To relieve confusion... Our next gig will be: Feb 10th - Kingsmeadow Live, Kingston
then we have: March 4th - The Limelight, Crewe and a re:arranged date at the Dublin Castle, Camden [at present] March 31st
a new Witchwood date is being discussed
apologies, for misinformation and fuzziness. we've had a spot of bad luck with venues getting their wires crossed and putting the wrong dates in their diaries & double bookings.

Excellent live in Kingston so will definaetly be there - at least I'll be home in a few minutes unlike Kilburn LOL!
Cheers!
Apologies Al there has been a major cock up with the dates and the 9th Feb was booked out to another band! The dates were doing are the ones Will has posted above.....we havent had much luck with that kind of thing lately!!!
El Jarvo wrote: Eh?!
What happened to Dublin Castle on the 9th?!
Can't make the 10th - am at a wedding.
the dull exposition is that after confirming friday 9th february, one of the venue bods wrote it down as friday 9th january in the book. this then got turned into friday 5th january and we only found out about the gig (and the cock up) on tuesday. in the meantime, they'd booked out 9th feb to some other thin trousered oiks (prob'ly). sorry you won't be joining us on the 10th - hope to see you on 31/3 it's very nearly my birthday then so I shall be celebrating..... someone else can do the singing and shorts wearing

Bob the builder sheets OK?
I've taken a reservation for Leggy D.
We're celebrating Will's birthday, so don't forget to bring a bottle of sparkling Perrier water with you.
Just saw the March 31st date. Am going to try and make this too- providing my parachute opens when I jump out of a plane in Peterborough on the 30th!
Cutting in fine! Bonzy styleeeeeeeeeeee.
Missy Jem wrote: Aw I want to do another! On my own this time.
Never fear! My roof is quite high. Joe's agreed to make you a special parachute! Barnet General happen to be my neighbours.

Why? You bitch- what's wrong with my hair!?

You mad bugger! And you Jemmie! Can't believe you've done one.Did you do it on your own or in tandem?
i will probably be up for kingston, and to make it interesting i might try and stay sober
but then again!!
I'll do my very best to make Kingston on the 10th - hopefully nobody else will put a gig on that date to clash (like last time in December)...
So far, the only dates I've got booked this year:

Yay Clarkey! No chance you're staying sober. You're English and don't you forget it!
Nick, you'd better make yourself available!

Tandem! I had about a grand on it for Charity and I thought I might bottle it if I had to throw myself out!
I ended up with the young Kamikaze guy who did a backward double somersault out of the plane, I didn't know which way was up for about a minute!
(I would post pictures, but my face looks like squidged plasticine!)
Oh blimey! I was relying on some Re:Order gigs to restore my sanity - and they keep being taken away!
Anyway would be interested in Kingston, not sure how to get back though!
Missy Jem wrote: Why don't we rent an apartment for the night and have a massive party afterwards!
Sounds interesting, but can you rent an apartment for one night in Kingston!! Worth looking into though.

you should let something like that put you off, i dont mind sharing a bench with you!

not a drop of alcohol had past my lips till I met you!
these modern computer devices are all too much for me on sunday afternoon shared with my best friend "stella artois"
give me a break
Smart arse Burt reckons we won't be able to rent an apartment for one night.Well you can in Manchester!
I'm going to investigate anyway.
And rooms by the hour, not that I'd know about that!
Failing that we'll get a huge family room and bring sleeping bags!

I'd heard the Hotel Inspector thought them so good, she wet herself. That's what Jemma told me anyway. 
Bit sad that I won't be able to make Kingston, but already have tix to see my lad, Lunatic Icebox, performing in Les Miserables.
Will have to try and make one a bit later in the year.
Im Sorry boys but the next gig that i will be able to get to see you play will be the Cover Band Festival in Lancashire. Then i will get to the Manchester gig as well.Not to much traveling involved for both of them so should be quite a night on both ocassions. Reason being that i am still in the Cold Place !!!
Get home in the middle of April ....
Loooking forward to watching you play again.

I dread to think were you lost your phone in The Dam
I'm just having a look at this Kingsmeadow Live place and it says opens at 8pm... The last time I went to Kingston was about 15 years ago so my pub knowledge isn't up to date... Anyone know a good pub between Norbiton station and the venue? I've booked Dad Cabs to take us home, so we will get to see both bands without panicking about trains home..
Brilliant! See you there chick.
(Can't help you with your query though, I've only been to Landan twice)

Cool... they all look good to me...
Well, assuming it doesn't snow (and hence disrupt transport!), I should be there! :)
What time will Re:Order and/or The Smythes finish? Last train from Kingston is 11:20pm, so obviously if it's anything after 11pm, I'll need to either find a hotel or grab a taxi!

Am going to be in Central London most of Sat and will be drinking in Waxy O'Connor's, Leicester Square, from about 6ish. My bro's birthday, so anyone welcome. Will then make way straight to the venue.
I won't be drinking though!
Well, i might be tempted by half a shandy.

2 points,
I want pictures of the area....Kingston being one of the places detroyed by the martians in 1903, I must see the lie of the land.
What about this Witchwood gig? I might come over for that (Landan is too pricey for a casual trip, and oop nort I can go visit our Jemmy too )
The Witchwood gig is off, because the future of the venue is in serious doubt. We drove past it on our way to Scunthorpe the other week and it was stood on its own, surrounded by land being prepped for office blocks.
They are playing Manchester on Easter Sunday, as part of an all day thing with loads of tribute bands, something which i'll probably give a miss actually. Then 21st April at the university supporting the Clone Roses. No doubt i'll watch Re Order and re treat to the cheap bar. Thats if i've managed to make it back from the Camden Crawl in one piece.

21st of April sounds like a good one for me, I may investigate attending that.
Still want pictures of Kingtson though :D

Dunno what we are doing yet... but we have to meet up with a mate who is going to the football first, other than that.... will play it by ear... anyone already got a ticket? couple of quid cheaper if you buy before the event.. although might be a bit late now...
banshee wrote: cant make the easter one so might do manc on the 21st instead
Defo cant make the Easter one ???? But i am looking to be home just in time for the Manc one .....It will be very tight but i should just do it. Also right up for the Leeds gig ! If i am right i think that they are doing it with another Joy Division Tribute band.
Should be a great night and will probbally stop over in a cheap Travel Inn.
Edd or Grant or anyone else... If you fancy a few beers in Yorkshire and a good night out give us a shout.

Feck!... Bromley are me local team.. Managed by failed Crystal Palace ex-owner/millionaire, Mark Goldberg. I recently saw him sales repping. How the mighty have fallen.

Crewe was interesting to say the least last night.

I can only apologise retrospectively for the utter and unrelenting verbal violation that befell you on the night. unfortunately none of it made it to the website because I can't remember a single negative word said. it's a good job the audience didn't take on our unending exhortations especially as we love you really (except when you steal setlists during gigs) and if there was any notable abuse it could be considered 'in character' teasing. thanks for coming and all the kind words after/subsequently.... xx
