I thought I'd start a new thread and I'm sure somebody will tell me we've had this one before..........anyway here goes.
How far do you travel from your term time place of abode to your regular band?
I travel 54 miles round trip to mine
How about you? 8)

Wait til you read how far Neal (aka our very own Keppler) travels to his band.... I'll let him reveal all... painful though! :wink:
I'll let him reveal all... painful though! :wink:
Beeeeuuuurgh.. I bet...
I travel around 40 miles round trip
With lifts and dropoffs, about 110 miles round trip.
Can't travel more than about 10 miles round trip I would think it is.
5 minute walk there and back. Although at home it's about 7/8 miles round trip I suppose.

About 85 miles round trip.

About 2 mile round trip.
Clean and pure and Local Tubbs!!!
about 80 mile round trip...although now I work in Leeds as well as rehearsing there it has turned into an 80 miles round trip with 3 hours of hanging around after work before band!
I'm very lucky!!! It'd be pushing to say a 2 mile round trip!!! Although I have done some silly distances in the past!
here we go again...
500 km (300 mile +) round trip once a week. takes about 8 hours..
recently clocked over 80,000 miles bus time..
yay.

Well that confirms it then, you don't have to be mad to play in a band....... but it helps!!!!!!!!!

about 10 min walk there, although i've not dared attempt walk the walk back (the disadvantage of living at the top of the hill and band being very much at the bottom of said hill!!)
although i'm sure a few drinks inside might fuel the walk back..

5 mins there and back for me... !! 8) 8) 8) I too have travelled further in the past but wouldn't really want to travel more than 45 mins each way. Although that is not as good as when I played for Carlton. They actually rehearsed on the road i lived on... 2 mins walk !

I live about 7 miles from Hadleigh, but it is somewhat confusing as I am usually going to practice straight from work (in London).
With the wind ensemble we meet three times a year, the venues having been as far afield as Pentre, Plymouth and Nuneaton. A couple of the wind ensemble players travel down from Scotland each time, so they have quite a trek.

Approximately an 80 mile round trip for me and the missus. It takes us about 45 mins to an hour to get there (Littleborough from Leeds), but it takes significantly longer to get back home......something to do with the pub up the road from the bandroom perhaps! :lol: :wink: :guiness
flixtons about a 10 mile round trip but when i go down to yb2k its about 250 miles round trip, which is why i dont do it as often as they'd like!

Must be about a 20 mile rount trip to my band (twice a week), and an 80 mile round trip to my wife's band, also twice a week (different nights!)
My poor wee car!
A musician's work is never done: well worth it though.

What about when you are working in Exeter, that must be at least 270 miles to Newark, so I'll let you off if your late coming from there.

5 minutes there, 5 minutes back....in the car :D
It's a mile and three quarters from home to band room. That's 3080 yards or, if you prefer, 110880 inches. If you want to know how far that is in metric, you work it out!

15.10.2003, 19:40
Not sure how many miles round trip mine is, but I'd guess on about 70ish. It's all motorway near enough, so I get there in about 40 mins and back in about 2 hours via the Holts Arms :lol:

I live the closest to the bandroom out of all the members of Pennine, which is about two miles away.
I used to travel 32 miles down to Marple though, so I haven't always had it easy.

Was doing 50 miles/1 hour trip (horrible country roads and horse boxes!)each way over the summer, but now we've moved house its only 20mins. Bliss.
My first band was only 5 mins in the car. I miss those days!
The prize has to go to Alder Valley though - the band "room" is about 50 yds from the BBb bass player's front door!!!!!
Littleborough (Home) to Haslingden band- about 30 minutes twice a week. Ok on a Tuesday night, NOT great on a Sunday morning!
Littleborough (home) to Littleborough band- 2 minutes! I live round the corner from the bandroom!! Although I am moving shortly and will have to travel (wait for it.............................) 3 miles!!
The agonies of banding!
BassTromBeast
16.10.2003, 13:57
It's a 5 minute drive there and back for the Peterborough Citadel band practices.
Just over 140 mile round trip for the Anglia Youth Band. But then we only rehearse about once a month so it's by no means unreasonable. And I have all that magnificent Norfolk scenery to look at! And if I'm lucky, I may even see a hill. :roll:

Our former Bass Trombone, Barry Scott (now with Aldbourne) was for a while travelling from Barnstaple (to Oxford), which must be of a similar order of magnitude.
I'm guessing you live in either Cork or Belfast!

Dublin actually - and Dungarvan at the weekend.

About a 35 mile round trip to band, but we seem to be doing a lot of travelling from Leicester to Manchester and northern areas for contests and solo contest at weekends.
36 mile round trip twice a week for my daughters band. 18 mile round trip twice a week for my sons band. 16 mile trip once a week for daughters piano lesson. Plus whatever engagements are on saturdays and sundays, and between now and christmas, thats every weekend between now and Christmas and every day in December. Phew. :?

on a serious note, a couple of friends of mine, tony and gill davies, follow the grimethorpe everyewhere, and they told me (i don't know if it's true) that one of them travels from birmingham, and one from london to every rehearsal. and, i went to see the yorkshire b.s. band do a concert, and the man selling disks said one of the tuba players comes from wales.
it just shows you the commitment of some of these top bandspeople.

60 mile round trip for me (twice a week) plus all jobs are that sort of distance, but the band I conduct is only about 10 miles round trip (plus jobs). Seeing some of these other mileages make me feel a lot better though!

07.12.2003, 11:12
I`m Sian`s mum and I hope that bands appreciate the trouble parents (or mugs) take. Monday- at least we dont drive for her any more. Tuesday- 32 miles for no 1 son. Wednesday- 16 miles for no 2 son. Thursday- Sian is off again. Friday- 32 miles again for no 1 son. Saturday 14 to music centre or every 2 weeks 150 miles back and forth to the county brass band. Add to this jobs etc. and you can see why nobody would buy a used car from us!
Keep on bandin`

I d a bout 30 mile round trip at present. Can take anything from 15-25 minutes depending on the the traffic lights at Hillsborough. Hit them at the right time and at the right speed and you can go through about 15 traffic lights all on green. get it wrong and you're stopping every 100 metres!!

07.12.2003, 20:02
I've been lucky and all of my bands have been relatively local. Staffordshire band was aprox 10 miles, Sovereign was 6 miles.
Current band is 6 miles, mind you, I'd travel a lot further to play under bottyburps baton :) (thats another free pint you owe me now after getting me out of retirement :lol: )
However, in the past, I've played 1 night concerts where I've had to travel from the midlands to the south coast...ah those were the days before speed cameras....

It takes me about 25 minutes to get to band. Sometimes longer because there are about seven sets of traffic lights on Broxburn Main Street.

Mines a 78 mile round trip during term-time, normally luckly to get back before midnight after a rehearsal (might be something to do with a pub). Don't fancy the journey when I'm not at uni though, 270 mile round trip!

I remember when I used to do that smashing trip Becky! Me and Deave used to have lots of fun traveling from the North East together. Sometimes we didn't even bother going home and stayed out on the p**s.
Now my band room is a 15 minute walk! But it'll take about 50 minutes next year when I move in with Lee. CBA.

It doesn't bother me have quite a laff execpt when we go in the van (can't hear yourself think). Only problem is that I always need the loo halfway back after them many pints in the club! :(
There are only a few times when I haven't made it back, but to be fair I have only been there for 6 weeks!

A few miles from my home at Storthes Hall near Huddersfield to Emley. Unfortunately I can't drive and it's a bit too far to walk, so I get a lift, which takes about 10 minutes most.
I suppose I have it lucky.
Its about a 60 mile round trip to Faireys and possible a 15 mile round trip for Rainford... Both bands twice a week (not including jobs :shock: ).
Used to do a 75mile round trip when I was a student. Then had a couple of months of doing 240 mile round trip when I'd moved home which wasn't the best.

Similar thing happened to me over Xmas. Having rushed home from work and zoomed along the motorway (at 70mph of course officer :wink: ), I reached Littleborough (approx 40 miles away) to discover that practice had ben cancelled and they had decided to go carolling an hour ago without telling me! :evil: Grrr!
Although, the next day, there was mucho grovelling by the committee members and I was also given some petrol money. :lol: :D
So they're forgiven. :lol:

WEEKDAYS
Leave home in Salford at 5pm, and walk to Salford Crescent Station (20mins). Catch 1726 to Buxton - Arrive Stockport at about 1800. Wait for Gareth to turn up (usually about 15 mins late!), and then go in car to Hull (1hr 45mins normally). Out and in. Rehearse 8-10pm. Arrive home about 11.45. 6hrs 45mins point to point.
SUNDAYS
Since they cancelled the Buxton train on a Sunday(!) I have to walk to Victoria Station from Salford (leave about 4pm). 20 mins to there, and get the Metro to Piccadilly. Arrive Piccadilly at about 4.50pm, then get train to Stockport, arriving at about 5.15pm. Wait for Gareth (late), and leave at 5.30 for Hull. Arrive in time for band at 7.15pm. Arrive home about 11pm. 7hrs from beginning to end.
Approx. 210 miles round trip, as and when! Thank god I don't have to drive!
I used to have about a 50 mile round trip twice a week including some pickups but now it's down to about 12 miles (same band, different house).

32 miles round trip (about 40 minutes each way but I allow an hour to make allowances for stray sheep, tractors, slow lorries etc). The next nearest band would require an overnight stay across the water.
And occasional 900 mile round trips to Croydon (and sometimes Fulham!).

etc). The next nearest band would require an overnight stay across the water.
What, on a boat or without? Or submerged underneath it? Do they supply water wings with that? Have you been getting strange ideas from that bloke in the January caption competition? I think we should be told.
;-)
Takes me about 10 minutes by car. Used to be a 5 minute walk away, which was lovely, but the band moved location, which was great for the band, but a bit inconvenient for me - I've got a bit of a thing about not using the car too much (no I'm not mean, I worry about the environment!)

Wait for Gareth to turn up (usually about 15 mins late!), and then go in car to Hull (1hr 45mins normally). Out and in. Rehearse 8-10pm. Arrive home about 11.45. 6hrs 45mins point to point.
SUNDAYS
Since they cancelled the Buxton train on a Sunday(!) I have to walk to Victoria Station from Salford (leave about 4pm). 20 mins to there, and get the Metro to Piccadilly. Arrive Piccadilly at about 4.50pm, then get train to Stockport, arriving at about 5.15pm. Wait for Gareth (late), and leave at 5.30 for Hull. Arrive in time for band at 7.15pm. Arrive home about 11pm. 7hrs from beginning to end.

I did try it the other week, but it's actually quicker to walk to Victoria than go to the Cresecent and wait for a train. Plus the fresh (?!) air does me good! :D
I have fair distance of about 200metres lol! yea just up the road for me guys! aint i lucky?! :P

It takes me about 20 mins on the Tube to Regent Hall
And about 5 mins in the Car from home to Chelmsford
However!
There was a guy in the SA German Staff Band who used to fly from Stockholm to Berlin every week to attend practice!
He was either very dedicated or very sad!
