Groove
Herewith further details of the Radio Ulster Xmas programme:
Sorry to bang on about Groove on FredandFreds all the time but it's the only way I know to put things up for Groove members which won't be seen on the public site.
Andrew Orchestra has been in contact with the Radio Ulster Producer who wants to put us on the airwaves and here are the details he has forwarded to me:
Date : Friday 16 December 2005
Venue: Studio 1, Broadcasting House
Soundcheck: 17.45 - 18.00
Concert: 19.30 - 22.00 LIVE on Radio Ulster!
Repertoire: 15 mins music total of which not too much Xmassy stuff
Basically the concert is a Christmas-flavoured version of their Friday evening classical music magazine programme, and will probably be presented by either Noel Thompson or John Toal. They would want us to do two slots, one in each half of the concert, with about 7 or 8 minutes music in each half, plus a bit of chat - Noel or John would interview each of the members etc.
We should meet ASAP to sort out programme and start rehearsing!

Incidentally I have just checked out with Alan Campbell to see if he is home - I think it would be lovely to have him along as a former member and guest bass. He says he would love to do it and will check the dates that he is home from uni. If he is available he wants us to mail him over the music so he can be note perfect!! Great news Alan we look forward to seing you.
