Anybody interested in a NMA ticket for Nottingham Rock city on the 14th? I have a spare ticket as my girlfriend doesn't see the appeal of NMA I know grounds for dumping her, but as we've booked the wedding venue don't think it would go down to well

So if you're interested PM me and we can arrange to meet at the gig and I'll hand over the ticket. It's FREE, although you may have to buy me a pint

2 days before pay day

no chance of that happening then

shit...i hadn't realised it was that soon. i was going to go; hopefull that my guest-list contact (rockcity- not NMA) would sort me out. but i'm skint and won't be any the less so next week...

anybody else going to this gig?

the ticket has now gone

How was it?
I'm going to Newcastle tonight to see them!

Aww y'poor thing! Billie Morgan is a HELL of a book.
Gig was pretty amazing - cheers to Sisx for the ticket! Definatly a LOT better than the gig at the corp in sheff, better support band too. Never realised how good Spear of Destiny are...
Off to see 'em again saturday - woohoo!

twas a good gig even got to meet Nelson while SOD where playing

Marshall looks like he should be in metal band he can play totally enjoyable gig, well apart from spilling a can of cider over some blokes boots but he bought me another so all's cool

Agreed... I had my doubts about Marshall, right up untill he started playing "Vagabonds"
They were good in Leeds last night too, as were NYAAA. I think that chameleons bloke is the only bad support they had on this tour!

Fuckin' heresy!
Was sat next to Eldritch in the Fenton before the gig; he sends everyone his regards, as does RoboChris

Manage to grab anything off the grapevine mik?

Now HOW did I miss THAT? I was in the Fenton, talking to a woman who actually owns a pair of Joy Division Oven Gloves

We were in the 'snug' bar (turn immediately left before the second set of doors).

He was in a pair of massive 'lift' boots with a grey hoody top and a cream England beanie hat pulled right down over his ears.

We weren't really in conversation but we exchanged amused eyebrow raises when a young Chinese bloke tried selling us all bootlegged DVDs and hard core Japanese pornography.....

"We like Bukkake... "

seconded- i wasn't massively keen on the tunes but they weren't bad- and he has to be one of the genuinely loveliest unassuming people in the rock business...he was apologising for having to charge for his cd's.

from the last conversation i had with our errant chairman he shouldn't have had any trouble selling it to von if it was hentai.

How did I miss the HMHB reference?

Perhaps you were too busy dipping your head in a bucket full of porridge and moaning about the hospital parking scheme?

I shall set up house next to Mr Charles Exford, complaining about pigeons, umbrellas and horses in pubs.

Where can i get my mits on(in) some jd oven gloves?

AFAIK, the lady in question made them herself..

Saw them at Newcastle last week, as good as I've seen since the late 80's. They seem to have gone more rock orientated, with a tight and loud rhythm section.
I still get irked by the need to pass on a political 'message' at every opportunity, but they sound amazing when they really get going.

no support to speak of though, had hoped for mark burgess.
