New Live Acoustic Music Night in Stafford!

Alright everyone,

Don't worry it's not one of those 'sign up & advertise' first posts, the people involved with this event are regular forum users 'gilbert grape' and 'tekkers' - we just wanted to create an account specific to our music.

Basically, we've decided to organise a Live Acoustic Music Night, which hopefully will be a regular event in the future.

Our first event is on Friday 3rd September, which gives us plenty of time to let everyone know, and make sure we pull a big crowd - that reflects the quality of the acts we have performing! The venue will be Stafford Rangers FC's Social Club. There will be an admission charge of a few pounds (& all money will go directly to Stripes (Stafford Rangers Supporters Trust)).

Why've we decided to do this? We want to create a brilliant acoustic night consisting of 6-7 acts, that everyone who attends - loves, it's on a Friday night, so it's a night after everyone has had a week at work, people can come along, listen to some quality acts and have a few drinks with friends and family.

We'll update you with information about tickets, start times and the line-up etc.

Hope that it's something quiet a few of you are interested in, we hope to pack the venue, have a brilliant night, and maybe it could become a more regular event if its a big success.

Thanks very much, if you want to monitor our updates on facebook we've set up a group this afternoon and you can see it here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=125540477477570&ref=ts

We were encouraged by the srfc beer festival and all the people who came down and said they loved it and had a great day or two at that, as a non-footballing event, as we were two of the group of volunteers who did that for the club.

Thanks for taking your time to read this message, would love to hear if anyone's interested in attending? Mr Tom Sofa is comparing the night, and is performing too! So come down and support him and our other acoustic acts that we'll have on if your not busy.

Huzzah and hurrah!

Make sure you bump it mind - that is some way away.

Also, if this is to be a regular thing it may be worth consulting with thefordsquad on dates so no clashes ensue to maximise potential audience.

Yeah it is, thanks for the reply, we just wanted to be able to give it maximum exposure and planning to make sure its a quality night for everyone who attends!

We'll decide on whether its a regular thing once we see how this one goes, we don't want to try to run before we can walk.

You interested in coming if your not busy that night?

Cheers.

I will also make the effort, if I'm in the country ( and I should be ) - it's a National Holiday in my house.

Brilliant!

We've got some really good acts lined up... couple of them perform locally, and there's a couple of acts who are up and coming and are yet to hit the scene but are really talented!

We'll keep everyone updated, and if you know anyone who may like to perform get in touch we'd love to hear from local acoustic performers or acts.

That's Lianne to most of us! Yes, they play regularly around the town and are fairly well known. We are awaiting confirmation of a few more acts who will really top the night off.
