Also, include the name of and directions to the locale where the event/session is being held, or any other relevent contact info.

Posters who play an instrument and are looking for others to jam with are also welcome to post their inquiries/contact info.

If your inquiries can be accomplished by private messaging the original poster then please use pm's so this thread does not become too unwieldy.

Do you ever play on weekends? I work until midnight.

I was there last Saturday - the guy in a French beret with a red and black striped jersey perched on a stool in the corner - and enjoyed the music. Thought the engine room was very tight.

Not so keen on the venue though, but maybe 'cos the band is so well known, it was packed ... well done ....

[ladyandthetramp]

Am I the only one playing music on this board?

Well, less competition, I guess.

Come and see my other group, appropriately titled Love Pump, tear up the stage this Saturday, October 30, during our Halloween show at the J Bar in Itaewon. Prize for best costume.

The show starts at 10:00 p.m.

Directions: Itaewon exit 1, take a right turn in the alley past KFC (you'll see the Moghul restaurant in front of you). The J Bar will be on your left.

[Wangja]

I look forward to that one too ... bit of a long walk from 3 Alleys though ... and that late too!!

(This is about a play that is happenning in Seoul.)
BH Productions' latest play is ART by Yasmina Reza, directed by Kirstie Bromenshenk, and opening this Friday night. ART is a dark comedy which calls into question the nature of friendships: who our friends are, why we are friends, what keeps us together, and what can drive us apart.

Marc (Bernard Hughes), Yvan (Daami Cagney), and Serge (Ashley Pugh) have been best friends for over 15 years. Serge has just bought a modern art painting for an outrageous amount of money. Marc cannot understand how Serge could have possibly spent so much money on this painting. As the ties that bind them together begin to unravel, Yvan, in trying to mediate, actually makes the situation worse.

For this production, we have two venues, one in November and one in December:

NOVEMBER: The Guinness Bar Theatre, Yaksu Station
Fri. 19th and 26th 10:00pm
*The 19th performance to be followed by live acoustic music.
