With many thanks to @Gothicbiff looks like I'll be here.

Which is nice.

Looks like it’s sold out….anyone got any suggestions of a pre gig pub? I’ve only lived in Newcastle for a couple of years and I’ve only got a few fave pubs which are nowhere near the venue so any suggestions would be welcome so I can put names to faces….
I’ve also managed to persuade the missus to come along to see what all the fuss is about the band…

Looks like a 10pm curfew.

Presume there's a club night or something on afterwards in the venue?

Cool…the thought of a late night kills me nowadays

Good info.

I may well get the train back to Leeds and save the hotel.

Later.....
Last train to Leeds is at 2058! That ain't gonna work..

Shall be attending! There is a club night afters...

The Sister of Mercy Afterparty.
So, you went to see Mr. Eldritch.
I think that's enough reason to come to this after-party.
It's only 10 minute walk from NX.

Getting ready now, should a good night hopefully!

This must be the first time The Sisters have played in Newcastle since the 1985 tour. (Not that I was there, but I know a couple of people who were)

I'm guessing they'll be on about 8pm? Don't know if anyone's heard the stage times?

Wishing you all a stonkingly good night

Train just left Leeds..

Blimey that sounds more than a little like leaving it late

Thanks for that! I nearly panicked then when I saw the time on your post! And mine for that matter

If curfew is ten I'm guessing quarter past to half past eight ish.
Actually quite looking forward to seeing the Virgin Mary's again, slightly to my surprise.

Mate, half past five is too late to be travelling up to Newcastle to a gig I mean, I guess technically it's not, but blimey talk about living by the seat of your pants

Just saw it’s another sold out gig

Have a top nite oot HLanders!

Doors are long open, The Virginmarys should be quite into their set ... enjoy the show everyone and have another lovely party tonight ... ...

So I missed the Virgin Marys, Planet Dave, you were right.

Nice venue. Couple of balconies tight over main floor.

Reminds me of the Orbit at the After Dark in Morley. One for the techno crew there.

8.10 and here we go. Let's all have fun.

Straight into Jeep. And it's different already

Von vocals string and clear. Ok it's only a minute, but we're looking good

And it is slower.

This is my first Kai show and let me say I really liked Dylan.

Kai's almost naive child like energy makes me smile though, it's different just having fun
