I'm just a bit concerned that we havent heard from VincentL on this thread since April

Ive foned the pub and yes there is a beer festival....with music.... going on

but they havent heard of Bandamp!!!

VincentL please post!!!!!!

Well said Mr Fish... I'm certainly not taking a weekend off work, and then driving hours to just turn up for a beer festival.  More is needed - this could be a place for unfortunate non-attendees of the North American party to console ourselves in some really excellent Euro style knees-up (joined, of course, by those lucky enough to be able to attend both), or it could be a damp squib!

I don't want the latter.

Post Please VincentL

Ta

still no noise from vincentL

Hmmmm 

So what's the gen then on on this get together!???

With all due respect we don't really need a word from Vincent either, in that he has proposed a meeting place which is pretty central to England and close to Harwich, in this 'WWW' situation it doesn't depend on him, we are free to do what we chose !! 

I would like to see a fairly definite 'show of hand' as to who will be there though.

Is Sudbury under water? Does anyone know?

Landing in the middle of a 'Beer Fest' could have its good points!
It's not going to be something like Tritons used to is it? How big is Edwardstone?

THIS IS THE GOOGLE MAP FOR EDWARDSTONE

Thats the SPIRIT!!!!!
I go if You Go!!!
I reckon jimac will come 2
I'll see if RPG will travel down with me!!!
I SAY LETS GO FOR IT!!!!!
Maybe JBP will join too!!!

VINCENT or NO VINCENT!!!

It has Stopped Raining Too.......SUDBURY IS NOT UNDER WATER haha

Sorry guys for being so quiet lately but I was away with the family and without an access to a computer
There's been few changes since my last update but the festival is still on even if the pub is not run by my mate anymore
Camping is still free and there will be lots of band playing all weekend
I should have a spot secure on the Sunday to play so we'll be able to jam
I will send my contact to the fish via pm so can discuss the matter
I don't know what kind of gear will be available on site but I will bring my own (Roland AC60 acoustic amp , takamine acoustic bass , bass amp , mic , ...)
sorry again for living so late but I hope not too late
Vincent

OK... on the strength of this, I say "yes".

Will phone the pub and see if they have rooms to rent.  I'm fussy in my old age, and the camping gig really doesn't do it for me.

Meeting Saturday night... gigging Sunday pm.... all good for me.

I'll bring guitars, amp, pedal for sure.
I Have a 2K power amp that I'll bring if need be, but don't have speakers for.  Also, I have a 16/4/2 mixer and 3 mics that I can chuck in the car (but only one mic stand) if absolutely necessary, but it's far better to use the house PA if they have one.

Thoughts anyone?

So SUDBURY it is then ! 

I just booked the Fairy !  

I've got a mic I can bring , again the stand might be a problem though !!!

Spoke 2 VincentL on fone 2nite
The date for the gig would be the 25/26 of august
Its at a pub called the White horse inn in Edwardstone Suffolk (UK)
The pub has a beer festival all weekend and will have a stage with a sound system available both days
Time on stage for us is available -
Its a bit loose (ie not a dedicated Bandamp GIG) but who cares??? Its a start!!!!!
I think they are winging it as are we!!!
I suggest we just play it by ear and have a good time!!!!
have a song or two ready!!!
no need 2 bring PA stuff

the fish

any Q's PM VincentL

Im off to Canada  as of now!!!
   

Not quite up to the North American bandamp party... but it's happening today and tomorrow - and there will be a few bandampers there.  So off I go.

The fact that it's at a beer festival does make it attractive too of course 

So, if there are any last minute takers... see you at the White Horse in Edwardstone, Suffolk, UK in about 4 hours!!!

I can't wait to see what happen!!

share photos (and a beer)

haha

cheers
dodo

hey is it that location where 2 farmers and 3267 sheeps are living?

well I googled on the earth.... hmmm

*edit
look there is a tennis court

We had a seriously great time.. not only did the word of Bandamp get spread into deepest darkest Suffolk, but I spent two great days meeting people and talking (and playing) music with them.  Yes I had a beer or two - but had to drive, so no overdoing it for me.... of course, the same can't be said for Kings!!


There are some awesome musicians out there...
                        VinceL, I'm so glad that it was you following Lincoln and Robbie and not me! hehe

So I may even be back for the next festival there.

All that didn't make it (eyes North in particular) you missed a real treat.
