WHAT'S HAPPENING?

To be a Lankykat is to love rock 'n roll in all its shapes and sizes. We're aiming to play as often as once week in an ambient setting which is intimately comfortable, warm and welcoming to suit both the musicians and audience alike. In addition, the venue must have good transport links close to the M6.. so we chose the M6 junction 27 - Standish - so you'll find the Standish Unity Club decidedly friendly and ideal for the Lankykats musical cause.


The stage has a backline of bass and lead amplifiers, a basic drum kit and up to four microphones, so there'll be no need to bring your own gear - just your own guitar or a snare drum and a pair of sticks will do. Sound will be controlled for you - so you can relax and get on with the business of playing some good rock 'n roll for your appreciative audience.

Both individual players and full bands are more than welcome to play. On arrival an entrance fee of £1 will be due by all - including the musicians - then just ask and say you want to play, if not, just find a seat and get yourself a drink at the bar - then just settle in for some lively action.

If you're playing, you'll then be given some advisory guidance and then an agreed time slot. You must be on time for your set and smart off the mark too, by plugging-in within the bands change-over time of ten minutes - and away you go. You'll have around thirty minutes maximum playing time so at the end of your set you'll be called and given one more song to play.

You could incidently, find yourself playing twice or more on the same night - that's if you want to! We at lankykats encourage 'scratch' bands of 'unattached' muso's and jamming is highly desirable too - particularly at the end of the night.

We are now looking forward to playing and having many fab night's out which will be coming up on most Thursday evenings commencing soon. Please look-out carefully for the Lankykats meetings dates - and come along and be well prepared for some long-lasting rock 'n roll fun at Lankykats.. See you there..
