That's why they called it Halifax.

I was rather thinking of Nova Scotia, but fair play.

Doubt there's too many in Canada who say stuff like "eh up mrs pustlethwaite, come and feed m' whippet"

Well, Nova Scotia does mean "New Scotland" in Latin. Not sure why the hell they chose Latin over Ingerlish when the naming process happened....

If they'd called it new Scotland, they'd have to start deep frying maple syrup.

EDIT, the excellent chippie down the road started flogging all the choccie tempura crap recently, twas a shock, until the boss dandered out to hand me my cod..."alright pal", as thickly as Billy Connolly. I believe the Scots eat such nonsense because a massive overdose of hot sugar and fat, while dangerously unhealthy to those of us in milder climes, is all that stands between them buggers and hypothermia.

Well now, but I hear he's tram resistant ;)

Joy Division once played at the Good Mood Club in Halifax. This was reputedly only attended by one person who left before the end of the set.

Based on this, I can't see them wanting to return to Halifax in a hurry. It would be really good for them to play an outdoor gig in the Piece Hall.

Oh and I wonder if that audience member could be found.

Note the only band that plays a the Piece HAll is a Pink Floyd tribute band, Civic thanks!

Well not quite. I believe Rick Wakeman performed there once. As for the Civic/Victoria Theatre, I hav'ent been enticed into there for music since Stiff Little Fingers performed ca. 20 odd years ago. OK there's been Embrace (jurys out on them), Mozza & now Charlatans but I find it hard to remember anyone else of note. Most of the Mozza tickets went to scuzzy kids who wanted to trade-up on ebay for Arctic Monkeys tickets.

The shire of York is is the next immediate county east of the shire of lancaster,surely you remember how we kicked some Lanc arse in the war of the roses!

They MUST have played at Leeds. Everyone's played at Leeds!

That's fighting talk in Hull!

and that's another can of worms! Beverley Playhouse about to be converted into a shoe shop or something!

Why the hell would ANYBODY want to tour Yorkshire?!! As they say, the best thing to come out of Yorkshire is the M1!

Notice you don't say the M62, why because it's going somewhere worse?

Yes, Liverpool!!!

Bradford Caesars (19.3.84) has got to be one of the best gigs ever. First playing of Face Up. Temptation and Everything's Gone Green merge into one. Massive Blue Monday. (And my first of 24 NO gigs). Leeds Tiffany's in January 1985 was pretty good too, with Happy Mondays supporting. Very early airing of new Low Life material. New Order's Yorkshire gigs have been some of their best.

Leeds was my first gig, not many memories too pissed too young too overawed. Seen them five times in Yorks and five times the wrong side of the pennines,in football terms MUFC 0 YORK 3.

James Thomas wrote: I was thinking along the lines of a proper tour not just the odd one off date that some might find hard to get to. So Halifax, Bradford , Leeds , Sheffield, York & Wakefield followed by a weekend residential at Batley Variety club.

NO playing Fibbers! Or even better: Bootham (or KitKat) Crescent.

Oh the grand old duke of York He had 11 men He marched them up to old trafford and shat on Ferguson And when there was 1 there was 1 and when there were 2 there were 2 And once we'd banged the third one in we knew we'd done man u.

You go to any games? I'm a season ticket holder and have been to all bar two away games this season. Ever heard of Ukranian Phil? Massive NO/JD fan and probably the best known online personality in non league football (when he hasn't been banned)
