Starting a new thread, for a possible 2nd weekender, to help find venues, and an area, that suits the largest number of people.
Here is what I posted in the old thread.
Iāve got an event shelter which I use with a fire pit for exactly the same purpose. Come to that Iāve got a fire pit too I take with me in the van to VW shindigs.
Lets have a ābarn offā and see what the likely candidates are. Iāll firm up on a few at the weekend, pop them in here and we can compare and contrast to others. If tāNorth looks favorable Iāll pay a visit and see what can be done.
I had a great time at Lopwell and would be very keen to do something similar elsewhere. That said there is a chance of āblinkersā narrowing the potential of all kinds of āmeatings of the mindsā - Lopwell was great but what else could be fun? Hire a cinema, recording studio, curry house, wharehouse, pub, circus, boat, bunker, brothel or palace. Of course Lopwell was all under one roof but with a little planning anything is possible. If financial considerations are not for profit and there is no commercial angle thereās lots to try, lots to explore fun to be had, memories to make and of course pigs to be eaten.
I think thereās a lot of merit in the notion of trying to find a suitable recording studio. Iām guessing that one or two of us aside, not many people here have had the chance to play with a mixing desk, effects units and all that sort of thing. In the same way that we had the Intro to Classical pieces on here, a hands on intro to the building blocks of a mix I think could be very interesting.
Like this?
It is fairly remote, but there is a micro brewery, in the same industrial site.
They serve beer, and usually have a food van, or some small event catering, available.
They are open, only from 16:00 to 22:00, on Fridays.
A half day studio hire is Ā£200. We could take studio hire, for Friday afternoon, then enjoy the micro brewery.
They try to have live music available, as well.
I have a friend who is a recording engineer with a converted chapel as a studio. Iām sure heād be willing to show people how it works. Probably in return for a few pints!
