Sorry just changed the title to wanted to get a bit more attention.


Hi,


Looking to have a party and would like to have either a live band playing 70's or 80's or

a DJ doing likewise with a bit of recent stuff thrown in for the young uns. If anyone has any

suggestions or recomendations locally I would be most grateful.


Cheers

I'll second Bare Groove for a bit of a boogie.


But would just ask the question, does it have to be one or the other? Nice to have a DJ spinning a few party favourites (like Bare Groove though I do, I can't imagine them doing Hit Me Baby One More Time - or have I missed something fairly spectactular..?) Or even set up a playlist on an ipod and have a live band (think you can set it so that they mix into each other rather than having a gap between songs, or have I imagined that?)

Hi, I am in Bare Groove so declaring that from the off.


As Rosie said, it doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other, we play music between sets, and let people choose the type of stuff they want.


However, not every event suits a band, and not every venue suits a band! If you'd like to discuss options with me, send me a Private Message on here, or email us via our website. No worries if not though, a band does tend to be a big thing, and not every party suits it.


Rosie, believe it or not, Baby one more time did use to be in our set, it was a reggae, rock, pop fusion like nothing you've ever heard before! ... It hasn't been in our set for over a year though, so not sure what that says about it.

      I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape

      GALA 2025

      I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another?
