Cheers, guys - not doing a lot today (just got back from The Gambia yesterday - very hot!), but am going to see Massonix (Graham Massey solo) next Friday, and Long Range (Phil Hartnoll, ex-Orbital) next Sunday! 
Now, to finalise all these flights/hotels for the 3 up-coming New Order gigs - credit card is taking a battering this month! :p

NICK from all at PLANET SHEDTop man. Have a good 'un.
That Hartnoll/Welsh thing though. Chuck Palahniuk as well making up a threesome on that one, no? Considered that but Palahniuk's on the South Bank this week so doing that instead.

Well, if they're playing at the Gong Convention in Amsterdam (in November), then I'll definitely catch them then - I *think* at the moment it just says Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy (so they could be doing a Hillage set - hopefully System 7)!
The Slough, Skegness and Glade Festival dates, though, clash with New Order... 
Nick
They are playing the GONG MELKWEG GIG
I have made this Solar Powered Pot Head Pixied hat especially for the event 
:D
