ok, i finally got some details on the PA system, although it means nothing to me, but it should hopefully mean something to you Smile

Desk is a Heath 24.4.2 and he has a Range me mics, plus 3 monitor speakers.

i then assume, we just link this into the club sound system??

Hi guys - just belatedly got onto this thread.

is the sound man bringing the abovementioned or is that part of the house PA?

is there a house PA? (if there isn't or there is a problem we have one)

who is doing the sound? can we talk to them directly to sort out the details?

how long are the performance slots? 5pm-12pm is 7 hours (looong gig) - divided by 8 performers is less than an hour each including changeover time. so about 40mins plus v quick changeover?

sorry if these questions have been answered elsewhere, feel free to redirect me!

Ok another update.

with just over 3 weeks to go untill the event, tickets have began to sell, but not as quick as i thought, can everyone please try plugging the event as much as possible, even if it just getting people to the website, I know there has been a lot of interest in this event, but transfering it to ticket sales is not happening.

if you can let people know, there is a limit on advanced tickets - this might help them decided to buy a ticket now Smile

manyh thanks

just another update.

Ticket sales have been almost non-exitent and to be completly honest i am contemplating postponing the event to a future date, the only thing that has stopped me is that i know people are booked on flights, hotels etc.

there has been a lot of interest in this event, however it just has now tranformed into ticket sales, 300 people may turn up at the event itself, but I have no way to guarantee this.

we will just have to see.

Ok, i have had a thought.

And i am afriad that i am going to have to postpone this event to a future date. There is just not enough tickets been sold.

The exact figure of tickets sold: 4, yes FOUR

Like i said in my earlier post, i can not guarantee if any more will turn up on the night itself and I cant help but think that all the artists are travelling 100's of miles to play to a practially dead venue, it just is not fair.

I really am so sorry that this has happened, i was as excited as all of you to be a part of this, i also feel for the charity who are also going to lose out.

I also apoligise to those who like myself booked hotel rooms, flights etc and i will do my upmost to cover these costs for the new date.

which brings me to my new point, Slim hosts Live Music at The Bedford, a acclaimed music venue in London http://www.thebedford.co.uk

She is going to talk to the management this week about hosting B2R there at a future date. mosre will come from that hopefully.

Again, i apoligise for all of this and hope that everyone can maintain some faith in me, that i CAN bring everyone together for this gig.

I haven't organised acoustic pub gigs for some while now but I used to do a lot of it back in the 1980s. More recently, I have played at quite a few poorly attended gigs locally, as well as at some rewardingly lively ones. I think live acoustic music in the English pub scene is very unpredictable. It is possible you could have had a lot of people turn up on the night, but there is no guarantee for that, especially if they have to pay.

I think these are tough decisions to make and I applaud the fact that you, as the organiser, had the courage to make this one ahead of time (it would indeed have been a long journey for me to drive just to play to an empty pub). So thanks for the advanced notice and I hope that your future endeavours are more fruitful.
