    I'd like to come to this, if there is room for another guitarist without vocals.  I would really like to see Real World Studios but I understand the lugging drums around issue, so either of the Bristol venues would be fine.

    @Brocco and @ all
     
    Firebird got back, they have a 6x6m room called the engine room where they can fit chairs for people. It would be ~£170 for the day including PA and drum shells

    Here's the big room at Firebird

    The band who were in there said the sound isn't great

    They have an outdoor seating bit with lots of plants and a cafe/bar area with snacks. It's really nice to be honest

    We got a great sound in one of the little rooms for our three piece. We've booked in again for next week

    That room looks very “live” apart from the small rug there doesn’t appear to be any sound treatment !
    Karma......

    That looks quite a bit smaller than the one at Factory.  We'd probably need another room (or two) as a breakout room.

    Its unlikely we are going to find any where better than Firebird at this stage. We could hold out and try and book factory on the 1st September  but 'no guarantee that the 1st October will be available.   
    Firebird may not be ideal but its a pretty good second choice and meets most of our needs. There's likely to be around 12 of us with 5 or 6 playing at anyone time so I don't see the size a major issue.With regards to sound Factory was ok but the PA was pretty shite. Its not like we are rehearsing for a world tour  =)

    We also need to sort out a set list , who's playing what etc. Which as we know can take a while.....

     I'm happy to hold out for Factory as the bigger room was nice but IMO I think we should book Firebird so we can get on with sorting everything else out.

    I did like it there. The facilities are good. We might just have to be smart about amp placement and careful with volume levels. I could ask about some chairs for the room

    As we have an agreed date and a venue is close to being secured thought we could start the tracklist discussion (suggest we each nominate 2 songs each initially)
    Anyone up for learning Move Over (Joplin/Slade) or Breathe and Attack (Goodbye June)?

    As we're such a talented bunch I think we might as well make it 3 or 4 suggestions each. We rattled through them pretty quickly last time. More likely because we did our home work rather than raw talent though.  =)

    Christ Noddy Holder had some lungs. I'm up for learning that @Brocco, guitar/bass and/or vocals whichever is needed

    Looks really nice! A few people in there will dampen the sound down a bit too...maybe!
