Gigs at the Fenton?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Anybody ever been to a gig upstairs in the Fenton? I happened to be there the other day and noticed a flyer for the Lancashire Hotpots next Friday...and I couldn't resist so I nipped into Out of Step and bought a couple of tickets for me and 'our lass' :lol:

It's pretty small as I recall, spartan too.

Mind you the last time I went to a gig there was many moons ago they've probably done it up a bit since then. (Although as it's the Fenton I wouldn't bet on it...)

Heh. That's kind of what I meant when I said "spartan". Except I was being polite ;)

I've never seen a gig there, but I saw the place two years ago (almost exactly)... on one of Francis' legendary tours :wink:
Not much bigger than our front room as I recall, though painted very dark green (unlike our front room, sadly).

Of course a certain Near Meth Experience played there in 1996 too... :wink:
