The mind boggles if it's anything like the name petrat chose for Bob & Lady Bobbington's offspring!!!


< goes to rummage in cupboard for thinking cap as a matter of urgency ... >

Have now heard some of the recordings - very fine recordings they are too.

Cool

I'm still lacking inspiration for a name for the group

THE PARSNIP PLAYERS! Why didn't I think of that the first time? Brilliant!!!!!

I have now had two suggestions for the title:

A Breath of Rhythm, Song and More.....

and

Forumites Go Large


And two not dissimilar suggestions for the name:

Forumite Friends

and

Forumites

(oh, yes, and The Parsnip Players - thanks Petrat)

Any other suggestions, please?

Thanks to Skylark, Suepea and Petrat for the names and titles so far.

Additional group names suggestions:

The Pleasure Players

The Music Makers

Musical Friends


Any others out there??

PS - the person who suggested "The ABRSM Forum Users' Ad-Hoc Musical Ensemble" is thanked, but politely advised that there won't be enough space on the label for that lot....

I actually quite like 'The Parsnip Players' - although to make it valid CE and his various offspring should really have been there

For the CD, how about something like 'A Breath of Fresh Air' - since they were all new pieces and most of the instruments were wind ones (*hides from the string players* - though you need air for the strings to sound, I think - my knowledge of physics is very shaky )

Well, I like Forumites Go Large.

I think that's cracking too!

I like that one too suitably crazy sounding...

Also like Jo's "A Breath Of Fresh Air" for the CD title

Have now heard all of the recordings and given the sample CD back to katyjay - I am very pleased with how the various pieces have turned out. This is promising to be a really good CD!

Can't wait until I can get a copy

All being well, it shouldn't be long now Nicki.

Hi all, sounding good. I'll have two copies when it's ready please.

I am going to buy lots to give as Christmas presents, especially if it has Forumites Go Large on the cover!

Folks, just to keep you updated on progress:

I'm meeting the engineer today to discuss the final draft disc and the appearance of the production copies.

Once I'm happy with both, he'll do the production run. Then I will have the discs available to distribute - the already paid-for copies for the performers and copies to sell to anyone else that wants one.

I will let everyone know when that's the case - I'm hoping I'll have them for Leeds, but can't promise that.

Cheers

Katyjay

Would it be feasible to post one to me when they're done? (I could pay a bit extra if needs me)

Thanks for all your hard work.

Oooh I'm excited!

Thanks for all your hard work, katyjay!

THE CD IS READY!!!!

Click here to get your copy.

Cheers

Katyjay

*woohoo*, it's "A Breath of Fresh Air"!

Amazing response already!

I now have precisely 18 discs left (after reserving the performers' copies)

EDIT: Now 16.....

Woooo! *excited*

Fantastic! I think I've just paid through Paypal - I've tried anyway.

Can't wait to hear it! Are you bringing the CDs to Leeds KJ?

Yes, I will bring the CDs to Leeds - both the pre-paid ones and any I've got left to sell.

Not that there'll be many left at this rate - 15 as of now and going fast....

Could you bring one for me next Tuesday, please, katyjay?

Cheers,

Cyrilla

I've had a listen to the finished product, and can say that it's really good, and comes highly recommended!

Thank you to everyone, performers, composers and our sound engineer for the hard work and support you've all given us in this venture : I think we can consider it a huge success!

Yes of course Cyrilla

14 left....

13 now (I hope) - I'll have one, I'll stick a cheque in the post (if I can find the cheque book, I have not written one for years.)

John

Money just paid for mine - they're going fast


John

Twelve left now...

Selling through very nicely!

Received my copy this morning, thanks KJ! By the sounds of it, my composition was quite a bit harder to play than the rest. Good job though everyone!

Got them! Thanks, katyjay!

Mine arrived today - Thanks, Katyjay!
