Jon. I will put the feelers out for another good venue.
Is there a particular 'ideal' size venue that you prefer.?
There are some great pubs in Norwich which cater for live bands, and also some purpose built venues.
Are you happy if i ask around over the next couple of weeks to see if the venues are interested, or would you rather me just compile a list of a few places for you & Alan to investigate.?
It would be GREAT if you could play in Norfolk again.

Cheers   BBB

Thanks BBB.  A list would be great, then we can take care of all the communication with the venues ourselves.  Anything that gets a decent crowd in for live bands might be of interest.  Decent size pubs or theatres that have tribute style acts would probably be best.  Appreciate your help.  It would be good to get to Norfolk again, although it's a bit of a trek for us...

Last summer Eastbourne bandstand had a series of Tribute bands each w/e for about 6 weeks or so. They were v well attended and v good I'm told, though I didn't catch any. Some bands did a couple of nights, some only one. I think there is a good chance they might run again this summer. Google Eastbourne Tourism or Eastbourne Borough Council, where I would imagine there may be contact info.

Thanks

We'll check that out.

A couple of gigs on the horizon - will post details in this section when confirmed.

On April 4th, i'm going to see a Clapton tribute band, called 'Classic Clapton', performed by After Midnight.

A tribute band who have been together for over 20yrs.
On their website    www.classic-clapton.com        there are some pics.
One of which shows the main person who plays Eric Clapton, standing next to MK in 1989.
So he's obviously a fan.

Anyway. The venue is in Norwich, at a place called 'Maddermarket Theatre'
I have never been before, but when i booked the tix, i asked about how many people it holds.
It holds just over 300, and other acts to perform in the next few months are a Pink Floyd, and a Queen tribute band.
I will report back after the gig with general details of venue etc.........

Maddermarket Box Office No..  01603 620917

A possible venue for DF.?

I will keep you posted with any other possible venues.

Cheers   BBB

[Jon]

Excellent.  Thanks very much BBB.

Nigel I see I am a bit late with my comment, BUT I hope you had a wonderful time listening to the Clapton tribute Band.
