    I checked with my lovely assistant, who informs me that I'm going to see Tom Waits on Wednesday AND Thursday (yee-haw), and that I have to go buy a truckload of kebabs on Friday night (for Barbie on Saturday) (Barbie as in bbq, not my lovely assistant).

    So it looks more like next week if it suits?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon


    room for one more?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Yeah this week's after gettin a bit jammed too. Waits, daughter's birthday, blah, blah. But gonna be free from Sundalish I reckon. So anyone interested then jump aboard.
    May see you at Wait's on Thu. I'll keep my eyes peeled for your white sachel and red cross.
    Mind you I've got him all week as my balcony is perfectly situated for Phoenix pk and RHK free listening.

    So it's looking like Sunday's a goer. Jack Dev's on board and Oink. Anyone else up for rummaging through the next door neighbour's underwear?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    yowhatde underwear who now? Ah well - If everybody else is doing it I'll tag along.

    Not too early though, I have stuff to do in the afternoon. Are you joing us Hennessjon ?

    Last night was great guys - will we book another one in for a couple of weeks time?

    It'd be nice to get more people - henessjon, you still interested?

    It's an informal get together of musicians/songwriters, come and try out your stuff or just listen if you want - all are welcome!!

    Catch any mackerel Humerklog??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon


    oh yes i am but fill me in what the format is


    we bring a song and we play along or we go and start afresh, do I bring beer

    or drugs lol - joking btw


    accoustic affair or what

    {venue} info?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    That was fun all right.:)
    I quite like your songs Jackdev.

    Hennessjon, we generally meet at Humberklog's place. Bring a guitar or whatever/whoever you like to bang on to make noise, and then we all just sit down and see what happens...

    I'm sure there'll be another session soon.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    No flipping mackerel! 4 hours!
    Cracking evening gents. Lovin the new stuff jack.
    Anytime between now and 2weeks is good here for thew next meet up so I'll leave that open to others.
    HennessJ all anyone has to bring is an interest in the creative process. It really is as simple as that. Whether you wanna play tour own stuff, play along with others that want people to play along, talk about the writing/creating process. It is whatever you want it to be. No Snobs!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Anyone up for this week? I'm free 'til Friday so if that suits anyone then display your interest here.

    I'm away this week, so maybe next week...
    I enjoyed the last session, I feel more motivated to finish my song...


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    I finished my song !!! (see separate thread in this forum)
    Thansk H, the airing romo definitely helped me finish it! And thanks Jackdev for the encouragement!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Anyone up for a thursday gathering?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    You sound like a priest when you say that...

    Thursday works for me.

    Anyone else?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Amen to that brother Oink. Since I've began mucking about with funny tunings my bean and valve have started wobbling in not before felt ways in the mind of this absurd jew. Christianity it could well be. I wouldn't mind getting on the Christianrockgravyexpress. Whoo-whoo next stop Calvary!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    OOoops no can do tommorrow but am free all weekend to however's interested. Oink I'll have the recording equipment set up.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    Kool, thanks. I'll try and have my song more or less ready by then...


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    So tomorrow evening or anytime Sunday's good here. Anyone up for a few hours of trotting your prized pony around my sittingroom?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon

    You've only gotta say you're interested in coming along and I'll P.M you details. In fact I'll P.M them now to you so you'll have it for next time around.

    Hey H,

    I was kind of busy this week, but we'll arrange something soon.

    Same as Oink. Same as. Being trying to record in free time but it's a mare! The yips. Maybe next week. Keep in touch.

    PS I'm gonna be trying to set up that keyboard with the Zoom software. I can feel an Eno phase coming on. I need it for Cuppasoup song. Have a great idea in mind.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Anyone up for a meet up? Jack Dev? Oink? JBuffet?

    As usual it's an evening open to all interested in the creative process, regardless of talent or skills. So anyone interested at all just respond on thread, giving a peference for time and date.

    There is a change of address for next one. Heading northside for winter.

    So if you've been writing a few tunes and your mother thinks your great but your other half winces when you mention you've been writing songs then perhaps a trip to the airingroom is just what you need. Alcohol, stimulants and open minds welcomed.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    I'm in. My schedule is rather light at the moment, so anytime suits. Except saturdays, when I'm often busy until 5ish.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon


    monday-wednesday suits me evenings of course


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    I'm good too except for this Friday and Saturday. Sure we'll leave out there and see if anyone else is interested before setting a time as I know Jack Dev is interested too.
    Will be good to have you along Henessjon. New face to liven it up is very welcome. I'm sure we'll all be on our best behaviour. Do you play an instrument? There'll be plenty of guitars knocking about and a top of the range keyboard (that's a top of the range keyboard in the Argos catalogue, Circa '84, under 35euro range).

    Thinking of doing a round of corned beef or banana sambos but can't decide. I'm open to suggestions.
    Any cello players out there?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon


    the accoustic guitar i will be bringing :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 Jack DeValera


    I'm good for Sunday evening. That suit anyone else??

    And for the love of god humber, make it corned beef. I haven't eaten a banana sandwich since I was seven, and I didn't even like them then.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Sunday's good here too. Anyone else 2nding sunday?

    Jack the lesser spotted banana sambo is a very under-rated snack. I had one with a mini bottle of Cadet Cola the other day and my toes rolled back in pleasure and nostalgia. But I'm kinda leaning corned beef and mustard too.

    There is a change of address so it'll be a trip to de'norside 'burbs for anyone interested.
