Hope you weren’t excommunicated cause of us!! We could look for other venues perhaps, anyone got any ideas?
Pretty sure Sty offered up his place at one point... :wink:
I've been watching this thread and pretending it doesn't exist because if it did it would neccessitate some practice.

If folks fancied a trip out to the sticks I'm sure I could tidy things up and move some stuff around so we had a decent amount of space to make some noise in :) I can provide a drum kit of someone wants to bang the tubs, and have a bass+amp if someone wants to hit the drummer/join in

You can all see what a Zakk Wylde Bullseye sounds like with a set of Integrities in it.

At the moment I can't do weekend of 26th/27th Nov and I'd need to run any other dates past the wife!

Doesn't bother me if it's a Saturday or a Sunday.

"Old" is somewhat a relative term... the rest, pretty much describes the bulk of us, I suspect! They put up with me returning time and again!
