Norman,

You look so handsome on that picture

Nice try. It isn't neither Norman nor me. :D

Thx, Jack. I think so. Maybe we will see us after the gig in the same pub as in May.

Is this the first time The Light have played London? So it's £31.15 on See Tickets for Islington after all the bullshit fees are added on. Ouch! I'd pay about £15 to see Hooky growl but this price isn't really floating my boat.

Nah, they played the 1234 Festival in the East End last year. I went along and the band were indeed very solid and did the tunes justice, Rowetta joined them for a few numbers. The rest of the festival was a bit grim and the site itself was a total shithole so I'm glad it's an indoor venue/individual show this time.

I'm also up for going along. Not so fussed with hearing UP again but I am a little curious about the Closer set not to mention the Viking-related piss up. I imagine I'll sort out a ticket er "closer" to the time when I definitely know what I'm up to.

It's every bit as good as UP, the band is great, but I've heard all the JD stuff now, I want to hear something else, either NO stuff or even better something original.

We already did an Unknown Pleasures show in April this year in London at the Scala, it sold out and was a top night!! So this is why this visit to London is a Closer show... But yeah I enjoyed the 1234 Festival gig as well.

Jack, any sign of any original meterial? your dad has hinted at it a few times in interviews (possibly all the same interview twisted around by different journos). I'd love to hear new stuff from you lot.

By the way, don't tell your dad, but I think you're a bit better than him on bass! spot on at the Lowry, did I spot your old RBX at the back of the stage?

16 Dec 2011, 13:02

If I wanted to see a shit JD tribute band, I'd put one of the old Digital DVDs on! :evil4:

We've been knocking around some ideas recently, some of them are really interesting, hopefully we can develop them whenever we get a bit of time. We are touring a lot so there hasn't been much time to do much up to now... My dad has his own ideas and myself and the other 3 do as well so lets see what happens with that.

And nah at the Lowry I had my new Yamaha with me as a backup bass, had to use it as well on the second night when my straplock popped off.

It's a black Yamaha BB2024:

Great bass but still does not compare with the BB1200S.

16 Dec 2011, 13:25

nice bass, a little short on frets though, I love having 24 to play with, I've used them all!

Hopefully your dad will give you all a break from touring so you can write some stuff, I know he loves being on the road, but you'll need to recharge the battries at some point.

£2000+ bass not good enough? Poor love.

16 Dec 2011, 14:56

Seriously? What was that for? :\ohwell:

Sorry to burst your ickle bubble of precious internet glory but I didn't pay anything remotely close to £2000 for it. :laugh:

16 Dec 2011, 15:17

Ahhh. Is that what was in the Yamaha flight case at the BA check-in desk in MAN last Thu morning? I thought it was a keyboard. ;)

I like the way you keep batting off these bitter old fools Jack.

Like Boycott at his best.

A quick google suggests that's the list-price. :shrug:

Cornish is right. Jim is a bitter old fool though. :laugh: :\ohwell:

If you're coming all that way I presume you're going to do more than one gig? Like, maybe, Oxford the following night?

Or are you trying to 'out-Nobby' the Nobster?

See who can pay the most money and travel the furthest for just one gig!! :nod: :laugh:

(Actually, Wolfram's probably winning that with his last-minute jaunt to Santiago for two nights!)

It may well be the list price, but I didn't pay anything remotely close to that for it.

Why does it matter, anyway? Are people that desperate for a wind-up? :\ohwell:

You're number 1 in this list because of the summercase a few years ago when you didN't appear. Flight, Hotel and ticket booked, but haven't seen a minute of the festival.

Ineffenciency quotient: Money/Gig minutes =

But You have to share the pole position with Chronovisor who came over to London from Vienna for Nool-Day 2006 without seeing the New Order-Gig the day before.

Intend to see other bands too and visit Manchester. Maybe The Stone Roses and New Order. Am I the only person in this world who visited MacClesfield/Salford and did not Manchester? :uhoh:
