Possible function room for live radio shows

For a very long time, i have been trying to move radio shows out of the house
Today i went to see the Manager at Banburys Old Auctioneer the bar down Parson Street in Banbury which has been in business for well over a year now.
I talked to the manager about using their free function room for radio shows.
One of the main reasons is for live guests. At the moment its two people maximum. People do not mind skype, but to be honest, people in the same room is better



I gave him the outlay of what it is. The room is over twice the size of the room i currently use and they have wifi. The only two rules for the show at the Old Auctioneer is i am staying with the live acoustic format with live performances and that you buy the odd drink from the bar, which was pointed out by the assistant manger,  but i don't think anyone minds

With the room, its small section of the dinning area they have.  I can only do this on Fridays and Saturdays.
I showed the manager footage from, Silverspark, as its possible any bands that come along could possibly get booked.  Like with Silverspark the performed for about 20 minute, with some songs left for full band, which is fair enough

To give you an idea of space, this is the blog i created for Silversparks visit. It gives you an idea of the space needed

Anyone else sees this and can offer free space, i have no problem plugging the venue. I do Facebook event for the shows and get banner for the place.....at least its some publicity, least i can do

The two possible bands i mentioned to him are Aggravated, who can performance acoustic, as they have been on Skype before and Blackdoghat, which is in the wings at the moment

The History of Record Shops

Image
Since I have been helping to promote local record shops Strummer Room Records and new Mac’s Music Store here in Banbury  (One way of being involved), It occurred to me that not much attention historically is being paid towards record shops.  As a former owner of record shop Demand  Records ( still dabble with online vinyl album sales)(I miss it like crazy), I thought I would focus on this.  I realised recently that my shop is a part of. Over the decades there have been independent and chain stores. Depends where you live. The starting point is Banbury, who knows where this may lead?  I have decided to make this journey broader.  I thought to myself I am bound to get asked at some point. At the moment this is a few blogs and the start of an ongoing series on Youtube. This may lead to a documentary at some point. But not getting too far ahead of myself.                                                      Picture of Strummer Room Recorfs Strummer Room Records ( 4 years walk in and online

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time. Then the chess pieces fell into place, hired a van to move the gear and we landed into new HQ, beginnig of November 2015 Improvements Darren has a technical mind. He has gear, has been in bands and can se

The travel guide of Fun For Louis, aka Louis Cole

Back in the day, when TV and traveling around the world to different places was kind of everywhere, it was really entertaining, This has all but gone from the main British channels. One TV series that stood out was " The Rough Guide" taking you to the non tourist area's, well places where they allowed TV cameras That was the 1990s, now fast forward to 2014/2015 Youtube is now the place for many people to watch, essentially, TV. At the start, Youtube is not what it is now. However, more people are vlogging ( Short for video blog), comedy and documentaries. I am not a fan of collecting loads of people on Youtube and subscribing, as there is a lot of channels with the same stuff. You have, revewers, technology and gaming, which does get tedious after a while. It takes something good to grab my attention and one such person, from Surrey, England. is Louis Cole Although his, Youtube, life didn't start out daily vlogging or travelling, it is now the content he
