Whats happening in accrington

[Gayle]

So the free concert put on the street would be early in the evening - say 6pm - 8pm, then the pubs would put bands on for the rest of the evening?

Would be good if it was summer (hopefully warm) so that people would be happy outside.

that has the makings of a good idea to me.

I think once you start opening these things up to a street concert the police are likley to become very cautious. Colne's event has gone downhill and is much more confined to the pubs since it became a haven for morons drinking on the streets, especially under-age. Shame really because thats what made it a success in the first place, but like anything else the minority always spoil it.

think broadway could be used for street bands, after the shops close, no traffic problem there.

listen its just ideas in my head but think if we start thinking about it by july or august things could really happen, if darwin and manchester can do it why cant we ,

[cashman]

from little acorns, or so they say! union st, dutton street, along wi broadway could be used fer outside stuff.

[Gayle]

Big things come out of little ideas.

[quickjet71]

Are you able to canvas other pubs and see who would be interested?
