I've seen a few bands there (HMHB, Gong, Hawkwind to name a few) - the sound has been excellent for all of them.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Well, I never get to said place or venue on time, but, a roll call is announced, and a meeting point is agreed, and, cause we've hired a car this year, we will be meeting the rest of the heartlanders, instead of the usual banter with folks outside the venue, be it waiting to get in(maisey), or smoking during support band - main band break.
we're better than the birthday party, but not as good as motorhead, that makes us pretty damn good!!!!

I'll announce where the meet up will be nearer the time. There is a pub being done up just round the corner from the venue - not sure if it will be open in time though.

There are several other options. I still need to do a pub crawl to do a goff test on the suitability. ;D

Some still are and I reckon Leamington's gonna be one of 'em :D
I was at the forum show... they sucked...

However is the spirit of optimism I will be driving up from Teddington just in case... may well have spare seats if anybody else is mad enough....

Back now. :D

As per my F/book message to Hom, if I can get excused/deferred from doing Jury Service, I'm there. If not, I may have a slightly big issue. :(

Tell them you're Archduke bBnanastan, or that you want to go to a Sisters gig. Eitherr way you'll be dismissed on mental grounds.

Firstly Hello.........

Just found this forum.

I will be there, just live 5 minutes away from the venue, imagine my shock when i found out.


Can also agree a good sound system in place, saw Damned/Alarm Pendulum last year and Damned again this year. Wanted to see HMHB and NMA but was away.

Cheers.
