Rally Chat Potential 'Music & Mechanicals' meet July 2016 - South Lincs

[Michelle CV]

Hi, see also the forum section of 'scheduled rallies' .....I'm pretty sure Misterton happened already.

Thanks for the help. Found section on rally chats and scheduled rallies - looking at the one re Misterton - there are no details of what it is, where it is etc. and an assumption that everyone knows from last year lol Also I am confused that lots of them are not in the event diary which is where I naturally looked to see what was happening - confused.com

What normally happens is that you'll see a post in this part of the forum....which is 'planning & chat', once the decision is made there'll be a thread in 'Scheduled'. I believe the calendar entry is separate so relies on someone remembering to do it. Some rallies are very popular and run each year (like Misterton) but I thought there's normally more info posted when it's nearer the time.....

 

[Malcolm Bolt]

Please note this expression of interest. Sounds like something we would enjoy.

As it's not far from our static the chances are that we'll be in that area at the time 'chilling' out - would we be allowed to pop in to say hi if we got the opportunity?

I don't see why not. There is a museum car park, so even if we have filled every available patch of grass, there should still be somewhere to park. Current thinking is that the main music session will be on the Saturday evening, but keep an eye open for details nearer the time.

 

[makems]

Presumably Simon its a matter of just bringing the acoustic?
So I can leave the Les Paul and Marshall 100w stack at home?

Yep. Don't fancy trying to mic up & balance 20+ musicians all at once!

On a general note, if someone wants to bring an electronic only instrument, that's fine, but the volume will need to be set at a comparable level to the other acoustic instruments.

It will be open session format - someone starts a tune - anyone who knows it & wants to play along just joins in. Singers will have to hope that instrumental players will moderate their volume accordingly! It's a bit like singing in the choir - if you are struggling to hear the person next to you, then you are playing too loud! Squeeze boxes, banjos & percussion generally have to hold back a bit, mandolin & nylon strung guitars have to give it some welly & whistle players are just stuck with what they've got!

Although there is a performance element to a session, as in lots of people will be sitting around just listening, it's not a concert. The musicians will be playing whatever comes into their heads for their own collective enjoyment. With any luck, the overall sound will be good enough that it will be pleasant to listen to by those sitting around. Deciding what to play next is often a case of thinking "What do I know & like that I think the rest might be able to join in with".

 

[SUGGY]

I think it would be sensible to set up a mike with an amp for those who wish to sing and play .

I hadn't forgotten that you had expressed an interest back in post #10 on 3rd August.

The attendance list will open in the new year, when I will be asking for actual bookings. All the rally & meet dates for June & July should be known by then, so people will be able to make proper plans for where they want to go. I'll tag everyone who has expressed an interest, so you will get a reminder.

The events pages for June & July are still looking very bare - only this meet & the York rally on there so far, so I trust other organisers will put their events up as soon as they have dates finalised. I do know that Misterton is supposed to be happening at the end of June.

 

[Daisie]

Hi would be grateful if you could put us on the list.
The first house we bought after moving to Derbyshire was a family that ran the" World Bubble Car Club" it took him ages to empty his loft of spare parts and there was a Xlarge garage that housed about 4 bubble cars and a large shed that had more and a second garage as a workshop, so would be interested if same person running this museum.

Cheers.

It's going to be a busy summer! We are on the Misterton interest list, then there is this one & I'd love to get to Hartlepool next year if it doesn't clash - we couldn't make it in 2015. Then we are off to Sweden at the end of July, if the plan comes together.

We are also taking band bookings through into Autumn 2016, so it's all getting a bit tight & 2015 isn't even over yet!

 

[Spots]

Am interested. Pls put me down on list,

 

[Bilbat]

[ukbill]

[TheCaller]

Yes - see site's own web site linked from post #1.
Additional £4/night & I'm not sure how many there are - not enough for everyone to have EHU, but at least half, I think, which should be plenty. I'll confirm when we do the proper booking in the Spring.
