Just had a virtual tour around the streets and a few have marked parking places, cant imagine that area of the city will be busy on a Wednesday night so should be ok to find somewhere :-)

how did I know you were going to ask about parking
I never park in town, so my knowledge is pretty much non-existent
however there is some on-street parking, just not on any of the streets adjacent to the actual venue

Yes and a few places on Lenton street and looking at the parking meters the pay times are up til 8:30 PM so I would only have to pay for just over an hour if I get there for about 7:15PM, which means leaving the house around 6PM cushty :-). If I do get held up and miss the start of Scented Poetry I will be able to walk in with the place full of aromatic aroma, a nice cup of Earl Grey and a homemade cupcake LOL :-)

Good little venue, nice tea and cake and a good turnout for a Wednesday night, with all ages and a few ladies too, it looks like the venue is already established for these quirky type nights so everyone just seemed to be into it from the off, I enjoyed it too:-) Shyte parking though, and they had closed the main road back past Ratcliffe power station so ended up on a 10 mile detour :-(
Nice first act ambient background music, with poetry read very aptly by the young chap who was adding various bells and bits of nice tonal tinkles and wafting scent via a fan and passing round fruit and stuff to smell, very unusual.
Nice looping guitarist on next did some pleasant ambient stuff, I think Andy B would have liked this:-)
Jez and buddy's on for an hour, nice stuff but got a bit loud at times for the size of the room which killed the sonic subtleties a bit but on the whole a good hour of music :-)

cheers Martyn, thanks for coming, sorry the sound wasn't perfect, but it's a weird little room, I'm happy 'cos nothing went wrong and I've got another one booked for next month

I got the impression from one of your guys I was talking to, that you and your pals were going to be playing every time and then having the two warm up acts varying at each one? What date is the next one booked for?

I don't know where they got that idea from, we/KDT won't be doing the next one, but I might as Modulator ESP, got to think about who does soon though as next one is 23rd April

I think maybe he was just trying to promote interest with me to be honest, as I had shown interest in the gear he had set up on the desk:-)

Well if your struggling to find someone I am still very much interested in trying a solo spot with my small rig, I don't think it would be too hard and I would find it a challenge to entertain those young forward thinking ex-graduate types that were in there ;-), especially while its still new and fresh.
I did recognize a few faces though, I have either seen them at Quad or Burton?

You're on my list, along with a fair few others Well Richard came to the last Awakenings with me and Scott has done a Quad so that might be it
