That's certainly the way I figured it would go.
I have nothing against either of the bands (as I don't know either of them) but was expecting a proper celebration of some sort.

As I mention above somewhere,David Thomas and Co were the support back on the Exxile tour for the twentieth anniversary.I didn't go the York gig,did they play there as well?

abridged wrote:I guess it's perceptions. always had a different take on what made the band than quite a number of the audience and all of the music press so it's probably natural after 30 years to pay homage so to speak to your influences, Hawkwind, Pere Ubu etc rather than choose contemporaries who were labeled (literally and metaphorically) together with you at a particular time. It's probably what I'd do.

Well said

I'd say great support bands and I can only hope they get something as good for the mainland gigs...

... The March Violets would be okay too

absolutely seconded, both of you ... ...

By the way. Lee seems to be MIA. He'd be gutted if he missed this.
Anybody got his no.? I don't seem to have it on my new phone.

Well done, but is yours a single room? mines for up to 3 people and I'm sharing so mine is still cheeper at £12.50

So if you see a couple of other Sisters fans (me and my friend) come say hello, I don't bite, much! (the old jokes are the best )

I'll be there the first night also.

As for the support bands, Space Ritual suit me as I understand that they are kinda more Hawkwind than Hawkwind these days.

I was also expecting someone along the lines of The March Violets though. Certainly acts that feature ex/current-members not called Wayne or Craig.

Presumably the choice was inspired by what Eldritch was listening to 30 years ago, with Pere Ubu's gig at the F Club being the best show he ever saw or something, and still unsubstantiated rumours that there were some gigs pre the first "official" show at Vanburgh that featured a version of Silver Machine.

I'm holding out for a couple of guest appearences, though to be honest it would have to be Marx, Hussey or Adams for it to really count, and I can't see that happening.

You forgot the obvious: Eva and Eggi. Oh and AndrewS. And probably some more equally obvious, who don't post often these days.

I'm bringing mrs fiend, her sister, and her fella.

Two weeks and six days!

I and I are to be in attendance I see.

Are we going to be wearing our name-tags?

I'll wear my Heartland t shirt to narrow it down slightly.

Heh I was thinking of wearing mine too.

Any more takers?
