UL gig (12 Mar 2009)
Gentlemen,
The date we’ve been asked to play at UL is Thursday 12 March 1.15pm to 2pm.
I know it’s a good bit away but can you confirm if this date is ok with you as I need to let them know asap.
This gig will be part of the ‘Of Our Times / Comhaimseartha’ lunchtime concerts held during the spring semester.
I enquired about getting this gig around the time the four of us did the Niall Mellon gig, I enjoyed that gig and the rehearsals etc and thought it would be fun to do a lunchtime gig here at the Performing Arts Centre, which is a great venue. I specifically “pitched” us as four active individual songwriters (not the Last Friday on tour!) in the Lough Derg region who play together from time to time. From their perspective, this is appealing as they are looking for an original song type of gig and they are also interested in the fact that we would perform together as a group, as they feel this would offer a lot of variety. So we would have to play mainly originals, I would suggest two originals each and maybe finish with a cover, but we could talk about this.
The first step at this stage is to broadly confirm the date, so if you can let me know asap, great.
They will probably need additional info for the brochure etc but I will let you know about that in due course, we could plug the Last Friday and SAMS here.
Talk to you soon,
Nigel.
First rehearsal for UL gig
17:30hrs, Sunday 11 Jan 2009 at Steve’s house
I’ll be indulging myself with the Man Utd v Chelsea match nice and close at O’Donovan’s – it’s actually a 4pm kickoff so it’ll be nearer 18:00hrs that I’ll be arrivin’.
