If it was easy to get a train through to Stockton I might bother myself, but I'm not driving on a weekend cos it's alcohol time and I wouldn't get on a pissridden bus even if it was free.

What times do they run like?

I thought that they stopped running about tea-time?

GroovyCrimes · **Posted:** Fri Aug 03, 2007 3:53 pm

Last train back is 20:41,arrives in Hartlepool at 20:59
(in other words leaves Stockon 20 to 9 & gets here about 9 o clock)

Crap bands anyway

GroovyCrimes · **Posted:** Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:13 pm

Its a free gig Aly,even if you dont like the headliners theres plenty of local bands getting a chance.I reckon theres 3 or 4 bands worth a look on each day.

You doing a Victor De Lorenzo these days Saltington?? :wink:

Or did you just forget your drumstool?? :grin:

GroovyCrimes · **Posted:** Tue Aug 07, 2007 10:34 am

Something that annoyed me this year was the way they have fenced it off to stop you bring drink in & their 'bar' is pouring cans of Carling into plastic glasses for £2.50 a go. refred

If you want punters to use your bar then serve proper pints!

Salty · **Posted:** Tue Aug 07, 2007 2:15 pm

I've been doing standy up drums for about a year now Kev,made sense cos all i was playing was bass/snare/cymbals anyways...
means hi-hats go,but so what? hi-hays are shit anyways!!

Groovy, its a total con innit? did the same at MML too.
at least we had beers backstage and our pwn booze there too so we could pour it into cups and go into the main bit with our own booze...

whence I'd ran out and had to use the bar they were warm an all :evil:

Spender · **Posted:** Tue Aug 07, 2007 4:41 pm

Stand up drumming is the coolest of ice Mr Salt.

May I refer you to the wonderful Jellyfish as well as the incomparable Violent Femmes. You need to start with brushes though. :wink:

And jack your floor tom up to waist height.

Not rest it on your Jack though, use the feet. :shock:

Although I dunno, after the key and foot incident............. :evil:

bad planning, running out of bevvy like...no rider?? confised

Looked like a good one to me.
Anyone see The Archie Bronson Outfit?
Their cd is well worth a listen, someone downloaded it for me last year.

yeah we had a rider, had it necked quite quick tho being the greedy bastads that we are!

Spender · **Posted:** Wed Aug 08, 2007 4:22 pm

Let me check here.....you've got a rider, you've got a big drum/good hiding place. They've only got guitar cases.......

And you share it out???

Our keyboard player had a keyboard not longer than 18" so he could have that under one arm and fight us off with the other...... :roll:

This after he'd emptied his Mams medicine cabinet.

Whatever happened to rock and roll....... :roll:

Salty · **Posted:** Wed Aug 08, 2007 4:34 pm
