Get this one in your diarys because you know its going to be good.

Saturday 23rd December
Fruition's Christmas Party
Pirton Sports and Social Club
Great bands, Great entertainment and Great atmosphere

More details to be announced asap

aren't you going to get a bigger place because last year it was packed.

Nope i think we are sticking with the social club to continue tradition, and make it as messy as last year. Hopefully it will be even more mental this year, the line-up is looking great already.

Need a DJ?

Probably

I've got the phone number of Big Steve's Mobile Disco if you want it, ha ha.



Nah, if you need anyone to fill in the gaps, let us know. I'm sure Sticky will be up for it as well after last year.

It's all coming together and looks like it's going to be big.

Currently confirmed bands are:

Fruition
Montague Rainbow
The Rocketeers
The Artisans
Chris Ardent Kicks (acoustic set)

DJ's
DaBudge
Si and Chris

More acts to be announced soon

This is going to be quality so make sure you're there.

Oh yeah and anyone who wants to help out we are going to need a lot of help for this one so please offer your services. Obviously we can't pay because we have a lot of outlays for it but it will be appreciated.

Yeah, i'll come over and help you out. If you have any bands drop out can VN get on the list?

Clarkie caled mr today, i'm DJing that gig that you're doing in a (not at Hertford) marquee.



...and that's Bass Hero to you, not DaBudge

x

Cool cool.

Yeah we will keep VN in mind because we may need more bands anyway but were trying not to promise anyone till we know the full setup.

Oooh its getting bigger. gonna be quality.

gay slang?

maybe but still thats what you want isn't it

Not long now till the party of the year

yeah im welle xcited bosh x

yeah quality beki its gonna be proper bo

Did you say you've got the CDmixer sorted? Cos i'll have to ask Stick (who's probably gonna come along anyway)


Still working on getting the PA, but don't bank on it. Have a back up plan.

Yeah we have the cd mixer sorted.

Righo, no need to borrow Stick's then. Cool beans.

VN can't do it, Mark's busy that night. If you need a band and you're stuck give me a shout. Vicious Cabaret would be good if they're available

Is it an actual CD mixer or is it just 2 DVD players?

no actually its just 2 matsui discmans we got cheap down the market, connected to some of those portable speakers you get.

Only 4 days!

Have i got to get Stick's CD mixer or not?

When i say its sorted i mean its sorted.

Oh yeah and budge what about these stands and stuff can we buy them off you?

Si's gonna check with Lew to see if they want to keep hold of them cos they're doing this home studio/self recording thing together (i'd rather be in a band myself) so i'm not sure.

I'm sure the mic stands will be alright to seel as nobody's used them in 2 years, it's only if me and our John do a gig and all of Soundarc's stands are being used for rehearsals.

What do you still need for the party/ I've got 6 mic's (not the best, but they'll do for micing up drums etc)

3 x Mic leads (25ft)

3 x Jack-to-XLR leads

2 x XLR to XLR leads

3 x Mic stands

1 x a lead that i have absoloutely no idea what it does or where it came from.

Yeah that sounds good to me. We are still looking for pa as our back up has now fallen through. Are Berettas old speakers really that bad.

Muffled is not the word. Is is just the speakers or do you need the head as well?

head please budge! x

If you need any more mic stands, Dan's band have still got one from my brothers studio that they've had since their first gig! Therefore resulting in The Beat Maras (or whatever they're called) being barred from Soundarc until it returns.

We aint got it! it wasnt from the gig at all! we didnt take any mic stands to or from that gig! Plus the only mic stand we do have is at liams and its old and broken! who did you lend it to?

Well you'd better have a word with Bondi then, cos he's saying Liam's got it. He borrowed it from Soundarc for that gig at the Tav, my brother asked him 3 times to return it, Bondi fobbed him off saying he'd bring it back, then bullshitted saying one of his band had brought it back (they hadn't) then he said to me (last Thursday night) "I'm bored of dealing with it, Liam's got it so talk to them"

Like i say, my bro's banned them from the studio until it returns and now he's brought The Artisans into it, so they've pissed on their own chips.

Mmmmm piss on chips......festive!x

Anyway there's gonna be a big Christmas party in Pirton on 23rd and Fruition are organising it. You should all come down

Would our PA head/speakers be at all useful to you guys? 600 watts, large speakers. I can't really be arsed to read this whole thread but if you need anything just ask me or Jim and we can work out an exchange involving equipment for bum love. xxx

Yes please
