After a discussion on the Boards Of Canada Facebook page this evening, I'm gaging numbers for a possible get together (maybe to become a regular thing) in Birmingham. This would entail a listening session - as in the "Classic Album Sundays" format - for all four BoC albums, on a very nice audio system, of course  I've set up an Eventbrite page purely to find out interested numbers - NOTHING is definite as of yet. The amount of people interested would impact the venue it would be held at. So at this stage, purely exploratory. Eventbrite is the only way I can reasonably judge interested numbers (other than emailing me directly). I've wanted to host something like his for quite some time, and now I'm running my own business, I can do whatever the hell I like www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/boards-of-canada-appreciation-day-tickets-38165079781 |

I wonder if there is a benefit in BoC and similar artists for the whole day.
Brum too far for me too I'm afraid
All the best for what should be a good day

It'd be focusing on their four albums, and with time permitting, I was going to finish off with some tracks from similar artists |

Unfortunately, the initial venue (where I work) is a no go, and trying to book a venue at this time of year is a little tricky. I tried a couple of others, but it's a busy time of year, what with office parties and stuff starting to happen, so larger venues tend to be already booked.
I've cancelled the page and orders on the Eventbrite page (don't want people turning up out of the blue!). Altogether, there were 27 tickets ordered, which I don't think is bad for a short notice, niche event like this. Anyone who signed up for the event, I've retained email addresses to let them know of any future event I'm able to put on.
If I can't get anything sorted for February or March, I'll definitely set something up for next November.

That's a shame it has to wait David. I would say 27 people wanting to come is a really good indication of the demand for this kind of thing. Good work! And good luck for finding a way to make it work.

If you re-run the event, I will make a concerted effort to attend.

Thanks Martin. I've just been a bit busy doing some shows (at Harrogate this weekend), and finishing a world's first review (!), on top trying to sort out a broken iPhone along with a few other hassles! I really would've liked to have done something during November, and had my initial venue been a go, I'd have done it. At least I'll be able to give a bit more notice and plan it better for next time though |
