i'm looking for music, specifically a band for DMT for May. and i'm finding some really great bands - but they're all from places I have no links to - and i don't know the viability of getting them to manchester - currently.
May is meant to be a local affair anyway - we've not done that yet and it'd be an idea... for a whole lot of reasons.
There's a lot going on in Birmingham, so it seems... a nice little mini scene with some folks getting heard about anyways.. if you want to find out about it start here:

i really do like that lot! and follow through the links. It's stuff I wish was going on somewhere I could get to it! This is, perhaps, a constant thing in the modern era - and partly why I ended up running a club in Manchester in the first place. But I think in particular it's a constant thing for people like me. The UK is small - really we can get around and share relatively easily... but getting bands to play and not taking the piss financially, or for building regular connections and helping each other location can still be king. Not everyone is willing to play effectively for travel costs or journey cross country every month, or even every other month. Then again, not everyone is seemingly willing to come out to something that often, even when they live down the road and have confessed a whole unnecessary bundle of love and support for you. So it goes.... :)
