Yes, it does look very nice, but I rather think you may feel a little out of place there, mate. Scroll down to the bottom picture and take a look at some of the pictures on the walls to find out why!

It's the home of the Accy Clarets. When we played Chelsea the other week it opened for breakfast for the advance party setting off at 7.30am

O.K. so you want to see something live, well if you go to the Railway this Saturday at 8 p.m. you will be able to see:-

The Inca Thieves

They are supposed to be an excellent indy band, (whatever that is), with their own original material.

I hope you not only go and enjoy, but also,

A/ Mention that you saw them advertised on accyweb to everyone there.

and

B/ Take some time to tell us how much you enjoyed the show.

If you now come on here saying you couldn't put the effort in to go, then don't complain if this turns out to be the last 'live act' on show in there.

Well no response from the starter of this thread.

Will any other accywebbers be turning up?

I hope so, because if this proves successful, maybe they'll put something else on that I and others like me might enjoy, but if no-one goes, where is the point of complaining about no live music?
Let's all just stop in and let the rubbish karaoke crowds keep dominating our pubs!

i think accy should have a music festival , i know my pub the calder would have a few groups on , every pub should get involved , maybe get a task force on it , anybody wishing to help should pop in and speak to me

Benipete · 12-12-2008, 20:43

If you can't go to your local pub after a hard day down the pit - in the mill - on the building site or in the engineering works or local factory and have a fag and a pint It's time to give up.
Sorry I seam to be in a time warp.

Out of curiosity how do you think it would work?

How many pubs do you think would get involved or have the capacity to host bands? What would be the market - what type of music?
When would be a good time - summer? How many people go down town these days?

I see the beginning of an idea so just need more suggestions.

quickjet71 · 12-12-2008, 21:11

worked in many areas that have done this type of thing but can go a few ways 1 , council would have to get involved and then streets , would be closed , then maybe few headline bands would play in front of hyburn council , maybe like the xmas switch lights switch on , then at night each pub would have there own type of bands on , think each calder would have indy bands but some would have rock , depends what your music you play,

all depends on people getting involved
