Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

Oposium are very excited about the lead-up to their upcoming concert at Parkstone URC on Saturday 14th November.

In preparation to this gig the band have been kept busy in the workshop building 'a few things' for their next performance (with thoughts that Oposium never play the same set twice!).
The band will also have some fresh ideas both musically and visually ready for the concert. A brand new song will also be performed; and the band are looking forward to performing it to you for the first time!

However as always, the band will have their trademarks with them - The Flaming Piano, masses of lights, wild antics, video projections, awesome sound, and beach balls! Merchandise will also be available including the band's album "Life Under The Sun", newly designed T-Shirts, and much more!

The first rehearsals for the concert will begin within the next week over at the Conical Sphere studio.

Oposium are holding a stall in Poole Dolphin Centre this Sunday 1st November all day to advertise the gig and sell tickets.

Tickets for the concert can be bought at just £3 each, or 4 for £10 from our website Homepage, or the MusicRoom in Falkland Square in Poole.

Hope to see you there!

Peace always,
Oposium Admin Team

The Oposium banner is up! That means only one thing ... gig next Saturday! So if you're coming down next Saturday (29th November 2008) and can't find Parkstone United Reformed Church (also known as PURC), just drive down Commercial Road from Poole Civic Centre (towards Ashley Cross and Bournemouth with Tyreland on your left) and look out on the right for our banner. Hopefully you can't miss it!

As the band prepare for the first of two large concerts this Christmas taking place a week Saturday on the 29th November, there is increasing excitement in the Oposium camp. "The ending to 'I Will Wait For You' is going to be totally kick-ass! I can't wait!" writes Dave Waller. With the organ at the Parkstone United Reformed Church (PURC) being ideally situated on the semi-circular stage Richard couldn't agree more "It's not quite as big as the one we used last year, but it is one of the few of it's kind left in the country - and we're going to rock out with it!".

Richard was out on the road this morning talking to a third support act down at the Routes To Roots office in Poole. "We have some exciting news to announce; one of the busker's whom Routes To Roots have supported will be playing a short set on the 29th as well. This is really important as it shows that our concerts are benefitting the people Routes To Roots are helping as well." Jamie who is as much excited about the concert as we are has gone from sleeping in a tent at Holes Bay five months ago to now joining the list of bands performing on the evening. Routes To Roots outreach worker Rob Fish explained "Together with footage from the concert, we'll talk to Jamie and place the finished short film up on the Routes To Roots website. It's a fantastic way to bring closure to the story and also show how positive the work of our charity can be."

"We can't underestimate the potential of this concert" stresses Richard "To be able to provide a venue for people of all ages to perform original music is surely something worth pursuing".

"It's also a great way to kick start Christmas!" agrees Rob.

We look forward to seeing you there, 7pm on the 29th November at Parkstone United Reformed Church (opposite Tyreland in Ashley Cross).

Peace always.
