Yeah we'll be doing the queue thing so most likely will see you afterwards, don't know if there's any plan for where yet? Pretty dead in here at the moment though! :lol:

I'm happy to make it the Turing Tap if there are no other suggestions?

Popped in for a pint, it was deader than a dead thing with a degree in death from rigor mortis university, and then a fight broke out. Two lads going for each other, chucking tables. So I'm on the move again!

Whatever happened to The Salisbury near Oxford Road Station as a pre concert meeting place? I would be there now if I wasn’t a flu ridden wreck. I had a ticket for The Sisters tonight too!

Fine for the Ritz but a bit far for the Academy.

Another belter. If I had to choose I'd say Nottingham was marginally stronger, but perhaps that was because it was the first time I'd seen this particular configuration (shorter set, post-illness, Duncan Kilburn, etc).

Ah, I was tired and ended up deciding to save myself for a blow-out in Glasgow. Plus I'd 2 complimentary drinks at my hotel bar I didn't want to waste! At least that's what I'm telling the judge.

It was an amazing night. Loved every second of it
Ruffers and I were among last to leave...we were talking to Ben. And Ruffers had to get train back home.
Hopefully we'll all be doing it again next year!

My over-riding impression was Von sang more than on recent tours. Nice.
