Clarky Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've seen Happy Jack's band (which includes MacDaddy), NIgel silddx' band, burritobass' Case Hardin, Pete Academy's Nearly Dan, discreet's Pigbag, Low End Bee's The Jetsonics, PTB's Gentleman JIm (?) and possibly others. I do try to get along whenever a BC'er is playing relatively locally to me. I'd like to see Prescott, Kev, but the dates have never worked for me (working late, rehearsing, gigging, football etc). Its not a conscious decision to ignore you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 As an aside , I was in a sports car club for a fair few years and did a number of trackdays , while there was a large web forum presence of friendliness , I found that I was the only person of those that drove the marque to go and introduce myself to other owners who were there , it was bizarre , only once did someone come and introduce themselves to me in 6 years. I suppose though , I could be the guy they all wanted to avoid and maybe my sh1t stinks , or they were sooooo embarrased at being soooo slow . but still I still think it was odd.

Silvia Bluejay Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm actually [i]subscribed[/i] to the gigs subforum, which means I get an email every time someone posts a new thread. That's dedication, huh? And yes, I've been to quite a lot of gigs by BCers' bands. My problem is the lack of own transport, which means I have to miss a gig if it wouldn't be safe or possible for me to get back home on my own.

dave_bass5 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I do look in gigs occasionally but for the past few years I've been gigging most sat nights, and as I work during the week i am too lazy to travel too far to see a gig during the week plus I don't really like pubs. It funny but I really want to get in to gig photography, but so far done bugger all about it. I am planing on seeing Clarky's band this year, and I'd love to see others but I will only go if I like the music anyway. Not having transport also means I have to make more effort, and so I don't bother. Shame on me lol.

Dave Vader Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I don't live in London, and when i am up there I am inevitably up there gigging myself. Most gigs in there are london gigs. Thus I don't get to many of them, do keep my eye out though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I do look at the gig page (which is always useful as I'm the Mod for it ) but most of the gigs are too far away from my humble abode to get to or are often at weekends when I'm generally out playing as well!

fumps Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If said gig was in a pub (Which it would be) I'd be the one with a tethered horse under my arm wearing a a copy of the Sunday times....drinking erm a fiddle looking dead serious ! I would love to see some bands from here but i live in Leeds where no one ever plays & when they do I end up having my son that weekend so it usually goes wrong with the timing which is really annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
