Charity compilation radio special

Image
The Radio Special We will be using, General Foods Sports and Social Club, for the radio show and it only costs £12 for three hours. Its not a huge room, but large enough for one band to perform, with me, laptop, mixer, microphone and probably mixing deck, unless a band brings their own Because this is not a public event with more than one band, i want to stretch this to two band performances The bands can have an hour each or less, depending on how much material there is, which will give time for bands to change over. The venue is open 7-12pm so three hours is plenty of time Any bands or acts that are not in the U.K and want to perform, can do so on Skype, unless they are in the U.K want to come over. The net connection, will be via phone, as the venue has no wifi. If an alternative venue can be found with wifi, then we will change the venue for a better signal In the future We could have a gig in the future.  Its always possible to do something larger. What i do has n...

Vlog is video blogging in a video network, mainly Youtube The whole idea is an experience of vloggers coming together, filming each other in one place at once time This is not be live on Youtube as it will defeat the whole object, but obviously film up later on Chris Pirillo, who runs, Lockergnome, in,  Seattle, Washington, U.S.A, along with many sponsers ( Still room for more) has organised vloggerfair, for June He has built up a net community though all social media main sites.

I have volunteered in charity shops, but i have always wanted to do something music related Well here it comes June is the release of a donated based RVS Compilation. Various artists coming together to suppoirt charities, which are: The Red Cross and Habbitat for Humanity The two charities do a lot for the planet we live on.  They deal with housing and volunteers going to natural disasters and many others things.

Among the Echoes ep launch @ 02 Academy

Image
3 acts, all synth related, all different, all entertaining. Met Amanda for the first time, as it turns out she was the floor above in the same hotel.  She is a big Adam Ant and Johnny Normal fan. I like the fact that the hotel is only just around the corner from the, 02 Academy.  Anyone going to future gigs at the 02, The holiday Inn, is probably the best place to stay overnight as trains stop way too early My wife Rhonda had won tickets to see the bands via a competition put on Facebook by Ian of, Among the Echoes. This gig was the launch of Among the Echos ep, Freak I had never been to an 02 Academy until now and had no idea what to expect. It turns out the bands were going to perform in one of the smaller rooms of the venue. The tickets were only £6, a bargin. First up, a band i have been wanting to see,since i got their music from, Jet Noir, Elmo Sexwhistle Fabulous, synth rock sound.  You could see all the band all the way through the performance, a...
