Title: Local Band for Sat 9th April?
Post by: tommytogs on March 26, 2011, 07:40:16 PM

Hi,

I'm organising a bit of charity festival for circa 60-80 ppl in Marple on Saturday 9th April 2011, and am trying to find a couple of local bands to do a 45min-1hr slot each (ideally covers, but maybe one or two of their own songs)?

Does anyone play in a band / know someone who plays in a band / knows someone who's kids play in a band / etc...?

We do have a budget for the entertainment, but it's not massive - so it would suit local kids doing their first ever gigs (for experience, a bit of cash, and as much as they care to drink), or other people who aren't in it for the money.  It should be a very friendly crowd!

Cheers

I suggest you go to "Acoustic Soup" which is the Navigation tomorrow night (29th March at 8:30pm). Marple's musicians all hang out there and you will almost certainly find someone, particularly if you get the organisers (Jip and Dave) to announce it.

What kind of music are you after and where would it be? I'm in a local Marple based 5 piece band that does cheesy rock covers (we love a good guitar solo so its Queen, Bryan Adams, etc) and have played in a few local pubs over the last year or so. I don't know if I can coral the rest of the band together for the 9th, but could ask if this is your type of thing?
