Friday 2nd July. Located in the grounds of Marnhull British Legion, this event features 2 bands. FireBird will play from about 8:30pm outside. This performance is in aid of Cancer Research.
Interestingly located in Sodom Lane (yes, really!), here’s a map
Stan’s Blues Jam 2 will be held at THE AVON CAUSEWAY on the LAST WEDNESDAY of the month
(starting on WEDNESDAY 28th JULY 2010)
Restaurant, Function Venue, very posh indeed.
A cathedral-like space that stands in testimony to its former use as home to the presses that once produces the Bournemouth Evening Echo, the art deco grade II listed building that is the Print Room proved to be the venue for one of the most enjoyable functions FireBird have done to date. Sure, it’s work but it’s no bad thing to enjoy a gig (professionally of course) and the members and guests of the organisation holding the event were some of the liveliest and friendliest we’ve entertained.
Sound.
With a tiled floor, hard walls (one a huge window) and a very very high ceiling, as one would expect the ambience of the room surpasses the best Lexicon reverb unit (although it’s not as programmable). Volume levels were minimal to start with and still the sound crashed and echoed around this cavernous space. Things improved mightily when the audience, as one, left the tables and came to dance, where they stayed!
As the name suggests, a live music pub (with good food too) in Lulworth Dorset.
A good venue for both band and audience, the bands play on a raised area just inside the door. You won’t need much volume here.
Masses of parking almost opposite, free after 7 or 8 in the evening.
Busy live music pub on Poole Quay.
The Spotted Cow consists of a main bar downstairs and a lesser-used bar/function room upstairs. Bands normally play downstairs in the window to the left of the entrance although they have been known to play at the other end.
The sound is very lively but when the pub fills up it improves with the addition of more volume. It’s a good venue for a band too, plenty of room and possible to see the whole pub, not just part of it.
