Blues face. Nyak.
By the way, sa minutes nga po pala.. eto ung mga napag-usapan. Please add to the list na lang ung mga di ko narinig if ever... naaliw din kasi ako sa PLUG eh.
- As for the goal of the org, it's building a blues community... aggregating people who're into the blues.
- As for the projects, we have:
a. a "blues summit", i.e. a series of gigs na mag e-expose ng blues.. although yun nga, ung concern ko po eh ung artist bill, if ever.
b. the "listening rooms", i.e. blues artists would talk about their influences through playing records and discussing how it influenced their style/playing/songwriting
c. getting sponsorships, which is very important.
d. and if possible, tieing up with the blues division ng fete de la musique para i-promote ung ating community.
alwyn - thanks for the "minutes"... Ba't nawala yung, "The Pinoy Blues Club meeting was called to order at 10:03pm at the table 1... " lol!
some minor additions lang:
Goal:
- Build and broaden blues community and support for blues acts, concerts, radio shows, and other activities
- Increase and heighten awareness of blues locally
Projects:
- Organize one blues gig ("blues night" for a start, and later possibly a bigger concert or series, eg, a summit or roadshow.
- Get sponsorship for blues concerts and activities
- Conduct "listening sessions"-cum-EB/meeting (possibly w/ unplugged jam at the end to illustrate or demonstrate what was presented). Listening sessions could talk about styles of regions (eg, Delta, Texas, Bentonia, etc.) or specific styles of artists
- Try to tie up with Fete de la Musique organizers to get Pinoy Blues Club as a key partner/co-organizer of Fete and have our club members' bands play on Fete. Our positioning is that we can tap a wide network of blues enthusiasts to come to the concert and also provide true blues acts
- Tie up with blues radio shows: Blues Hour of NU107 and Blues Sessions of 99Rock AM (DONE - I spoke w/ Bob Magoo na)
- Get more activity going on the pinoyblues.org website
Alquin - Ok kaya kung meron tayo separate area for postings of meeting minutes and post-project/activity reports sa website? This should go there.
