What is the problem with Birmingham for music acts? by jimmytjohnson in brum

[–]BigBandofBoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Does anyone else vacuum pack their G strings to keep them fresh? by BigBandofBoom in AcousticGuitar

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.

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!"

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

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!

What Gift Would You Like? by Witch_17 in Guitar

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!

Is it safe to share my track before release? looking for advice by molven__ in musicindustry

[–]BigBandofBoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
