Hey Al I'm not in london but a band I dep for outside london might be interested in this - you got an email or anything I can get them to send you some stuff over for? S

Hey. I'd recommend contacting either Becca Robinson She's moved a little bit out of Cambridge but when I've played with her, she is one of those drummers that I just click with http://www.beccadrums.co.uk/ Luke Pettit He's in Bury St Edmunds, another top drummer and very friendly chap. https://www.lukepettitdrums.com/ Both of these peeps I know through theatre and function work, are both classically trained and very able at all styles. The third person, who I know taught Becca above, I always hear as a recommendation, but I don't know/have never worked with personally is Roger Batting http://rogerbatting.com/home/

Generally Musical Theatre band books come in a red bound book like this: I suspect the 'Mao red book' thing might be only with a certain generation though

I like 42nd Street band. The pit band is already taken and has a huge following

Can I get some ideas for names for a corporate/wedding/function band? I'm sure its been asked before, but boy is it FUDGING hard to think of an original, unoffensive, bland, band name for corporate gigs? The guys I'm forming it with are two other pit musicians, so if it has some subtle Musical theatre reference , thats cool Ideas so far: Upstage The Red Book Band The Interval (s?) Stage Right

Definitely falling into the business side of bands here I'm setting up a pro function band, from scratch, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a CRM? I've seen things like Giggio (I'm not sure about , because doesn't have the band organising side in it) but open to ideas

Probably Muse HAARP

To be fair, Cambridge Cornex is effing awful for sound. I _believe_ the sound there actually is what triggered a position vertigo I had a few years back. 3 weeks of not being able to do much more than sit down or lie down for hours on end , as standing up or moving made me sick.

I did a gig as an opening act supporting black box. One of hte weirdest gigs I've done but Black Box were awesome. How do you define a dance track? If we're talking 'Eurodance' I'm going to put my £0.02 with

Does being forced to leave early due to train timetables count? I had to leave Stevie Wonder in hyde park doing the whole of Songs in the Key of Life early Why? Because he started nearly an hour late, then had a 1 hour break between sets /(discs on the album).

Do they only wear masks when it is uncool to do so?

Haha, yes I appreciate there are older people here, but I was just a bit mindblown by a comment from one of the kids I coach . About how the music I listened to is old. then I realised it was in fact, 30 years old , which is the difference between when I was a boy and the music my parents would listen to.

Consider the fact that those who are young kids now look at our music from the 90's /00's and think of it in the same way that we (parents of young kids - ie millenials) looked at music from the 60's when we were young.

for the sake of argument - MP3 really flips around with speeds and timing, but you are largely right

Last time I used premiere I definitely didn't obtain it through a sea based downloading website ...

Not free but Adobe Premiere I found spectacularly easy to do what you described on. I haven't used for a while and i think it is now a cloud/monthly based model Its not much different to editing audio (on a very basic level) - put your audio layers and video layers on and change the levels etc etc As a soundie, it made the most sense to me

QFT Thing is i'd love to share some of this around the social medias but just know its not going to be the same in a different forum

Just to elaborate the ensure loud music explicity has an exemption to bands. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1046/made On the grounds of professionalism - well, tricky one. Are you self assessing and declaring your income from music? If not, you're walking a dubious ledge between claiming to be a professional

Do we know if this has even been reported to the local plod? I'd have thought this would severely negatively affect their event license

Because the alternative offered was less representational/proportional than the current system.... https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/voting-systems/types-of-voting-system/alternative-vote/

Except that more peopl voted for parties that were remain or 2nd ref than leave in the last election, but the biggest leave party gets a huge majority in our quite frankly, f****d voting system

Except the number of day jobs is doing down and there are just shedloads of Zero Hour contracts to fiill.... and Jobcentre paperwork. The effect on immiigration on supressing workers wages is under a single percent. There are far more iissues, like constant deregulation etc. Sources https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46918729 https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/the-labour-market-effects-of-immigration/
