Happy Birthday Andrew :von: :notworthy: have a great day Sir! Me and Charlie will toast your health and contribution to our lives in the Head of Steam in Headingley tomorrow teatime, it's fair to say your contribution has been pretty significant. Cheers! See you on the front row next time you're any...

I stay near Glasgow and assumed I could get a direct flight to New York.... but no. I would have to change at Dublin. Not an issue for most people. But my legs don't work properly, meaning attempting that journey alone, even with airport assistance, would be ridiculously stressful. I would also nee...

... soaking in the ambience at the Brudenell, sat outside in the sunshine with Charlie , popped over for a drink and a pieminster only to discover the place all abuzz with the In Colour Festival, whatever that might be. Sounded like some indie / electronica vibes coming out the various doors, lovely...

Tonight I have been watching the northern lights from Leeds https://photos.app.goo.gl/jiwUfsZxUFsoeDb8A Something I never thought I'd see and yes, the camera enhanced it, but it's still something to stop you in your tracks. Especially if you watch Dr Who.. Wtf? That's amazing. Missed it, shame, loo...

Looking at the set list I realize I don’t know ANY of the songs at all. Does he ever play any of the old stuff? Alice, Temple, occasionally summat else. A few years back they went through a small phase of playing more than a few numbers from 84-85 per gig but thankfully they got over that. As for n...

... Weird to see that people are unambiguously excited about this. As opposed to dreading the inevitable cancellations and consequent pitchfork/torches mobs, once Von's health issues inevitably rear their heads. This is a bad move. Von should be taking a year off at least. Well Dr Blackrose, I pref...

Hope it's a different (enough) setlist than the last one I saw twice. when was the last time there was a substantial change? It depends on your definition of substantial :innocent: I could argue that it was 2018 or 1996 depending on how high is your bar Not forgetting the bunch of new songs all the...

Anywhere pre or post local(ish) I wonder? Leeds or the like? I'd love to go to New York but unless there's an upturn in arts funding this year it's a bit out of my league at the moment! ;-) Same, but they'd have to quadruple the amount they pay care assistants before I could dream of it. Ah well. S...

Amazingly we were already going to be in NYC on Sept 20th !!!! Merrisl + Mrs Merrisl for the Roll Call when we get a new thread :eek: :D :D :D Come off it mate we all know you booked the gig! Nice work soldier :lol: 8) :notworthy: must admit I've always hankered after seeing them play Radio City, f...

Setting up a new board isn't in my tool box but it's certainly in his.

Apologies Steve, I thought it was. In which case... Oi! Barry!

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what I am sure about is that you've all followed the "live news" page longer than me. Right now there are a few dates in June and two standalone dates in August and November. We're in May already, so I don't suppose we're having any ...

Technically he should be doing a short set. In drag.

Have a grand time mate.

November? Interesting. Best save a few days annual leave just in case. Not that we'd particularly need it if they PLYC!

Happy Birthday Ez, hope you had a top day

Only songs from the current era, as IMO it would make a more coherent sound. The older unreleased songs can be released on the quick follow-up album to capitalize on the first one's success :) Greatest Hits Volume 2: A Major Case of Not Bothering Yup, that's definitely worth a :notworthy: :notworth...

Happy Birthday Jan! Have a great day Sir 8) thanks for all the recordings, and still thanks for the grooviest bootleg end-credit video in existence - of course the 2006 Silver Bullet video :lol: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Seems like being born on 27 April is a precondition to making excelle...

Happy Birthday Diego have a great day you lovely bloke, cheers for all the recordings!

Nice drop of merch just been released, new and old or old and old not really sure, very groovy though ... https://www.thevirginmarys.com/store

Hoodies and a coupla tees ordered. Nice.

Thanks for the heads-up

Nope, Doommarine loves his BFG. For added visual clueage in that pic everything's gone green. So whoever says 'with a gun for a lover' and thus Temple Of Love is correct and can go next

Very ace 8) :notworthy: maybe a replica miniature stage set from the Neon Faust tour would be an idea? Or perhaps the stage set from the 1990 tour with the dustbin lids descending from the roof intermittently? (the video from Wembley Arena best illustrates this 'effect'). Anyway I'm sure you're not ...

Busy day today, the Heartland Cake Shop loves April 2nd! Happy Birthday Edu, hope you're having an excellent day Sir

Busted! Happy Birthday Sabine! with thanks to iesus for busting you! Nice work soldier! Hope you have a fabulous day Sabine

Happy Birthday Sir, have a wonderful day

No need to have reduced your reply, it was fair comment given it was your opinion, it's just music innit, everyone's opinion is correct, to them. No offence taken, it'd be moronic to do so!
