  1. Hi, I started a discord group a few days ago as a means for local musicians in the area to chat about our craft and general music related goings on. Got a handful of people who have joined so far and welcome more :). Here is the link: https://discord.gg/yjZ3Akx
  2. I work from home so I don't have any opportunities to create any social ties via work like most do so I have to be proactive if I want to. I generally am not that sociable however I certainly like a break from the isolation of working alone all the time; ie I have to force myself to socialise really but meeting for group activities I found good cos you can go to them and not feel committed and take things further if you want. I used to play badminton but I injured my knee and it still isn't right. I don't want to risk another injury so I am avoiding strenuous sports even though competitive games were great for the camaraderie etc; not worth the risk. What non sports (or light) activities could you suggest to meet people? Walking is a new hobby which fits the bill and saw there is quite a few of those groups but didn't try yet. I despise drinking culture and britian is so obsessed with it that it feels quite alienating such that you have to search under rocks to find others who would like to do things which don't involve gettin' 'wrecked'. I have tried looking on meetup but there isn't much on though certainly only made half hearted attempts and not been looking with any regularity. I can't really say what I would be into so open to suggestions. But evening type things classes or activities or whatever? I saw there are regular sessions for irish music at the grapes; haven't been yet but plan to but that isn't something to get involved in just yet. Eventually maybe but I am not good enough at my instrument to dare to try yet.
  3. I would say gabber is a guilty pleasure now days. Great for letting off steam. Happy hardcore is an old love but I think the latter would be even harder to find that the former nowdays . Just general underground dance genres hard trance, Dnb etc. The music type is the icing on the cake but, regardless of genre, I am currently most interested in just finding down to earth folks unlike the droves of soulless materialist cretins who flood west st and the centre every weekend.
  4. Thanks. Ah I have been to plot22 and it is great; some very tasty gabber nights on there over summer. Just the kind of grass roots vibe I was looking for but the events are few and far between so would be just the ticket if your other suggestions are on the same lines. I actually went to harley last night for first time and it was and was pleasantly surprised by the good atmos and local clientele. Bassline has really kept itself going here eh? I find it interesting since when I was in bristol you would only get the odd trickle down there on mixtapes but here there are whole nights devoted to it. Not my number 1 music type but interesting nonetheless. Even in manchester it didn't trickle across apart from the odd tune. Cool to learn about this home grown genre. I will look into those other ones. Maybe the other ones you mention just aren't advertised online or just not on the places I have looked and I wouldn't know about them otherwise since I am not connected.
  5. I have only lived here nearly 6 months but I gotta say there is almost 0 scene here in clubs at least and I refuse to go to free parties any more so not interested if that is going on. I have found the odd dos but they are so few and far between to be almost a quarterly affair. I am not blaming sheffield because the state of affairs was almost as bad in manchester. I am guessing it is no longer financially viable for club owners to hold these events so they have just died. I think rave music has become like the hippy movement (or grunge or whatever); it had its day and has now been absorbed into the homogenous mainstream with all its spirit sucked out of it. But there seems to be no underground music taking its place now. I can't understand how the whole population is just happy with mindless trendy bars or the castrated version of dance music that is passed off these days. Even other alternative music types are totally devoid of any rebellion now. Corporation being the answer to rock music???????? Noone seems dissatisfied with the state of affairs and are happy to just take whatever they are given so long as it is deemed 'hip' on their precious social media from which they take all their cues.
