My Interests

We also run a recording studio www.myspace.com/oldschoolstudios www.oldschoolstudios.co.uk, and a tiny record label www.myspace.com/laprecords www.laprecords.co.uk.
We record ANOTHER weekly radio show called "BTR Live @ Old School Studios, UK" for Breakthru Radio, which goes out every Saturday, and each week features a great band playing a live 45-55min set in our recording studio in Bury St Edmunds.

I'd like to meet:

Local people (& bands!) who are GENUINELY enthusiastic and excited about music of all kinds, and who actively support the local music scene, and who aren't too cool to dance and clap when good bands are playing.
FYI: we don't book the following kinds of bands, so don't waste your time and ours by trying to add us, or hassling us for a gig (which happens every bloody day): Metal (any kind) Emo Screamo Hardcore Punk Pop Punk Classic Rock Covers Anything with "Funky" in the descriptionIt's just not at all what we're about. Good luck to all of you though. :o)

Music:

If it's local to Bury St Edmunds, and not cover versions, then we're interested in hearing it.
