Cheers guys, I'll get the other bands myspaces up when I find them.

And thanks to whoever fixed this thread for me

Whose decision was it to charge entry for this - yours or the bar's?

As far as I know it didn't - The Halt's current policy is free entry to all gigs.

There is. And it's free.

Maybe in the past but the current policy is all gigs are free. Unless something's changed very recently I don't believe they charge bands anything to play.

Dave, the current manager, is very keen to get the music side of things up and running on a regular basis and as recently as Tuesday had said that all gigs are still free. If that's changed since then or I've misunderstood then just ignore everything I've said.

I'll confirm this next time I'm in.

I'm not organising it doll, my mate Campbell who works in the catty and is in one of the other bands is the one doing all the organising, I'm just taking orders

Cool - didn't mean to sound like I was having a go or anything, just that Dave's putting a lot of time and effort into revatilsing the place and probably wouldn't want people getting the wrong impression re: their live music policy.

£2.50's not much to pay for 3 bands but on the other hand some people may be put off by having to pay in if they don't want to see any bands and are only interested in the pub side of things.

Didnt take it as a dig at all!

I'm not too clear on what exactly is happening, so if you do find out I've got it wrong, please let me know.

I was indeed referring to what I knew of the olden days of The Halt and not the current set up. Good stuff to hear better though.

And I too was a wee bitty confused by the gig being cheap but Kev being free! See how that one turns out.

I will indeed keep you all posted and as soon as I can afford a pint (damned 29th day of the month) I'll speak to Dave and clarify things - he may even post here himself (he's DaveP from the "Kev" thread).

DaveP · 29th February 2008, 7:11pm

Indeed here i am

To answer some of the questions and to set aside any confusion

Gig's at The Halt are indeed free, Completely Free.

We no longer have the limiter in the bar. (For anyone interested that was because of a dispute with someone who used to live next door) she broke first and moved out. Bang!

Kev is completely free and is on every tuesday for some before rev banter

I Spoke to the promoter Campbell today and it was nothing more than crossed wires, and i'm sure everybody is looking forward to the gig, including myself.

Dave

Hope he gets fired for promoting gigs in competition with CPL.

The Halts actually a good venue to play in, I thought it was going to be shite, but after playing there its pretty sweet. And the bar is easy to climb on top of as well.

Rach is not near a computer but as the amended title now says, the gig is now free entry for all

Bunnylingus · 1st March 2008, 10:48pm

Rach is just too easily confused.

So, aye, FREEEE.
