ArtAngel Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I was really looking forward to going to this but the lack of original Rock/Metal bands has kind put me off. Out of all the decent local rock bands in town and I could name a few, I can't believe they aren't making an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jam '06 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 The Jam is the new Devonshire Jam Due to the massive amount of money is cost to put on the festival on Devonshire Green, we have been forced to move to a new location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtAngel Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I heard about that. Having said that. Its about time the hubs and surroundings was used for what it was built for. I hope it works well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 OK so everyone just complain about them putting on a free festival for you. All anyone seems to have done is complain about this, I don't get it! It's a bank holiday, get some beers and come and watch some bands for free. You might even have a good time, shock horror...

KidPhunk Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 My sentiments exactly - ok so its gonna be a bit different but it is free and for the people so have some bl**dy gratitude all you criticisers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtAngel Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm still gonna come down but the point I was making was that out of all the metal bands in and around Sheffield they hardly ever make an appearance at these free festivals. I always feel that the organisers think that this type of music is not appropriate yet there are many followers. Just walk down division street on any weekend. Its either that metal bands don't come forward or they get rejected. I've seen two metal bands play West Street Live in the mid week (thursday) and on both occasions they were almost as full as a Saturday night yet I've seen Blues and Indie bands on the same nights playing to 10 people in the same venue....believe it or not, they're BOTH playing the Jam. I realise that its a no win situation for the organiser and you cannot please everyone. I'm not a musician myself but I love supporting live music and I must say there are a couple of bands playing at the Jam that I've seen and are really really good. So I'll be checking those out. I just wanted people to know that when the line-up was announced my heart sank and my immediate thoughts were 'I knew it..no hard rock AGAIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidPhunk Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I do see where your coming form artangel as I was kinda gutted about the lack of drum and bass represented in the dj line up (again probably due to playing it safe with house music). The only dj representing breaks is myself, which i think is wrong for a full day of DJ's but hey as you said you can't please everyone and playing it safe seems to be the only option at these community type things!
