SUNDAY 9th NOVEMBER 2008

· WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BASICS OF SOUND ENGINEERING?

· WANT TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR PA SYSTEM?

De-mystify the black art of live sound and PA systems.

This one-day workshop will unlock the secrets of all this wizardry and more.

CHRIS WYNN is an accomplished and widely-experienced musician and sound engineer. Lamenting the poor sound from many PA systems due to lack of operator knowledge, he has made it his mission to pass on all he knows to those willing to listen and learn. The sound of most PA systems can be improved to advantage.

He has worked with the great and good from The Supremes to Albert Lee and everyone in between, covering all styles. He has built his own PA systems and run a successful PA hire company. If you ask him nicely, he’ll also tell you about the time John Martyn set fire to his rig!

SATURDAY 5th JULY, 7.30pm

It’s been a while since our last Evening of Clairvoyance, as we’ve been determined to engage only the best Mediums available. With TV increasing the popularity of all things Spiritual, there has been no shortage of people eager to get involved. A few have the integrity with which we would associate ourselves, but too many do not.
Happily, we have found Andy Ford, who has been involved in Spiritualism for several years and is a Spiritualist Medium and Healer. Andy has trained within the Spiritualist National Union to become a registered healer and at the SNU Arthur Findlay College for his mediumship, which is second to none. He has also received training from John Brett and at the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain by tutors such as Gordon Smith and Billy Cook. We’re really looking forward to another fascinating evening of Clairvoyance, delivered in Andy’s laid-back, light-hearted style. Tickets are just
£ 7.50 each - Please book early to avoid disappointment!

SATURDAY 26th APRIL marks our Gala Open Day here at Salisbury’s award-winning Music and Drama Tuition & Rehearsal Centre.

There will also be live music and drama performances throughout the day, including an appearance by Route 36’s own house band The Sexy Boys, and our drum club, the Riot Squad.
Director Zena Spry explains: “ We know there are still a great many people in our area who don’t know where we are, or what we do – so we’re throwing open our doors for the day to show everyone what goes on here. It’ll be a lot of fun, and we hope to raise some money for SeeAbility, our adopted charity for 2008 at the same time “.

Taster sessions available on the day will include Drums, Guitar, Piano, Bass and Vocals, and you can also find out about our workshops and courses, among which we will soon be offering the Arts Award.

Entry is free for everyone, and the Open Day will run from 10.00am to 4.00pm on Saturday 26th April. Route 36 is situated directly on the A36 Warminster Road, just one mile north of Wilton.
