    even if i do have to drag up the bands i know from cambridge!

    but yeah..im sure chester must have some form of music scene. even if it is 15 yr olds who cant really play and think panic at the disco are amazing

    Haha, well i was friends with the guys that ran it last year and basically we go out and get drunk in various rock orientated places round Chester.

    Generally, last year anyway, it was Rosies for indie night on tuesdays and Metal pig on wednesdays.

    City bar (mostly indie again) occasionaly and Off The Wall for some live music.

    Also tried to arrange some live music in the union, but they were pretty obstructive about it (to the point where a band were willing to play for free yet it still didn't happen.)

    hopefully it'll improve this year.

    We also started up a Rock Society quiz team, just going round various pub quizzes having some drinks and fun.

    There's 4 girls in charge this year. They'll be at the freshers fair and are the ones to speak to if anyone wants to know properly what their plans are.

    I don't really know much about a chester scene, but the The Frog and Nightingale has regular 'alternative' bands on and Telford's Warehouse play live music.

    There's also the rocsoc forum. Woefully underused last year.

    Not sure if it's being controlled at the minute with the changeover in leadership but any questions can be asked there.

    Probably the rock society, and maybe martial arts.
    Yeah, i'll probably be joining those two as well. Noting else appeals :\

    I was kinda hoping there'd be a kickboxing one but ho-hum.

    Well you can always start one if there isn't one already. I'm sure there'll be some people who'd want to join.
