    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: 10,580 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.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    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: 2,159 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: 2,159 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: 10,580 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: 10,580 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: 2,159 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: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Anyone up for a thursday gathering?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,159 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


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

    Thursday works for me.

    Anyone else?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 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: 10,580 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: 2,159 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


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


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 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: 10,580 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: 2,159 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: 10,580 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: 10,580 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.

    Good man for taking the leap Beeb. PM sent. Address is a bit up in air as I'm between apartments at the moment so it's looking like around beaumont for 7ish.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Partly Arvo


    This sounds like a good idea; is it a functioning one?


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


    It functions intermittently - keep checking this thread to find out when the next one is taking place - everbody is welcome.

    And on that note - When we scheduling the next one Humberklog??

    Anyone up for this weekend? Sunday evening?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Partly Arvo



    I like your tracks, very cool.

    One of mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjhgDo1REM

    Recorded on a laptop with only the in-built speakers so the sound isn't great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon


    sunday night cool for me

  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Sunday's good here too.


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


    Well, let's say Sunday then. You up for coming Partly Arvo?? That video and song are great, would love to have you there.

    Humber - is your place still an option? You said you were moving, just wanted to double-check it was okay with you.

    Also, it might be worthwhile doing a PM to people who have expressed interest before - it'd be good to get the numbers up.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Good point about my place. It's a bit up in air still. At moment I can do however if someone else wanted to accommodate it this time around I'd welcome that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Partly Arvo


    I'm in if there's a venue. Is bringing wine/beer allowed?


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


    Wine/beer/hard narcotics are all allowed.

    No banana sandwiches though.

    hard narcotics are all allowed

    Do you accept Lazer cards? :)


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    My place is looking dodgy for sunday so if anyone else could do this one it would be most helpful
    Or mine is good for Monday Tuesday or Wednesday


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Partly Arvo


    Can do Sunday day at mine. My neighbours are mongs and get offended if I burp at night though.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    I'm having a 'mare with builders at the moment. So a change of location for the next week or so would be good.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    BUMPING UP THE JAM.
    Songroom is assembling on wednesday night. So far its me and Jack Dev and hoping Oink may see this and come along. If you're reading this and don't know what it is it is very, very simple. If you are intereted in song creation as a creative process then you are welcome. Wether you play an instrument, write lyrics or just like to see new music being wheeled out for the first time then drop along. PM me and I'll pm details.
    This is an interim venue and isn't as big as previous venue but could accomodate up to 5. There will be spare guitars (so anyone interested in picking up instrument for 1st time this is the perfect place to get acquainted), there will be a clarinet, a tuba and maybe a keyboard too. It is held in a private residence.
    You can do what you like: have people join in, play by yourself, listen in, drink, smoke. Only thing required is an open mind.
    So it's happening this wednesday evening and will be located around the Leonard's corner area of Dublin. Show an interest on this thread and more info wil follow.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,159 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    I'm in! Looking forward to hearing your new songs.
    Anybody else out there wants to jump in?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon


    im up for it too

    any flamenco players there?????
    need 1


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Good man Hennisjon. I'll pm on phone no. etc.

    I reckon oink could pull a bit of flaminco from the sleeve.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    7-7.3o good time for everyone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭henessjon
