What's the story - money, equipment, band, huh?
Basically we're a small group of young budding musicians from West Sussex, England, UK either currently in full time education, employed or both. Either which way we have little to no money and the money we do have is tied up in other essential financial commitments. In order for us to practice/perform properly we are going to require a few basic pieces of equipment, i.e. mics, mixer and pa. All the general stuff that is required in a band.
We really want to make music together, not just for ourselves but for the enjoyment of others as well, after all that's what music is all about. Unfortunately without these few bare essentials we're stuck. We have the passion the talent and material just not all the tools to put it into motion.
So that's basically it, we require a small amount of capital in the region of £1000 in order to invest in some equipment and for the hiring of a local hall for practicing in. Or of course the donation of existing equipment, have you got an old mixing desk or pa that's just lying around collecting dust? Want to put it to good use.....?
We believe honesty is the best policy and that's what we've been, completely straight down the line. We're not poor nor are we rich, certainly our collective financial situation at the moment is not allowing this to happen.
If and when we do amass the required equipment, we will also let it out for free for others to use as well in the local area.

Q. Why should I give you anything, what do I get in return?
A. In short, nothing. Accept the knowledge that your money/donation has gone to what we believe a worthy cause, the creation of the worldwide language, music. If or when however we get the opportunity to release an E.P or album we promise to send you a free copy, how's that? Your name can also appear in lights on our contributors page if you wish.
Q. You've got a cheek, why not get proper jobs like everyone else?
A. As we said we're either in full time education or the money we're earning just won't cover the costs. Also we would like the equipment to be a collective asset enjoyed by everyone, if only one or two people end up carrying the costs it's hardly fair.
Q. Why not ask your parents?
A. Parents will be parents and of course seeing their siblings form a band is pretty low down in their list of priorities. Trust us it's not like we haven't tried asking.
Q. How will I know my money is going towards this and not something else?
A. You can ring us up to confirm we exist, meet us if you wish other than that you will just have to trust us. Also where possible we will put evidence of our purchases. Most of which will be made on EBay no doubt.
Q. What happens to the equipment if or when you eventually split up or loose interest?
A. We will either donate it to another needy group of musicians or sell the assets and give the profits to good causes.
