Heartland

I'm putting this on as a trial to see if anyone actually wants to come...




The first (and maybe only) instalment of a new "Classic Albums Club". The chosen album will be played in its entirety in the upstairs room of the pub and anyone that wants can come along and listen to it. Afterwards it'll be a simple case of having drinks, meeting people and chatting. If people enjoy it it'll happen on a more regular basis with other classic records.

For this first instalment we'll be listening to RAW POWER by IGGY AND THE STOOGES.

The albums played at any future shindigs will be chosen because of their importance to Rock and Roll, Punk, Post-Punk and Goth - generally records that have some influence over this entire spectrum.

It doesn't cost anything and it'd be great to see lots of different faces, part of the aim of this thing is so music fans that might not usually move in the same circles can get together drink and talk. So feel free to invite friends or even come down and your own make some.

Nice Idea, shame I dont live in Leeds....

Hot damn, I think it's an excellent idea. But I'm already booked for that night :-(

Bring your date along

o.O

Great idea, but I don't get time to listen to music at home let alone bugger off to the pub and listen to an album.

I generally only ever have choons on in the car. Or when I'm on my own in the house. Sad innit?

can't you have choons on at work? not even with headphones?

i probably couldn't make it through the working day if i didn't have my music.

Nope.

Same here.....infact 90%+ of my music listening happens when I'm out and about in the motor. Not sure if that makes it sad though, no one to over rule my CD choices........more Rose of Avalanche then

I've seen this done before, run by muzak nazis - NO TALKING, NO SINGING ALONG. You could just about get away with foot tapping.

Hope yours'll be much less intimidating.

looks like a top nite out, hope it goes down a storm! "Followed by" drinking though i see... dunno if i could abstain for a whole album meself

most of my muzak listening happens on ever-delayed trains on the commute these days. at home it's mostly Derek Jacobi singing Night Garden classics... (hello there Mr Weebs)

I was gonna go with "keep a respectful ambiance during the album".

Drinking is encouraged throughout, so by the time the record's done everyone's tipsy enough to make friends!

I can see me not making it to work on Thursday if I come and that wouldn't be good. Plus after just forking out £450 for flight/hotel for a holiday I'm skint. Might do the next one if this one's a success though. Good luck.
