Who were the ringleaders of the big forum beery jam night/charity bash a year or two back?

McToot

I remember that there was a charity bash/jam night a while back somewhere in the Midlands or SW (?) and that it was both well attended and, by all accounts, a lot of fun.  Can anyone remember who the movers and shakers were?

I've been pondering ganging together with some of the SE-based 'faces' to try and put something together down this way: room/hall with stage and bar, some food and a full rig so that we can go beyond just ogling each other's gear.  I know it would be much more complicated than our simple gearfests, but we have a lot of forumites down here (had to limit places to the last gearfest) so I'm sure it could work. 

A charity angle would give an additional dimension...

I'm after organisational tips and learnings from similar events in 't past, so I can avoid making mistakes that have happened before... PM me or post here. Fanks.

Wasn't it the forummer formerly known as Beagle?

Now found here.

Manic did one up near Manchester too

Beagle being involved certainly rings bells.  Have either made it across the border into the Peoples' Republic of the Fretboard?

That's worthy of a facepalm...read the post above again...

bertie

we've done loads down here,  but they're very choosy about who gets to go.

Which is why Im not invited any more

Ah, feck. This thread's reminded me that we lost the photo thread from BeagleFest...including the most amusing "I wasn't flirting, honest guv!" from @IanSavage followed by photographic evidence.

Sorry - I have my holiday brain on today.  Perhaps you'd like to explain? 

mike_l

@Mctoot, Ian_savage was Beagle at the place of which we do not speak

@mctoot

I was refering to the "have either made it across the border....?" bit. TTony provided a link to Ian/Beagles profile in his post.

Maybe only worth half a facepalm as Manic wasn't linked...(but he has posted on here)

McToot

@Mike_l , Ah I see.  I wasn't aware that I was supposed to know everyone's identities past and present. 

not_the_dj

I feel bad now as you're on -1 @mctoot so have a LOL

mike_l

@McToot I wasn't having a pop at you, and hope I didn't come across that way.

"Now found here" is a link

Just because you've got a job and don't have to rely on your wits anymore ...

@Timmyo has organised a few epic sessions, including the last official GASFest

Yes I feel that there should be mention of the sadly missed Rockbabe at this point. Organizer of the 1st few Gasfests.

Oh, I totally forgot about that yeah, I did a few 'fests in Walsall over the years, wouldn't be adverse to doing another one in Birmingham if anyone fancied it - feel free to tap me up for 'advice' toot!
