Anyone else performing?

[BinThereDrummedThat]

sorry i thought i'd use the same topic title!

This time though I'm not a mystery sungubala - im a real person with a real name who is playing at Glastonbury this year!

I lead a band called "Bin There Drummed That" (hence my username) and we are playing at glastonbury this year! We use wheelie bins and other forms of junk percussion to create songs and a performance.

The band was originally set up by a local charity to give youths in the local area something to do in the evenings, but since then its grown from strength to strength and we've now got the opportunity to perform at Glastonbury which is very exciting! I'm bringing a band of 12 with me to play 6 slots in total over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the theatre and circus fields, whereever they are. I'm a glastonbury newbie - noone in the band has ever been before so it will definately be an interesting experience - playing at our first glastonbury!

So if you want to see something a little bit (or quite alot) different this year at glastonbury come down to one of Bin There Drummed That's performances! (times and locations tbc)

if you have any questions about the band, or anything else please feel free to ask! I'm sure ill have a tonne of questions about glastonbury over the next couple of months!

one final thing...its possible that there might be one space in the band which may be given out through a competition. if anyones interested in playing at glastonbury (including free entry, free backstage access, free food, and transport to the festival) keep you eyes peeled here!

Awesome idea.

Your music on myspace is very interesting.

I hope it goes well for you and I might well come down and see you play, depending on clashes etc.

Oh please ignore that MySpace! Is there a recording on there? That's not good at all...it was as we were putting together the songs at the first rehersal someone decided to record us. For some reason we have a MySpace, but none of the recordings on there represent us at all! Please ignore them!

Edit: i really need to sort that out!

Cheers, it is good fun we all enjoy doing it. were all 17 or 18 years old so its not the ideal time to put a band together (with many many exams!) but its good fun all the same which is why we do it!

This sounds like the perfect sought of thing to turn out for. Nice and random.

III - I'll look at them, they sound a similar sort of thing though. The idea behind the band was got from Stomp but we've tried to distance ourselves from them - we're not really that similar any more!

Fraz - It is the perfect sort of thing at a festival, it makes a helluva noise and people wander past thinking "what the...?" then stop to watch (and hopefully enjoy it!)

Thanks for the heads up! The theatre and circus fields are my favourite area of the site so I'll almost definitely check you guys out.

Reckon you'll be on the Blazing Saddles stage, they've had that sort of thing before and it's big enough for all of you.

Not exactly performing but I will be co-compering two 'Get Up Stand Up' shows featuring comedy, music and politics. Saturday on Blazing Saddle stage and Sunday in the Cabaret Tent.
