Introduce Yourself

Hi My Name is Bill and I'm from High Wycombe. I play trumpet in a band called beat the red light. I like beef, cider and music. I've been diggin a lot more roots and culture as of late but I think it time to see some more UK talent. Make it brutal!

Hi Bill. BTRL have been mentioned quite a few times here, good stuff.

Playing with you guys on Saturday, gonna be awesome!

BTRL are one of my favourite bands at the moment, despite a lack of gigs in the South West (hint hint)

Sorry dudes am awful at the internet sometimes... must be getting old

Furious D, which band were you in saturday? I was hammering down the strongbow all day so was a bit all over the place but had a good day!

Parg, the reason we don't play the south west often is due to the massive distances we have to travel and partly because of the lack of people that want to book us. We love the southwest... thats cider country!

I think the closest we will be coming is Cheltenham in September. Can you recommend any quality promoters round your yard?

Ha! I just answered my own question there seeing who posts the Random hand updates... my bad. Good stuff!

Would you play down here for cider?

Not really. The only promoter round here I know is Deadpunk Promotions but that's in Bristol. Dunno if they would be called a quality promoter or not either.

I'd love to but not sure how the rest would feel!

It seems Bristol is a hard city to play in unless you are a big name or a local name. Trust we are working on it though!

thats something we've found too

Hey, Im Jake, big Punk & Ska fan, Im almost 18, live in the North West of England, sadly cant make it to the Rebellion festival this year, which is a real kick in the yarbles (basically left it to the last minuite) . I know summers from another forum Im a member on, Im sure he knows me as proxy. Well, Im looking forward to posting here.

Hello everyone, it's taken me ages to get round to posting in this bit of the forum!
I'm Angie, I'm 27. I'm a bit of a The Display Team groupie but my tastes are really quite eclectic and not all of it is ska-punk. I heard about this forum through last.fm which doesn't take into account that I listen to most music on CD. I think I might be the most Southern Southerner living as I do in Bournemouth. There are hardly and good gigs here I miss London

dont worry about not all of your music being ska-punk, i have a massive mix of random crap and only a fraction of its ska.

ditto!

Wrong, I live in Exeter, However you probably didn't know that Hmm I might try and get people from plymouth and maybe cornwal on here, fairly difficult though, as i don't know anyone from cornwal, and the people I do know in plymouth are not huge ska fans.

Where are you from in the North West, Jake?

Hey guys,

been directed here from my very good friend Skeej from the MangoMafia!

I too play in a Leicester ska band called; Last Edition.
We are a 5 piece ska pop punk band, up for good times, memories and to get away with as much partying as possible! lol

Warrington/St Helens area.

Me too! I was born in Whiston and lived in St. Helens for 13 years. Then I moved to the lake district for about 6 years, and now I go everywhere.

So, you're currently living in Norwhich? what a bummer. Is there anyother st heleners or Muckers on this board?

I'm from Ormskirk, but thankfully that isn't St Helens, it's just next to it.

my cousin was born and raised in haydock which again is next to st helens.

I wasnt though so its kinda irelevant.

Haydock is in St Helens, it has a pretty good race track.

its not in st hellens its 4 miles away!

Haydock is in St Helens,I've lived in the area all my life.

Haydock is a village and electoral ward within the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, in Merseyside, England. The village is located roughly mid-way between Liverpool and Manchester, close to the junction of the M6 motorway and the A580 (East Lancashire Road). It lies within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire. At the 2001 Census, the village had a population of 11,962.
