Any bands want a gig?

[Otta]

Hello

Our band Zonderlings are a bit frustrated at the lack of South London venues for original bands to do gigs. So, we've decided to just put our own night on.

I know the manager of the Half Moon, Hearne Hill, and have played there a couple of times with a covers band I was with. The plan is that we'll hire the venue for the evening, which includes PA, and sound tech. We need 3 or 4 other bands to all come and play 30 - 45 minutes sets. Anything goes really, but original material would be good.

We'll charge a fiver or so on the door, and once our initial expenses for venue hire have been covered, whatever is left will be divided equally. We won't make a fortune, but it'll buy a few beers, and should make for a cracking evening.

Let me know if you're interested. Ideally reasonably local bands who could bring a good crowd along.

Cheers.

I know a band which are of the original Rhythym and Blues ilk, but it's all their own stiff, would that fit ?

If so I'll ask them. They've headlined 100 Club (at a night I put on).

Also, what about a young punk band, mainly their own stuff - no gobbing though, that's so 70s/80s.

Both sound good to me KK, would be cool to have a mix of styles.

No date as yet, will arrange a date once I know I have the bands...

Just to add, I've got the go ahead from The Half Moon, so once we get the bands this WILL happen. Probably late September / early October...

Just got a Yeah from both bands FYI.

Otta, don't know if you tried the fox in lewisham for a gig?

[Otta]

No, where is that?

[Jeremy]

Fox and Firkin. I've been to a couple of gigs there (originals bands). I seem to remember that they charged on the door. It works pretty well as a venue, actually.

[Otta]

Fox & Firkin, wow, that brings back memories of my teens!

Cool, will look in to it.

The Fox and Firkin is almost opposite Ladywell swimming baths
