best place to get a decent power amp is in maplan(good prices too cuz they aint a ripoff music store)...you'l need a mixer though...but theres my 2 cents.

Can't beat the Behringer UB range for cheap mixing desks with up to 10 mic channels these days: they won't get you girls, but they'll get the job done.

I have an absolutely rubbish 12:2 MTR desk from the late 70s/early 80s which I can never see myself using again (I think 2 channels on it need attention) - it is free if anyone wants to grab it the next time a band is playing up here and has transport to shift it. Not pleasent to use by any stretch of the imagination, but generally useable until you get something better sorted.

This idea crops up every now and again. It's still just as valid as before. Look forward to see how it pans out. I'd be on for helping out

 

[bohs punks]

My current thinking on this is that in addition to benefits etc we could offer 12 season tickets for gigs where people are using the p.a.


ie

12 people who can afford it e.g. people who are working put in 50 quid each = 600 euro
this plus a couple of benefit events = PA system

In return these people get a seaon ticket giving them entry to ten gigs
(5 euro x 10) thus covering their money - it doesnt actually cost them anything.

the "price" for using the pa is that these 12 people are allowed come and get in by having their season ticket stamped til they have been to ten.

For the organisers this could mean 12 people who are at your gig without paying BUT you dont have to hand over door money to a pa company and even if they all turn up on your night this still is less than what you pay for pa if you rent it rather than use the free one, (they are unlikely to all be there on any given night).

After a few months they will have used up there 10 gigs and will be paying again and we will have a pa for the future.

All this of course depends on bohs and storage / insurance.

Any potential takers?

I'll put my name in as no. one.

i could have a look and see what the problem is and possibly fix it if you ever get it down here. the circuitry for those things is pretty straight forward.(im a college nerd!).|..|

Yeah, Belfast - the Athens of the North - where else would I chose to live?

Sounds like a done deal to me. I warn you though, it isn't a pleasent beast to work with, but it might do for a start, until you get something a bit fancier to take its place.

Its situated just next to Katy Daly's, which is just next to the Limelight on Ormeau Avenue, off Bedford Street, about 5 minutes from the City Hall - does that help at all?

Here's the prehistoric P.O.S I'm talking about by the way -
