Factory Night (Again) @ Plan K, Brussels, Saturday 15th December — Forum Archive

Section 25 Kevin Hewick The Names Crispy Ambulance Martin Moscrop (Afterparty DJ Set)

What more does anyone need?

Just set this thread up to avoid any possible confusion with the now cancelled Amsterdam gig.

Gig details....

Plan K hasn't hosted gigs for c.20 years but it was a landmark site from the original Factory (& many other UK indie labels) excursions into mainland Europe. Orange Juice's one and only overseas gig was at Plan K. Gigs often arranged by one Anik Honore which led to a liason with the singer of some English outfit.

Consequently this is somewhat of a nostalgia fest and gratitude is shown to the promoter Frederic Cotton for possessing the desire and willing to bring this era back to life.

Have booked Eurostar, hotel and gig ticket all for under £100 in the last 24 hours, so this pre-xmas weekender is not gonna blow the bank.

Good job we've got a cheap hotel, we might not need it! :p

Will Danny's Mrs stop him going at the last minute though? :skeptic: :lol:

Good news about Hooky, mind.

Been wondering why ACR aren't playing this though? And it's just Moscrop dj'ing? Thought this would be the perfect vehicle for them.

It's hard work to do every evening the same. A change would do surely good.

I don't really know. We proposed ACR and Durutti Column to take part to the event but unfortunately, it wasn't possible. Nevertheless, the programme is more than exciting to me. Yes, Martin Moscrop should just DJ during the afterparty... But surprises are possible...

The rest of ACR have probably got their office Xmas parties that night? :eek3: :evil4:

It's official. I'm easily led and have no will power whatsoever. :nonono:

30 Aug 2007, 11:48

What a perfect bill. I wish I could go.

ACR would've been nice, but their lineup is so different now I'd have a hard time imagining them doing a "nostalgia" gig like this. Hell, Simon doesn't even sing anymore.

ACR have actually had the same line-up since perhaps 1985?

They're more consistent than most!

Last major player to leave was Connell, for Swing Out Sister. Topping was gone way, way before that.

We were chatting to Tony Quigley in Paris last year and he still called Liam the 'new boy' - he's been in the band 20 years now! :lol:

Well, yeah, but I think you get what I mean. We're talking about Factory bands that played in Belgium back in 1979-80.

The current Crispy Ambulance could play "Are You Ready" and get away with it. Section25 doing "New Horizon" I can see as well (though I have a hard time imagining them doing "Looking from a Hilltiop", and yes I know it's in their current sets). But the current ACR doing "All Night Party"? Not so much. They're just not the same band.

That said, I'd love to fly to Brussels for this gig... but I blew all my money on piss-ups in Brazil last year.

For anyone who doesn't fancy/cannot afford this, i have spares for the Chemical Bros on the same night in Brixton. (PM if interested)

Same for the delivery to Germany.

Great !

As you can see, the Plan K is located at the Manchester street. Quite amazing...

Moreover, the Plan K is an ancient Factory...

@Confusion: On your forum, I could see some people asking about the afterparty. People having a concert ticket have nothing to pay. The fee of 10€ is for people who come for the party only (starting around midnight).

Thx for the info, Fred. I will post it there.

Manchester street indeed... Not to be confused with Liverpool street which is just across the canal !

:crazy:

Are you sure there isn't a bus stop called 'Wilson' around the corner, Fred?

4 Sep 2007, 00:15

Booked tickets

Will plan how to get there closer to the time.

How easy is it to get from Paris to Brussels? I can fly straight there from Aberdeen.

Or mebbe get the party started early by joining the Larndon Ordah the day before.

(If we've not all fallen out over badges by then!)

I'm not :) It might be a suggestion for the Molenbeek's mayor :idea:

Very easy. It takes 1h20 from Paris Nord to Brussels Midi/Zuid with the Thalys train.
