All profits will go to charity after overheads have been paid, this will include a small basic payment for the big band musicians for their time. The emphasis however is on the social experience and enjoying playing in a big band whilst giving to those who are needy. The project will be based in Newbridge Co. Kildare which is easily accessible by road, rail and bus. If you are interested in giving your time in a worthwhile way please reply!

Might be interested but need more info really. When is it on? What charity is involved? Where is the venue? How long will the gig be? Will there be amps supplied for the guitarist? Is it going to be black tie? Can I get hold of the chord charts a decent time before the event?

It sounds like a great time but I'm going to be abroad a bit soon so I can't say 100% if I'd be available.

I presume it's going to be Rat Pack type stuff.

This should really just have been posted in Bands/Musicians and I was going to move it there but I see you have a thread there already.

So I'm locking this so people can still see it and can get to the relevant thread through this link.

Good luck in your endevours.
