    BIT Live Brighton - 13th September, 2003

    http://www.backintimelive.com

    BIT Live Brighton will feature a concert: the headline act is...
    Rob Hubbard - unplugged! Rob plays his own hits live on stage. Also,
    Press Play on Tape will be performing. The whole thing will culminate
    in a supergroup of PPOT, Rob, Ben and violinist Mark Knight for the
    ultimate "Monty on the Run"...

    The concert will be MCd by Ben Daglish, and also includes Octave Sounds
    and more! We're also working on other acts!

    Also, the day will be 15 hours long, with a retro game and music fest
    from 11am -> 6pm attended by as many composers as we can get: there
    will also be a display exhibit of Martin Galway's C128D (wot he used
    to compose most of his SIDs), and his original Ocean source disks and
    source code.

    TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT http://www.c64audio.com/shop
    The venue is the Brighton centre, directly on the seafront in Brighton,
    with all-day catering and air conditioning (http://www.brightoncentre.co.uk) Already celebs are planned for the event... the guestlist is available on
    the page.

    A ticket for the concert and after show boogying will be C10, and a ticket
    for the all-day event will be C5. The thing costs over C4000 to put on,
    so we've got be a teeny bit mercenary. Between 6pm and 7pm people will
    leave the centre temporarily to have some food while we set up the concert. Throw in a playable SIDstation and a competition section gamesmastered
    by Mat "Mayhem" Allen, and featuring a special Llamasoft Retrovision subsection.

    Also, Allan "Commodore Scene" Bairstow showing his awesome collection of Commodore machines doing awesome things, and composers turning up to the
    remix workshop to jam along to their own SIDs, and you've got a pretty unmissable event, IMHO.

    Tickets are limited and are actual Brighton Centre tickets which will be
    sent out and which will guarantee entry. Capacity will be strictly
    controlled.

    There's even a five-a-side football match on the beach on Friday evening,
    and a semi-official booze-up after that.

    Oh yes: worried about how to get to Brighton from Stansted airport? Don't
    be: there will be SID minibuses run by us which will convey you for a non-profitmaking fare, both there and back on Friday evening and Saturday morning.

    For accommodation we're currently suggesting http://www.brighton.co.uk and follow the "accommodation" link.

    Oh yes, and there will also be the launch of "The Galway Project: The
    Perfect SID Collection", which is an audio CD collection compiled by
    Alistair "Boz" Bowness of the highlights of Martin Galway's SIDs, recorded
    from his actual SID chip (the only one that plays them as they were meant
    to be played), and which will include Streethawk (in two versions, with subtunes), a missing tune in Wizball that was commented out of the source
    code, reminiscences by Martin himself, and other worktunes, as well as the classics. The CD was compiled by Boz, and is the precursor to a DVD next
    year which will contain every single Martin Galway tune and subtune
    recorded in 24bit, 48khz (DVD) and 96khz (DVD Audio) along with all his
    source code, pictures from his bedroom at the time, and other goodies.

    Definitely one for the fans!
