Hello all, I live the Isle of Man where we have a marvellous music scene and I am in several bands. But I am now in a long term relationship with a sheffield gal and I am considering moving to your neck of the woods to be with her.
I just wondered what the local music scene was like and how easy it would be to get involved in a band over there and get a band started there.
If anyone has any information or any links to websites dedicated to the local music scene where I can get in touch with other musicians and **** about getting a band together.
Cheers:thumbsup:

Check some of these out.... all have myspace sites - do a search on the names below... www.myspace.com
Nuggie and the Lawbreakers
The Irritants (currently looking for a bassist)
Zombie Nights
Not The Musaq
BabyPinkStar
May be worth you getting intouch with a few local venues, such as
The Boardwalk (there are a number of live acts on tonight if you are in the area - doors 7.30pm)
Hope this helps.

You'll find a bunch of nice sheffield music types at www.L2SB.co.uk and another bunch of nice sheffield music types at www.soundaloud.com (soundaloud is a bit more rock/metal)
It's dead easy to put a band together round here as long as you can cope with having a drummer who plays in 97 other bands.

Good god so it's it's not just here in the IOM where drummers are hard to come by. I personally am in three bands but that's just cos I'm greedy and the drummer in one of them is in god knows how many bands.

:confused: makes me wonder if you go on the site! its indie biased... 80% indie 20% rock id say..but i suppose its sign of the times.
