General chit chat - what you like?

Hey everyone. I am totally new to JR having found this place on hotscripts recently (after 12 months of searching for something like this!).

Just wanted to get to know the forum folks. Whose who, what you do and what your favourite features are of jamroom. Hope that's cool and hope to be a part of the community.

I'm Jason, best known as Mucka Jay. I run a radio station, a festival and do lots of rock and metal stuff in England, not far from Birmingham. I'm still in testing of my new site after 3 weeks working on it, there is so much potential and my site is using about 10% of its capabilities.

Once mine is ready I will see about it getting on the showcase. Favourite part of the site for me is its social but not Facebook. that is what I have been looking for. I've had a few facebook clone sites in the past and they have failed but I am feeling very optimistic about this!

Anyway, give me a shout if you want to chat rock, punk or metal!

Mucka.

Hi Mucka - Thanks for the post, we could do with a few more OT threads here
I'm in Nottingham so not far away from you, and I know there are other UK JR users posting here as well so maybe they will chip in.
What festival do you run? Any room for a high energy Swamp'n'Roll band? - http://elvisfontenot.com (sorry - have to ask )

Bobbing along to your music now Paul. Might have room on the acoustic stage next year? The festival I run is www.breakingbandsfestival.com this year was the first year. We had Breed 77 headline as their last ever gig. Next year we have ex Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley headlining and cannot wait. I run TBFM Online Radio too and I do show on air Thursdays 5pm UK time.

I'm pretty retro...I'm into '80s music. ...um, that would be 1880s. lolol!
Mary Blane ...mid 1800s American, fiddle & banjo
Cotton Pod Walk Around, a banjo tune from the 1800s

Mucka that is some great suit you got there! it would go swell with my big 16" minstrel tambourine!

'80s you say? I also run another radio station which has a different decade each day of the week running 24 hours a day. Tuesdays (Uk time) you would love it!

As for my suit, yes I am quite pleased with it. I get quite a reaction when I wear that. Still tempted to wear it to my nan's funeral this week, she'd see the funny side but no one else would!

@paul - I forgot to say, I actually live not far from you as we are in Hinckley (near Nuneaton). Coming over your way October for a 2 day music event at the Doghouse where I will be doing my late night chas n dave session on piano with the landlord after the bands have finished! Message me if you'd like your band on our festival next year too, on the acoustic stage.
