    Hey j,no didn't do anything at weekend about airing room. I'm leaving it open to suggestions from good people like yourself for the time of next one. I didn't mean any particular weekend,it was just to say i'd do it on weekends(could be a bit handier for some). This coming saturday is a busy one for me but any other time should be do-able.
    So anyone wanting to come by and when?

    So is anyone interested in this saturday the 12th?


  • Registered Users Posts: 44 Jack DeValera


    Nobody for today???

    Let's try mid-week humberklog. I think it might be better.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,431 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Anyone up for polishing up on some tunes? Dusting off their elephant orchestra and taking it around the block a few times?
    I can do (and will be doing) tomoro(wed)or thur.
    As usual this is an open evening for anybody that is reading this and fancy's playing their music in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,088 ✭✭✭mada999


    hey man, yeah I'm polishing some tunes off at the mo..hopefully pop up to ya in the not too distant future!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 rossa64


    hey folks, iv just stumbled upon this thread now, i was lookin for some website that i could post up lyrics and stuff and hear feedback, but the airing room sounds like a far better, more worthwhile idea!

    has it been going ahead or, is it still in the pipeline? im a budding lyricist(i think) and can play guitar, but for some reason im having a terrible time stringing the two things together - probably due to lack of singing skills, but id like to come along to the airing room, and air some opinions, sit down and play or even to just watch and see how other people work - iv tried jammin with friends in the past but i never seem to feel like it gets me anywhere. some progress would be fun...

    This has to be done folks....time to get the finger out! I'll have my car back next week.......hopefully.....so pick a time and date!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,431 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Yep it's fingers out and get these tunes playing. Looks as though a few people interested too. Mada?(don't worry if the tunes only nearly there,so are half mine), Rosa? Dream? Ken.m? Jack? Whoever else wants too, just jump in with a day. Any evening suits here between now and next weekend (9th-ish). I wouldn't mind doing one this week but I'll leave days to be sorted by collective response. So get posting your prefered day. This weekend is fine with me also. Hey dream what are you bringing that you need a car?


  • Registered Users Posts: 404 ✭✭dream brother


    I'll bring the only thing I need....myself....I live in Navan so the whole walking to you doesnt really work!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,431 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog

    No prob, sure just keep an eye on thread for one that's at a time that suits you. I've no problem having it in mine. It's my own apartment in islandbridge so there's zero hassle. Have a bit of recording equipment too, nothing fancy. Getting near barBq weather too and I've a big balcony,hmmm. Given me an idea.
    So anyone for this week or weekend?

    With such a fab weather I'm gonna be out on balcony playing away this evening all night. If anyone wants to kick back and knock a few tunes around with a glass of wine in a relaxed atmosphere then your more than welcome. Some of you already have my phone number and you can give me a text to let me know. I feel inspired after watching jack dev and frobisher do their thing in Whelans last night. Excellent work all round chaps.

    Thanks Humber! We'll get you up there one day maybe?

    You never know! I just can't figure out if my stuff is sh*te. Not to take anything away from the enjoyment i get from it but that doesn't mean to say it wouldn't make other peoples ears burn.
    But well done again Frobisher. Great sound in that venue last night. The Babecounter was through the roof too! But so was the skinny jeans on men (gotta watch that).


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,431 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Cracking evening Oink, excellent. I'm out tracking down my nylon string at moment as you've inspired me to go more funky. Loosen up a bit. Was rfefreshing to hear a bit of Gil Scott Heron style. Drop by again anytime. I'm sure I'll see you around Temple Bar. I'm usually throwing stones at that twat Dave Macsavage around there (really!).

    Quite enjoyed that myself I have to say, it was quite fun. I'll drop by again soon! Will give you a buzz. Let me know if anything is happening.

    Also, you get extra points as the first person I know in Ireland who's heard of Keziah Jones.

    Regarding whatshisname... My lawyer says I don't gots nut'in to say on the subject.

    You can add me to that list :-) In fact, I reviwed his first album for amagazine about 10 years ago. Some great stuff.

    Oink: Are you a funk guitarist?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,151 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    Pff... I wish. But I love Funk/Soul/Afro-beat, so I do try to sound kinda funky.

    In my head it I play like Keziah Jones, I sing like Sly, and the JB's are my backup band. But you know...:rolleyes:

    EDIT: I feel less alone now that I've found more KJ fans. It was cold out there !


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,431 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Anyone up for popping over this week? Tonight,tomorrow and thursday suits here. Won't be around weekend. So if you fancy popping over and have my number then give me a call or if not then stick your name up and I'll pm ph.no.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,151 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    Sounds like a plan. tomorrow or Thursday sounds more like it. Let's talk tomorrow, depending on what the weather looks like.
