He just released his new album zigzagger: takuya kuroda.
If you don't know him, his first album Rising Son is really excellent. Cool jazz, good vibes.

Re: Listening Clubs

We might have been going the wrong way about this.
I mean, someone will have to do the booking and take out the cash out of his own wallet.
Only fair, that person will choose the venue for the first meeting.

Maybe, let's pick a date first... 22/01 ? 29/01 ?

Re: Listening Clubs

I'm sorry to say, but if we can't use their parking, i don' t really see the point. 100 euros for 3 hours isn't exactly cheap.

Re: Listening Clubs

+1 Fran & Sigolad,

The room is the main / only concern...
Parking, good acoustic, allowed to make some noise, cost indeed.

A Parish center sounds like a good idea... the main room should have good acoustic in theory.

Re: Listening Clubs

There is a market, to some extent at least... but i'm not sure a café would suit. There are concerts, in Dublin, not live one... You have andré rieu on the big screen or Jonas Kaufmann: An Evening With Puccini on screen at the pavillon theatre in Dun laoghaire. And people pay good money to see/liste...

Re: Listening Clubs

Interesting.

It could become a real trend... if less and less concert are acoustic.

I was at Anoushka Shankar concert, a few weeks ago, and while i enjoyed it... i thought that my speakers were better.

Re: What's a good PCIe soundcard ?

I fear i've arrived after the battle, but anyway... If you want to avoid the "audiophile" cards from Asus / Soundblaster... one should look into the cards used by DJs / Musicians / Sono. It's mostly USB, and you'll get much better value for money there. Plus, eventually, some real neat opt...
