What's this you ask? It is an event made up of 4 nights of quality live music from Swindon bands. The aim is to raise money for the Prospect Hospice and showcase some of the best local music talent around. Why am i posting this? Well i am helping to promote it. There are no fewer than 40 bands playing over 6 venues and 4 nights. It's going to be one big great show! The event will begin on Thursday at the Winners Lounge (yes that place) when my band Thorne and Durera support The Unforeseen in what looks to be a great night! I reckon with media attention we could help to raise loads of money for charity. So if you are doing nothing this weekend i urge you to come and check out one of the shows. The Vic is Friday night (20th July), The Rolleston and The Furnace on Saturday 21st and 12bar and The Beehive on Sunday 22nd. And of course on Thursday 19th. We can raise loads for this! Just thought id let people know what is going on and what kind of event this is. Would be good to raise some money for a great cause. Cheers Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, July 14, 2007, 14:28:43 If anyone's going to the vic leg then hang about for a bit and I'll meet you in there for a pint after I finish work.

I suppose it's a possibility. I'm definitely getting drunk on friday as it's results day. I just remembered I'll get my blood test results back by the end of the week as well, so hopefully I'll have reason to celebrate rather than drown my sorrows. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/aids.gif :?

Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, July 16, 2007, 11:19:37 I'm playing the sunday leg at the beehive with my band Black Squirrel. You'd all be fools to miss it.
Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: lebowski on Monday, July 16, 2007, 11:25:27 i think i've seen black squirrel somewhere... was it in soda, back when that hosted no more heroes?
i think you might have played with that band whose singer thinks he's bobby gillespie. very hazy.

You'd all be fools to miss it. yeah looks a good bill for the Beehive on Sunday. Unfortunatly i cannot make that show as i have band practice that day so that's a bit annoying!

That was our worst ever gig! That was the night we played in Fusion at 21:00 and then Soda at 10:30. The guitar broke and we couldn't fix it so had to use someone elses guitar and then the bassist snapped his G string because he was coming up on beans. Fucking losers! We're a bit better now, more chilled and have keys in the band aswell. The other band was called the Sturgis Armoury and you're talking about Gibbo. he cracks me up! Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, July 16, 2007, 12:23:42 And again. THIS THURSDAY night! The Unforeseen, Durera and my band Thorne! Be there or be square!

Rich I am reliably informed by Flammable Ben that I saw your band Friday night in the Bell. I was on the table down the end and thought you guys were good, the Weller tribute were alright as well.

At the end of most songs we made noise and I think we did at the end as well, although Friday turned into a messy night so cant 100% recollect it :D Everyone we were with enjoyed your band, you play good modern indie and I cant remember a song that I didn't like. Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: jonbd on Monday, July 16, 2007, 14:17:29 Should be a good weekend! I'll be peddling my piano based guff on the Saturday at the Rolly.

Tee-hee Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, July 16, 2007, 15:15:02 I have never snapped a string before on bass. I'm sure my time will come :mrgreen:
Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, July 16, 2007, 15:27:39 ah, he's a proper bassist though! He snaps a string roughly once every month or so, snapping and popping away like a loon.

Don't take me seriously.....depending on what time you're playing I'll almost certainly be there, and I'll give anyone a listen Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 15:53:37 If you are in there when we play, i'm the pianist. Introduce yourself.
Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: blinkpip on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 15:55:44 Is there no Rich townend discount for this? And isn't it annoying when places advertise and never mention the price.

Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 17:08:28 No worries. I can't make Sunday up The Beehive either for the same reason :(
Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 20:09:28 What you're practicing for Thursday?
It'll be a bit late by then mate! :D Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 20:10:55 Quote from: "jayohaitchenn" What you're practicing for Thursday? It'll be a bit late by then mate! :D I thought the same. They do practice every sunday though apparently. You wouldn't know from the way the lead singer forgot his words t'other night :D Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 21:51:43 Quote from: "jayohaitchenn" What you're practicing for Thursday?

It kicks off at the Winners Lounge! I will be there with my bass guitar :mrgreen:
Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, July 22, 2007, 02:58:29 Quote from: "jayohaitchenn" Some of the shows are free. The beehive one is definately free. It's getting a bit late, but can you confirm that you'll be playing in the afternoon and not the evening? My presuming things has led my plans astray somewhat. Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, July 22, 2007, 08:58:32 They are listed as the second to last act Ben so i'm assuming they'll be on in the afternoon sometime. Probably at about 3ish. I can't make this as i have practice which is a shame. Things kick off at 11 am at The Beehive

Title: The Swindon Shuffle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, July 23, 2007, 13:29:15 £2500 (or in the region of) raised for the prospect they reckon. everyone should give themselves a pat on the back if you played or went to one of the shows. i couldn't make any other shows which was a shame :( i expect there will be a Shuffle 2008 though :D
