Beach gigs?

Postby surferdude_scarborough » Tue Dec 30, 2003 9:35 pm

Hey. How many of you guys would go to a gig on a beach with a band on rocks n you guys in the sea rocking with the fishes? Very low budget affair eg. play till its nearly too late n leg it when the tide comes in. It sounds like a lot of fun to me just wondering how many people would turn up.

hell yeh, i'd be up for that! ive always thought the one thing that could make surfing better is if you could listen to music while doing it... like skating, theres always music playing at the skatepark. as long as it was a decent band like :)

Beach party permission

Postby surf patrol » Thu Jan 08, 2004 3:18 am

In England you have to get permission for a beach party from the local council - you certainly had to where I lived. They have to inform the coastguard blah blah.
It was not a big deal - and did not cost any money.

its just hard to get the weather in britain, or we'd probably see more beach gigs and parties, if we could be sure it would be sunny, we'd all go out more :S

there are ways to get around it but that will take up loads of time and money to set up a stage and have a car or something generating the electrisity.

all too drastic for a bit of fun on the beach

Hey, I would be all for that. Out on Long Island New York we could get a permit for $20 and party all night, it's always fun to get a whole bunch of friends (mates) and enjoy the show.

played at my local beach a couple of weeks ago - surely that's got to be the ultimate beach gig?

Here's an interesting thing for all the UK surfers out there:

fatface.com/fatfacesite/pages/events/events.asp?sCCPage=events_24

This is a Night Surf session on a floodlit Lusty Glaze beach in Newquay in June.

Live Bands, DJs and night surfing. This should rock!!

Cheers
