Glastonbury Play - TRUTH — Forum Archive

15 Oct 2002, 13:36

Have an update on this which will hopefully answer our questions for the time being.....

Ok, ALL 6 Manchester dates have been CANCELLED. They will not take place this weekend as originally advertised, nor will the Play be performed during Oct 23rd - 26th as has been mentioned more recently.

A decision is expected to be made in the NEXT 72 HOURS as to whether the Play will be rescheduled and this will depend on how well the first set of dates are received. If the Play is to be staged in Manchester, it is anticipated that it will be at some point in the next 3 weeks.

All a bit of a nuisance really. If anyone else gets any news on this 'decision' please share it here!.

Ain't that the TRUTH!

It's a bit frustrating, but enduring at the same time (mainly frustrating, though)

This does give hope that the Play may take place next week after all.

Was Ed Blaney involved anywhere ? The man who used to manage The Fall but somehow contrived not once but twice to book and subsequently cancel US tours because he had forgotten to acquire visas ?

That bad?! Did they mention which bands played?

21 Oct 2002, 10:42

21 Oct 2002, 10:47

Here it is

21 Oct 2002, 10:50

Oh dear......

21 Oct 2002, 11:02

on the plus side bristol put in a storming performance on saturday to win & shut up that tw@t guscott with his "the french will win" nonsense.

21 Oct 2002, 11:04

Chasing oeufs against the French eh ? Strange game.

... also, Pringles released another new flavour:

Ranch-Rageous The coolest of the cool, the tangiest of the tangy, do you have what it takes to handle the bite?

Pringles ... it's the gift that keeps on giving.

:hat:

21 Oct 2002, 11:08

never quite understood this chasing egg concept, the "egg" being thrown from one person to the other. sure people run onto passes, but then its the same in the round ball game. is it just cos the laws are too complicated for people that don't follow it?

& just after you were moaning the other day about them not bringing out any new ones, if I was a cynic I would say those events were related...

It was on Liquid News on Choice last night, Keith Allen looked pissed, seems the Manchester one is going ahead after all.

22 Oct 2002, 07:11

To be honest, after all the palaver and the crap review it's had, I don't think I can be arsed!

22 Oct 2002, 08:07

it did look a bit grim to be honest, but apparently although the critics slated it the audience loved it,

"they just all sat on the floor in a big tent and got stoned"

22 Oct 2002, 12:56

besides, didn't cardiff have ub40 at their ones? I mean that can't have helped the ratings...
