Well done Tim for organising. Twas a top night 
Really enjoyed it, even if I did manage to take a tumble and sprain my wrist. I always cause myself a mischief

If I could do it all again, it would not have as many bands, or it would become an all-dayer. I felt so sorry for the Flight guys, the only band to turn up on time for the soundcheck, having to wait around while the less professional amongst us had to be rounded up, then having to play to a crowd that were largely in the other room. You deserved better, guys. We'll also have to put a more stringent limit on set length, I almost had to stop Sarge going on and pulling the plug when Re: Order overran...
Right now, I won't be doing another one, certainly not at somewhere like ULU. It'll have to be at a venue that is prepared to use their bar takings as their cut of proceeds, and will take place in Manchester.
TIM - no need to feel anything for us guys , we were happy to just turn up and play, we got a chance to roadtest some of the new album material, hang out with some very cool people and we had a ball. The hanging around is something that will ALWAYS happen mate and nothing can be done about that. The crowd was wandereing in and out - but isn't that what happens to all bands on the first part of a bill? Its no big deal,people are meeting up/getting beers/having a look around - isn't that what you are supposd to do at these things? You can stil llisten without looking (how many people star at the Cd player while the music is on?) We were the only non-JD/NO related band on (for fucks sake we murdered Creep)and as people came for JD/NO then we expected no more or less. Saying that, if asked, we'd do it all again tomorrow for you and more importantly for the cause.
On a different note mate - look forward to hearing your OWN songs at some point and get in touch about the possibility of gigs here in Liverpool/Merseyside.I have one definite interested party.
Maybe the next one should be an all-dayer so you can accomodate everything you want to achieve. Doesn't the Jebez Clegg in Mancland hire itself out all day? I know they take their cut from the bar proceeeds (or used to).
Cheers Bill, you read my mind on Jabez Clegg, which will be my venue of choice. We'll be getting our own rig and crew in for this one though, not paying through the nose for the students!
I'll mail you later on about gigs etc, need to send Dave the brief for Blue Saturday as well so Carol can get stuck into working on companies for donations!
Coupla bottles of water gets you an engineer
( by then, probably one with his own mixer large enough to handle it too)
To be honest Tim, if you had an all-dayer you could incorporate a lot of things you may have wanted to do but never had the chance to. Either way, for the next one (whenever that will be) I speak for all at Flight when I say we will be at your disposal if required. You pick your date,time and venue and we'll be there.We actually had some demo cd's there but we forgot to give them out in all the hurly burly (I think Dave may have managed to give one to Hookey).
So if anyone wants a demo cd then get in touch through:
Yes please to the demo!
I've just approached Jabez Clegg with regard to playing there on Easter Saturday 7th April. Re: Order have a Manchester gig the following night as well, so that could boost the attendance and turn it into another weekend of 72 hour party people! And yes of course we'd love to have Flight playing again.
This one will need more organisation though, more people will have to take an active role from further back in proceedings, I won't do it all myself until the day itself again.
Re:Order - Aw not the 8th April AGAIN!!! It's my Dad's birthday, so I'll probably miss half of it!

By him a ticket for his birthday - problem solved!! ;)
Nice one Tim - I think it's all been said before, but the whole night was a blinder! 
If you need help setting up the next one give me a shout through Jimbo. I've done a bit of organising in the past and would be happy to muck-in with the dirty work.
Well it won't be at Jabez in April, that's for sure, they are block booked until further notice. Their loss!
Someone up there recommend me a similarly suitable venue please!

Tim, if you're serious about playing Jabez Clegg make absolutely sure there's not another band playing in the adjacent room on the same night (which I think is fairly standard practice). The aural bleed-through is a fucking nightmare and it's like two bands playing in the same room at the same time, ie - a total mess.

Jabez defo won't be happening, they aren't interested. It'll have to be somewhere else.

if you're serious about this - I ought to say at this point that, although we'd like to, I'm not sure how practical it is that re: order could play in manchester on the night before the 8th. the main reasons being that of economics of extending our northern trip (hire costs and accomodation) and the promoters of the 8th might see this as a contractual breach. obviously this entire discussion is very premature and I may well have been presumptive of our intended involvement - but I thought it best to pipe up early with some potential parameters to consider when piggybacking another event onto a re: order gig.

He's into Elkie Brooks - but it might work. He could feel so guilty about not wanting to go that he'll let me go anyway! Nice one!

Oh for fucks sake.
27th Jan Witchwood is the main one for me. Your presence is expected.
then there are about 3 dates in April. I think. That easter one should kick arse. Isnt it an all dayer in Heywood? Awesome.

I'll still be there on the 8th, but may not be out for all day session bit. 27th Jan is booked in my diary already!

Seeing as you asked so nicely!
How shall I put this.....NOOL Day 2007, if there is one, won't revolve around Re: Order's commitments, Digital's commitments, or any band's commitments, it will instead by governed by audience and venue availability. It's not a Re: Order gig, or a Digital gig. There may not even be any bands at all, we don't know yet. Easter Saturday was the obvious day to look at as people aren't at work the day before, and the chances are that one or two may be in the area to see Re: Order the next night, which may help boost the attendance.
It may be worth checking the map as well, Heywood is a good ten miles out of Manchester, and any promoter who argues that your playing a charity event ten miles away will negate his chances of making money the following night is a tosser and not worth working with.
Keep a sense of perspective as well eh, it's a tribute band and a pub in Lancashire, not the Millenium Stadium and Oasis!
I thought there wanst going to be NOOL day 2007?
And without meaning to sound like Scrooge, will a lot of people make the effort if NEW ORDER (remember them?)arent playing a gig in the same city the night before?
how's about Everton Park Sports Centre in Liverpool.
5 a side pitch. we'll just move the goals and put a stage in.
cheap ale.
friendly hoodies outside.
and a pool to drown people in.

Maybe Re:Order can work a version of "State of the Nation" into their list with Elkie Brooks on backing vocals? Might be a bit costly tho.....!
