Strong of that experience of the weekend I think it would be a great idea to have forum (or just a threat maybe?) for upcoming show of the bandamp members
I'm sure there's lots of touring musicians on the site and what a shame it would be if one was playing near you and you wouldn't know it!

That's a really good idea, I'd love to know if a bandAmp member is performing somewhere on this European continent of ours! Its a good chance to not only get away but you also (sort of) know who your going to see! Makes it very special.

Yep.  I guess I'd check that quite often.

Now, if someone is willing to OFFER me a gig in Ann Arbor, MI, not too far from Central Campus, then we'd be in business.

Moderators, any chance of a sub-forum for that?

(just incase---quite obviously a joke)

Great idea Vincent....

Since the two performances I did over the weekend at the Eddy Fest, I've been musing over what happens next for me.  I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the acoustic set with Graham, and so have been looking at putting together 20 or 30 songs to play "unplugged"

So, I've also been looking at a few places local to me that put on acoustic, blues, and folk music.... there are four or five within 10miles.  Give me a week or two after I get back from my holiday and I'll be ready for the open-mic at least!!!

My bass player is not quite so confident of his own abilities however, and I still have to talk my brother in law into playing drums for the new 3 piece, so it'll be after Christmas for the shows to start in earnest with the new band - but it'll happen, it'll happen.

Vince... I want to get back up to Sudbury some time to listen (and perhaps play along) with you - when are YOU playing next?!

I know that PX is playing somewhere soon in Holland... I bet that Kings and Wisdom would go if they could, but unless we're told where - then nobody can make it....

The idea of a "Gig Guide" thread is excellent.   Good idea Vince, good idea!!!

I would have really liked to have seen this, especially as a bandAmp member.
