But what I did do today was meet with Lee Brownson who runs acoustic night live at the White Heart in Cinderford. A great little venue and great sessions, always packed out when I have been there. Check them out at www.myspace.com/acousticnightlive. They have got thier own PA kit now, having started out borrowing stuff from Music Makers.
Lee also manages evening and weekend use for rehearsals, recording, parties etc. and Cinderford SoundSpace. www.fdmm.org.uk & www.myspace.com/cinderfordsoundspace This is part of Forest of Dean Music Makers, which I manage. We have kept really modest rates for for rehearsals (50p per head per hour for under 18s, £1 per hour, per head for under 21s, and there is plenty of spaces available.
We talked about future collaboration with GMF of gigs in collaboration with schools, youth acoustic nights and various other things.
