fizzbomb Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 - i wrote to dreadzone a while ago to see where and when they were playing next - and i asked if they would ever come to a tiny festival in the isle of man - and guess what!!! they said they would - they're always up for going to new places... can anyone help me organise a festival - or get them to play at the villa?

Rich Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thing is anyone will play anywhere for a price, but it's getting enough people to attend, to cover the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say it's be a tiny festival - (i was thinkin along the lines of CHaz-fest???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Don't get me wrong I wasn't being negative about it, any groups that can come over would be fantastic but what I meant was generally any group you ask if they'd play the Isle of Man would say yes because it makes no odds to them so long as they're paid, and it's nice for them to have somewhere different to play to. Biggest problem is that what ever happens the promotor still has to pay the group for the gig, so therefore the promotor would need some kind of reassurance that they would get at least enough to cover the costs.

fizzbomb Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Ah - i think they're pretty cool - they wouldn't want to get "paid" as such, so long as their fare and somehere to stay was sorted... and most importantly... as long as they knew that everyone had a brilliant time - i think they would be very happy.

Static Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Getting Dreadzone over here would be excellent.Saw them last year (for the first time in 9 years) at the Wickerman - still a stonking live band. The Villa would be good for them but not sure if you could sell enough tickets or how many you would have to sell to cover the costs of the venue, PA, lights, band transport/costs, etc. You could try Lenny from Triskel (management@triskelpromo.com) for advice on putting them on at the Villa. Would be good there Friday night (paying gig) and then Chasfest for free on the Saturday (wishfull thinking!!). He would be good for advice on costs, etc. On a smaller scale the guys at Ballagroove have brought bands over here so know what the costs would be for smaller venues (info@ballagroove.com). Good luck mate, would be good to have such a decent band over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mo beats experience Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 That'd be awesome, great band. You say you've seen them recently? That mean you like their new stuff then? If so, tune in to the Beatfix Show, we play all sorts of stuff along the same lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
