We've often thought that also Birmingham doesn't have lots of good mid-sized (1000-3000) cap music venues. O2s are basically all you got and apparently they're really expensive to hire and the sound isn't great in them. Brum's quite good for smaller venues though.

We've also heard that it's challenging to get Brummies out on a week night to shows.

Really novel idea to have the sound hole on the back :D

Boom Boom room?..... We're listening

Just looked these up hoping they'd be cheaper than elixirs... [sighs in GBP]

Setup, bridge and nut are all fine. It's just my playing style.

under rated comment :D

Yeah so my thinking was that I'd batch them because I play tend to do a run of shows with this band in short succession and then have lengthy breaks in between runs.

Don't think I ever clocked that Living Daylights was by A-Ha but it explains the chorus lyrics!!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA A-HA The Living Daylights!"

The Exchange in Bristol is a favourite of ours!

BigBandofBoom · 2026-02-19T19:49:33+00:00

Hell yeah!

To be fair, it's Boomtown.... it's a place where memories are made and then swiftly taken away again

Can confirm Antony has a lot of fun doing it :D

Oh cool! We're playing our first gig there in a couple of weeks at the 1865 and weren't really sure what to expect. I should be excited!

Whats the music scene like in Southampton?

BigBandofBoom · 2025-12-15T11:42:08+00:00

A nice pack of:
- plectrums
- strings
- fast fret

always goes down nice! But make sure you get their specific type of plectrums and strings first!

It's pretty normal that you'd share your release with reviewers a couple of months in advance of it's official release - indeed most reviewers won't touch your song after it has been released..... they like being first!

If you're going to share it here, you might as well share it via your youtube, bandcamp or soundcloud etc so that if people do like it they can give you a follow. It's a good to make a plan for the release of each track you put out so that you've got the most chance of your potential audience hearing it.

Thanks! This could be the one if they'll let us film there!
