“Friday night at BASE STUDIOS in Stourbridge we film
bands and musicians who come down to play the OPEN MIC and we
make promotional videos for FREE. Just turn up at 7pm to play the OPEN MIC. Filming begins at 7pm.
There's always a crew there. The Bar opens at 7pm too and if you want more
people in your video then bring a crowd down with you (It makes your videos
look better)” - Nick

yer same ere dudes and dudette it wud b most excellent idea to have a big ska night somewhere wid us lot skankin the house out. much love, the better than a kick in the teeth lads
Yh, sounds good, thats what we'd like to be able to do, just havent got the time to write the material at the minit. Yhyh, ive heard of them, quality band. We're the same - get the money and spend it soon as poss haha, we cant wait to get proper stuff done again, went to a studio before called The Paddocks with some school funding, the place was awful, too much of an acoustic place, songs we got out of it were poor, wouldn't reccommend it at all!
