hey, does anyone of any rehearsal space in thurso for bands to practice?
You may have to pay, but theres a few wild suggestions, some of which may not have been looked into.
Don't the BBs and Guides rent ?
Scrabster hall ?
Castletown Drill Hall ?
Ormlie Community Association ?
Pentland firth yacht Club used to let a band practice in their clubhouse ?
The big showroom behind Richards Garage where they had a play on ?
Icetec were renting parts of the Norfrost factory. What about a sponsored room there ?
Thurso College ?
The old tea shop next to Stepping Stones at the riverside ?
E&M,s old workshop/ office next to that ? Willie Reid is a veteran drummer !
the_big_mac did have a post up a while ago researching this very thing.
Not sure if he got enough feed back to run with it tho.

we used castletown drill hall a couple of years ago.
it was the small hall off the side we used.
worth a try log.
A while ago I'd have said finding musicians is a problem, but I can actually think of a rather good bass player and drummer who ain't playing in bands just now. In fact, I can think of two great drummers and bass players that aren't in bands.
It's finding the right people for your band though.
Finding rehearsal space, in some shape or form, isn't difficult. Just gotta ask around and chance your hand. Don't ask/don't get!
Thurso could do with a new original band or two. It's a bit disappointing that there's only a couple of young(ish... we're getting older!) rock bands in the town that play their own songs and get out and do it. I'd like to think there's more, but I don't think there is.
Wick have a couple of young rock bands. If you'd have said that to me 2 years ago, I'd have laughed in your face. Clearly MLM is doing somethng right for their young budding musicians. Rehearsal space and encouragement to play/record/socialise with other musicians.
In fact, just thought of another drummer.
Can't think of many guitar players actually. Weird, it was never like that in school!
we shall find somewhere!!!!
