Ahhh, OK. You can see the next question coming. (What takings constitute ‘go well’).
I’ve spent too long in business I’m afraid.

Re: Loaded
From the previous promoter. He has gone it with the venue and is doing all of their entertainment going forward. We have 6 months to be successful at the price we are on then 2% on the bar will be offered on top if we do well. To be honest I haven't seen the venue yet, apart from photo's. I am goin...

Re: Little Gems
An example from 1946 of why jazz fans rate Nat King Cole's piano playing pretty much as highly as his singing. Oscar Moore's guitar is non-too shoddy either:

Re: Loaded
Update. We have moved to a Saturday night, rather than a Friday and on to a completely new venue. The When Polly Met Fergie Restaurant opened a year or so ago, it's a vegan restaurant. It has become quite popular in this provincial town. Anyways, now that they are doing well they want to develop th...

I like a nice drunk song but don't forget there's a price to be paid!

No, I like them a lot. A light touch musically but interesting and a great laconic vocal without sounding miserable or stoned, like too many do these days.Psmith wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 6:04 amDue to overwhelming demand another from In League with Dragons.

Re: New for 2019
Nice little tune although the visuals don't match the song which is fairly conventional.

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever need to work on a catchier name but they're good at what they do.
The Neil Young is absolute quality.

Re: Little Gems
It's worth a catch-up. We were in a shop in Amsterdam and there was a tune came on that I liked and he tells me it's Disclosure, a group I'd rather ignored as being a bit mainstream. To cut a long story short he played me this. He was annoyed as usual when I told him that I had several versions alre...

Re: New for 2019
Finally caught up with Undi's tunes (I'll get to yours later Smitty). All very fine although the Low Island isn't available any more. I like and understand what they're doing with the tunes but I'd just like a bit more light and shade sometimes, just to keep me interested. As you point out, Charlott...
Re: Loaded
Just to understand, might you still get a regular night with the promoter?
The other thought is whether the demand is there to put your night on independently charging entry, either hiring the venue or doing the classic ‘gate money/bar takings’ split with the venue.

On the other, you now have a seller's market for your services.
Re: Loaded
That’s a bugger Undi.
Do you have any preference (i.e. venue or promotor)? It might be an idea be proactive and give them both a call.

Re: Little Gems
Of the two I much prefer the Neutral Milk Hotel - attractively shambolic. Bap is fine but not for me. I have a playlist called 'I Like That!' where I put odd things that come up on shuffle that are hard to categorise but that I love. Here are a couple of recent ones.

Re: Black Music In Europe
I caught series one and enjoyed it greatly.
Thanks for the heads up on series two though as I hadn't realised it was on - if it's half as good as series one then I second your recommendation wholeheartedly.

Re: Covers
Following from Psmith's post of 'For What It's Worth' I thought I'd post a couple of covers from the library but I couldn't choose which since they're all quite different and I like them all so... The most recent - very decent pop-dance-rap version from a 90's UK outfit: Oui 3 -For What It's Worth E...
