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

Corleone's Cabs are very reasonable.

Heeeeey! I have heard that there is a (possibly free?!) pre-party - playing (mostly 80s/90s by the playlist on the poster) goth and alt music at the Robbins Well (downstairs) from 6pm to start then after the gig.. sounds like an ace wind up to the gig to me!!

Is anyone getting there early and meeting up? perhaps this would be a good place - its near the venue and the (cider +black drinking) park!!!


Yay it would be great to be in a pub playing good music again! So rare these days!

:D

BTW I think none of us have any idea of how f'in excellent this gig is gonna be - the assembly is such a good venue for audience, but more so for artists - a big pink tammy wynette caravan is in the dressing room and the venue lends even the weak guys a massive presence - some what-woudl-be-awful bands from london were on and looked like legends - my only worry is that all our minds will be blown by sheer presence! And they have an ace smok machine and crystal clear white lights! Yay!

I may be mistaken, but I think the Sisters bring their own smoke machines and lights. :lol:

There is one but it smells of vomit and stale urine stained slacks. :|

It sounds like mid-afternoon still needs to be decided. Or we could do the whole afternoon/early evening meet up at Robins Well, where the goff pre-gig vibe is at.

Does that mean they're not adverse to the "none more black pound"? :wink:

I have to decline this gig due to airfares being extortionate.
Hoping for a few US dates though.

Is it just me or is there more of a buzz about this gig than there has been associated with a Sisters' UK date in a good few years?

They do say hope exists above all else... :wink:
