Topic: chordie stock uk maybe?

How many UK Chordians would be up for Chordie stock UK if it became a reality.
As I will be in the UK for some time in the new year I thought maybe it would be a good idea if members can register their interest  then we can see if it will be worthwhile organising.
Perhaps a midlands venue would be the best place central for every one.

Re: chordie stock uk maybe?

So basically   we need  to  get  this  ball rolling .As I  am in Crete  until the beginning  of 2015 somebody  in the  UK  needs  to  source  a  venue.
Volunteers  please.
Many  of  the  hotel chains  like premier inn ,holiday inn travel lodge, best western etc will  have  a  function room available, probably  free if we  can guarantee booking  a  certain number  of  rooms,  Same  applies to  private  venues.
An  event  like  this  properly  organised  and  presented  will promote Chordie and be  a lot  of  fun too.

hi grah, i know one of our members owns a pub in llanelli, namely "the kilkenny cat". there is a tidy sized room at the back where concerts are held. we have discussed this in the past and i'm sure (if any interested parties) could travel to south wales, we would all have a great welcome at the cat.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: chordie stock uk maybe?

ok Phill that's started  the ball rolling  ,Option 1 south  wales. Does the  pub have  accommodation available too?

Re: chordie stock uk maybe?

I think s.Wales might be a bit far for me, but I will keep an eye on this thread & see what develops. I don't have any brilliant suggestions, though, unfortunately!
Whereabouts in the UK are you based, Grah?

Settle gate way to the Yorkshire dales Norm but my thoughts would perhaps favour the Midlands for easy access to the motorways

If the UK version is half as much fun as the Florida version, then you guys are in for a great time!

Re: chordie stock uk maybe?

What Zurf said!! I would however appreciate it if it were called something else - chordiefest perhaps? Chordiestock (TM) only occurs in Florida! smile

Seriously - I wish you luck in puling it together - I have been fortunate to meet several chordians over the years and every single time it has been a blast! I would love to attend an event on your side of the pond someday!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: chordie stock uk maybe?

No problem to a name change .Chordiefest Chordiejam  any others come to mind.
What views do we have about structure ,concert format where every one gets a slot of alocated time ,folk club format where we go round the group in turn and others join in or listen.Open mic format ,3 songs and your off.
Maybe a guest pro player if we can find one wiling

Re: chordie stock uk maybe?

I would vote for Chordiefest..... sounds more Continental, and somehow festive!  Brings to mind a party atmosphere, food, friends, music, laughter, warm ale and chilled cider.  Darn I wish I could attend!
