Drinking for Holland have a slight problem for the Friday night party; we have no band!  I have been in touch with Malcolm -the manager to the Flying Baguettes- and was told that Fred -their drummer- can't make it this year to Le Mans. As a consequence the other guys of the band have decided not to perform this year, basically taking a break on the Friday night for the first time in a few years. I can fully understand and appreciate their decision, but -as you can understand- we have a slight problem now. I have been in contact with JPChenet over this, and he came up with some ideas. Team Zarse might be able to help out a little. We guess the nicest would be if we would have a few different people who could play during the night. That way everybody gets a break, and it would be interesting to see some differerent music styles go by. We're basically looking for Blues & Rock 'n Roll, but the majority of the Dutch never seem to mind to go a bit rougher and get some ear pounding too. So basically, we'd like to ask for your help; who would like to play guitar, bass guitar, sing or play drums? You will need to bring your own instrument, even though we might be able to give a little help with a basic drum kit. Malcolm is very helpfull by providing the basic PA set, however we could do with some personal amps if you could provide. A drummer seems quite important, as well as a singer. JPC probably already knows a few guitar players, even though I think you can never have enough of them (rythem+lead+bass). Please PM me if you're interested. Your help would be very much apreciated. Thanks from all of us at DfH, Paddy |

Thanks Andy. Hopefully a drummer will step forward - my real fear is there will be none, and so we have to work with a drum computer. Hopes are at a high now!  |

Paddy,
I know a pro band who could be up for this, - if they are, would you be able to fit them in on your patch?- getting tickets for MB is not easy now.

All is open for discussion. Even though I do believe all our tickets are taken by vehicles, we could still try to do something... ps. JPC would be the big winner with karaoke, of course!  |

Karaoke was already proposed on our forum, and some of our gang weren't all to much rejoicing it.... But as I'm the one who's arranging gear......  |

That just confirms what I knew already, the Dutch are a cultured nation with good taste.  Unlike the Japanese who invented it. |

At the risk of being shot by some people: I hated Karaoke ... but after living for 5 years in Asia I came away in love with it, goes perfectly together with loads of alcohol... |

Paddy, Your need for a drummer may be solved, have you spoken with Smokie? I think he is presently on a cruise in the Canaries but if I remember correctly he told me that he used to play drums as a kid and that he wants to get back into it. Problem could be that he`s a bit rusty and I think that he does not have his own drumset, then you wouldn`t need a drummer anymore just a drumset  .....on second thought, maybe karaoke would be easier on the ears |

Hi Paddy
He may not thank me for pointing this out, but my bro, Dave H is very accomplished on the skins.
However, by Friday night, he's usually off his tits, or hospitalised - or both...
