The SoundBoard Acoustic Club

AcousticJunkie

The first evening of entertainment hosted by the SoundBoard Acoustic Club will be on 22 February in the Irene Village Hall in Centurion from 8:00. Come along and support the evening...... The intention is to set up a regular evening and hopefully an open mic night for those of us in the PTA area. No entrance fee will be charged for this first session....... Please bring along your drinks? Look forward to seeing you there..... .

How many sets on this auspicious first evening?
And how would we find the village hall?
Street adress would help those of us who dont know the area.
The devil is in the details
?
just dont let him play.

There will be four 30min sets............. The venue is on the corner of Pioneer and Main in Irene. Enter the Village from Alexandra Road into King street...... left into Pioneer and go to the end of Pioneer. The hall is on the right.

A bit far for me, but I wish you luck with it.

Offices are not too far away from there so if I'm at the office that day then I'm a bok. And mentioned to a couple of colleagues and they also sound keen. We'll see.

Thanks AJ.
I'm not too far so i'll swing by, good on you for starting something in your own neck of the woods.
Lets see if we cant get some formites out there too support it.

? Come on Bob, how do you expect us Pretorians to support you guys at TJ's?

This looks very interesting. It's unlikely that I'd be able to make it but I'm certainly going to try to wangle my things around so I can. Either way, best of luck.

After a few weeks of excited anticipation, last night witnessed our first evening of the SoundBoard Acoustic club. A great evening was had by all... The small but enthusiastic crowd was treated to some incredible local talent supported by a few GFSA members. The general view from both artists and visitors was that the event was great and should be repeated - frequently.

I will take that as a vote of confidence and will start preparing for Edition 2 in March....... watch this space.... Thanks to everyone who attended.

Travelling on the R21 north to Pretoria, Irene is around 10-15 km after the airport. (never actually measured it, so that’s more a guess than anything else)

Super! I'm really glad you had a good time and may this event go from strength to strength.

Here from our valley you would probably rather take the N1. Irene is Centurion for all intents and purposes, I'd say roughly 40km from us. Maybe we should share transport and rock up together at the next one. I'm just hoping it will be on the right Wednesday as I have a standing appointment for every other Wednesday.
