Anyone else? Great venue. And there is a Manchester school disco afterwards...
EDIT : Sorry for Hi-Jacking yer thread Clive.The Re : Order lads are also playing the Grey Horse in Kingston on September 22nd.This thread is now a sticky since there seem to be a good few onliners up for these 
Top top venue two minutes from my home and the sea. Saw Monaco play to under a hundred people a few years back there. For years it was a wedding venue until the early nineties when they started putting on gigs. If sunny and not too hung over we can have some boats trips the next day Ness. Gordy can also put up a few he may be working in Antigua, his flat is a lot tidier than mine so i will have the hardier ones, floor and sofa space!

Posh-ist sounding venue name you've had so far I think!
Posh it isn't - but for an intimate in a nearly-on-stage-with-the-band type way, it can't be beaten.

Yeah - me, Old Blue and Mrs Old Blue were three of those people.
Just for the record, it was 16 September 1997 - supported by Rialto and theaudience (Sophie Ellis-Bextor's band - Clive used to have the hots for her Blue Peter presenting mum, apparently!)...
Chris :D

Indeed - I often prefer to make the hour long journey along the coast in preference to seeing the same bands at Brighton's Concorde 2.
Now, where're my flares and paisley hoodie...

Ooh, thanks Gary - a possibility of the long promised boat trip :D
Yeah - Gordy mentioned his flat when I saw him last.
Looking forward to it! x

Doesn't look like there's much room on that train at all.
Do you have to sit on someone's lap 
I believe they're also playing The Citadel in St Helens in December with The Clone Roses. Might just have to pop by.
talkin of Smiths tribute bands. must laugh when i hear that name the Smyythes.
Liverpools got one and Morrissey lookalike wasn't so lucky near Sefton Park in Liverpool the other day.

Any good?
Seen 'em twice, awesome stuff, awesome members. Also like how they record their own sequencers, not to mention have Tom Hanks on keyboards. 
Almost forgot the banter between shows. Pubs with vibrator-selling machines writes its own jokes. Haha.
Just listened to some of the stuff they've got on their website..... all good stuff.
Looking foward to this..... should be good.

Never been to Portsmouth, I presume it is docky and not sea-sidey?
Tea and muffins sounds good, you better get some tea room research in, are you going to be offering your cocktail sausages out in the car again? :)
A bit of both Ness,
Long shingle beach, with docks at the far right.
Gunwharf, with the infamous Spinnaker Tower is a great place for a drink.

Thanks, sounds better than I thought! I was told is was a miserable place.
I have seen Re:Order about 15 times (don't laugh) and I can recommend them!
I'll probably not make Kingston on 22nd as I've got a 'team meeting' that day which basically involves getting to the pub for 11am and then I've got to get up early for a 12.45 KO at Anfield and a hedonistic Lancashire night out. :)
But,
Just got out of my shift on Sat 30th so I can wander down to Pompy on 29th 
Is there a floor I can crash on, please. 
Im bloody working abroad yet again but i am looking to be home for these two gigs as well as a few obvious New Order gigs.
:)
Any Noolers attending the Kingston gig tomorrow - I'll be there around 8pm - if you've met me before, great, if not, I'll be the tall skinny guy in a NOOL T shirt with a pretty blonde *lol* (maybe two...) Oh, and I'm NOT referring to Chemical Al... Come and say hello, I won't hit you! 
I am usually a lot of things, but blonde ain't one of them! Anyone know which band are on first tomorrow night or is it decided by a toss of a beermat or somesuch? Not being a Smiths/Smyths fan, I am keen to know who will hit the stage first.
Feel free to email me if you know.
both bands tossed for it and we came first.
there's duration parity but I think it's the promoter's expectation that re: order will be on first. curfew is 11.30 and so I reckon kick off from 8.30 - or 8.45 very latest - in order to each get a decent set in.
'til tomorrow, I thank you...
