No offence meant to either you or the supporting band Heidi - but most of us couldn't give a toss. It will be mates catching up and having lots of beer before seeing our favourite band. Spose you could email Alan... Bet he don't even know! *lol*

He does, apparently it was him calling Gabrielles Wish. I guess if some of you going there never seen them live and would like to there would be time to catch up with mates for beer even if you see the supporting band as well, whose set shouldn't last more than 40 minutes... actually I don't even think they'll do more than half an hour... not to say you must absolutely be interested, but if you wanna give them a chance the most of you shouldn't be disappointed, especially when you think what else's happening on the music scene. I mean, say what you want about Gabrielles Wish, but they piss all over the fookin Arctic Monkees...

These Cheeky Girls??! Yeah, right, check the brand new video,Position Oldham Street Manchester (watch it streaming on Google if you don't wish to download 25 MB, should play instantly with a DSL connection), which is roughly The Durutti Column pretending to be goth... but it's good, honest! :D

well just a little update from your man on the ground down here in sunny bournemouth, the gig has definetly been moved to the solent hall from the windsor hall, not all bad, it has a giant window that overlooks the sea and its all standing and a bit smaller than the windsor hall. i spoke to some guys at the bic and its purely down to bad ticket sales! they themselves have been told nothing except new order are playing, they even had to make up there own flyers for the gig! and a bad job they made of it! (can post a comparison pic compared to the kasabian flyer if anyone would like to see?) and on the flyer they dont even metion any support act as they dont know of any! it would appear the biggest publicity for this gig is on here!

It's only about 1000 spaces smaller than Windsor Hall, isn't it? Right next door as well, so nobody will need to relocate to a different hotel or anything. Should still be a good gig (if fookin' Ticketline ever send the bastards out that is).

yeah your just missing the seated area so its no big loss, should be better really as it will feel more like a an old school gig, just hope bernies in the mood for it when he finds out hes been downgraded! i'll get him a pernod or two and tell him its retro cool!

ps sorry if if people thought the venue had changed, forgot that alot of you ane not accustomed to the bic layout.

Well, eight years have passed since New Order's comeback gigs were selling out in a few hours, it's no good to see "poor ticket sales" next to New Order, but time does this even to the best bands... So this would mean tickets are still available, and this just makes me feel horribly frustrated because I just can't decide to come last minute...

Someone posted earlier in this or another thread (sorry for not trawling through it), that the after-gig party had been cancelled too.

Any more news/confirmation of this, folks?

well i posted that rumor and it is still a rumor, i used to work in a bar in bournemouth and as you can imagine you meet allsorts! but one chap who was regular was a relocated manc who seems to have good connections with the band etc (hes aactually arranging an unofficial after party for the kasabian gig in bournemouth and is in contact with the band or those close to get them there) i found this out when i last bumped into him recently and this is when he told me about the new order cancelled party? as i say its a rumor but i would have thought the people on here in the higher echilons would know?

so can you confirm that there is an aftershow party, ehich isnt cancelled? thanks heidi

Heidi, Working on the idea of paying less for a bed means more to pour down my throat, i dont suppose that you could recommend any decent/not DSS B and B's with in crawling distance of the BIC ??

Cheers

Yeah of course i can, but please could you give me a maximum, toal maximum budget for yourself please, and i shall let you know. I mean are you wanting to pay £30 or £50? I shall come up with the best places for you for your money, being a local have a grest ideas! Also those who are concerened with the solent hall check out www.bic.co.uk then put solent all in the search bar and then press confrencing then the blue solent hall link and it shows you many pictures of the hall, it will be more of a personal gig!!!

Spot on Heidi, thanks, i was looking at about the 30 quid mark, can't really see the point of paying top dollar for a room i'm might only use for 4 hours !! Anymore news on the Aftershow knees up ?? If it is binned what's what for a late drink on a rainy monday night ?? Any suitable venues ??

hope these help, or just do a google search for bournemouth b and b and get it from there mate. Iam after some news on the old aftershow party too. PLEASE COULD ANYONE LET US KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT!! there are many bars open till late in bournemouth!!!

I know this isnt relevant to the show at the BIC, but as iam a newish fan please could you answer a few questions for me. Is Gillian Gilbert still married to stephen and is she in the band still? Also the name Joy Division, where did this name come from and where they called anything else before joy division?? Thanks guys.

gillian is still married to steve

she's not in the band anymore tho, phil cunningham replaced her a few years back

I believe they were called stiff kittens and warsaw before they became joy division

hope that helps

So where are we all meeting up for ale then? Only a week to go now!

Down on the beach with a carry out and a deckchair

By the time I get there, I will be able to find yous by listening for the warcries

So if the aftershow's off Heidi, all back to yours?

well all change down here on ground zero, forget the deck chair weve had about ten inches of rain in about ten minutes today! but on a good note it would seem that the afterparty is going ahead! my girlfriend picked up a flyer from the opera house advertising it just 2 days ago!

I'm going all American for this one so will be queuing up outside the venue 3hrs before it opens then will rush to the front to claim my 'spot', buddy.

It's not a Smyths gig, mate.

The name 'Joy Division' was the name for the female Jewish prisoners forced to be prostitutes for the soldiers on there way to the front line,guards etc.

No chance!!!! No after party and mine! I have emailed the manager at the Opera House Bournemouth awating a reply re the aftershow party as there isnt any advertisement on the website or for what i have seen in Bournemouth!! I would like to know what is going on so like us all we can plan things a bit better!! Hope you all viewed the pictures of the Solent Hall www.bic.co.uk. So any news i get from the Opera House i shall let you know!!

Please could you tell me what the flyer said about the aftershow parties eg times, tickets if needed, music, etc etc. Be great to know more details.

Yes there will be many warcries if no aftershow party as i have taken the next day off work, so i can party really hard! Dont want to end up in a horrid place in Bournemouth full of muppets - an aftershow party with all you weirdos would be amazing!!! ha ha!

Heidi, Thanks for the b and b tips, mangaged to get in at the Hedley Court, its full of Tory party members at the moment, so if its still in one piece on Monday i should be ok. Might even make a couple of quid selling on the whips, gimp masks and copies of Horse and Jockey that they will leave behind

So glad that you got in at the Hedley Hotel, it is in a really good place to get to he BIC and the centre of Bournemouth all within 5 minutes west hill road goes up the right hand side of the bic, if you walk to he bottom of the hill you will come to a roundabout, to the right directly is the BIC and turn left to start your partying ha ha well done! Hope it was good value for you. So have you far to come to the gig. Iam really looking forward to it, not as much as my boyfriend. IS ANYONE MEETING UP BEFORE HAND OR AFTER FOR BOOZE!!!! ha ha

DEAR GUYS IMPORTANT INFORMAION RE THE AFTERSHOW PARTY - IT IS NOT GOING ON AT THE OPERA HOUSE!!! AS I EXPLAINED I WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THEM AND HERE IS THE EMAIL I RECIEVED FROM THEM TODAY:
