Well we used to blow up everything nice we got I suppose :D But we're mates now honest ;)
I actually want tostart a company just so I can put an advert n saying "not available in England" ![]()
The trick with mail order companies is to play dumb and see if they are dumber. Just stick in the BT postcode and UK. Leave the Ni bit out cos not everyone in the other places always writes their country. Works a treat sometimes...particularly with those bastards who just stick a flat £30-50 paddy tax on everything...including I might add....a single stick of ram that came in an envelope LOL.
Even the Waterfront Hall would be a good venue for them to play. Great acoustics and doesn't stink of Stella.
I wonder if I've time to book them for a show in my bedroom a la Foo Fighters.![]()

OK it doesn't stink of stella.....but how much acid do you take at gigs there man, the accoustics are hilarious. Mind you I doubt the building starts coming apart like the Apollo LOL.
Gotta be the ulster hall ![]()
Crusade to the brown isle in October it seems, my bog brothers.

You really are clueless arent you? Speaking as someone who has actually been there, and seen New order, The Waterfront Hall would be the worst venue in the world for them to play. We've actually had this discussion before.
Hope they play Manc again :) , looked on ticketmaster just now only other date besides liverpool i can see is wolverhampton civic hall on 29/10/06 :(

Good for you. I've seen the Manics and KT Tunstall there as well. Nice to see we have something in common.

Whoope whoo. Must have missed that discussion. At the gigs I was at, the sound was great and they were two memorable gigs. So I thought it would be a good venue.
Nice to see I can piss you off on a Monday morning. Shows you can't live without me.
£32.50 a ticket by the looks of things. Call that £40 after booking fee and postage. Robbing bastards.
Tis a bit steep innit! Five dates at forty quid a time, plus hotels and travel, do they actually want any of us to bother coming to see 'em?
Saying that, its still a few quid cheaper than last years dates. Not much mind. And the same price as Morrissey tickets.
Prob going to get my tickets over the phone, and then organise to pick them up at the venue.

Never seems to work online - they must do it using the postcode. And I can't leave the postcode off for 2 reasons - it'll fail the credit card address check and there is another street in Belfast with the same name as mine - no postcode means the deliveries go to the other one.
30 quid I was quoted for a TFT monitor the other day. Considering I'm about to ship my 18-20kg bass combo amp back to England for less than that, there's a bit of highway robbery going on somewhere.
Doesn't excuse the 'Order for not coming here - it's not like they're being posted over! Heh - Postal Order ![]()

very excited here
Don't get too carried away. If there's as many as six dates I will be astounded! The usual towns will get their show, i.e. London, Manchester and Glasgow (probably) and we already know about Wolverhampton.

No Manc this time around, I don't think?

What sort of double negative is that? Is it designed to provoke? not?

How do you mean, what sort of 'double negative' is that?!
How many different sorts of double negatives are there?!
To re-phrase, I don't know the full details of the tour. But I do not think there's a Manc date amongst the venues they're playing.
You might not have to travel too far though.

Sorry. Just couldnt quite work that one out in all the excitement. But not too far to travel? Hmmm. Could be Brackley Conservative club in Swinton again!

now....throw a few American dates for us NO cult memebers in America, please?
I agree, it would be nice if they came back to the states and did a tour. I just hope that if that does happen, that they would make stops in other areas besides the west coast and the north east. Would like to not have to drive 8+ hours to see them concert.

where did you get this info from?
Uncle Liam wrote: Well, that would be saying!
Its not where you think it is, although of course HE did phone me up to moan last night that I'd posted!
Er, even though the info didn't come direct from him! ![]()
Got it from a mate who's a promoter and record company owner in Scotland. He's posted here a couple of times (years back, mind) and was at the QEH with us.

Are these the warm-up gigs for a full and big german Tour with Duesseldorf as only concert? :D
Close, but it's a warm-up for a big US tour with Rochester, NY as the only gig! OK, maybe not. I've come to grips with the fact that I'll most likely never see New Order live. But since they seem to like the smaller venues, we have plenty of those in Rochester. I'm sure the Water Street Music Hall would be available.
