Looking good, G.
Does this usually sell out?
Mick

usually between 98 to 100% full.

(ie maybe just a couple of rooms that no-one else wants)

G

I should add that the Butlins site is currently doing 2012 weekenders on a slight offer. (although we got our tix on diescount when we rebooked last January before we left there.

Try and catch Debbie Bonhams set G, and check some of her stuff out if you haven't heard her before.

Got Alice Cooper in Glasgow this week, looking forward to it an managed to get a few Alice virgins to go.

Maybe see you there C/R looking foreward to seeing Alice.

NY Dolls with Kenny Aaronson on bass opening. Should be a great show.

Mark

W/g Hope to see you there too. Also look out for Bowie guitar player with the New York dolls, Earl Slick was in the nand the last time Iooked

I aim to unless she clashes with Muddy's boy. There are some other good names on although I have seen them before so would forgo to see Mud.

It will be one of the Hamsters last shows as they aim to fold at Easter.

Larry Miller stole the show playing after midnight in the much smaller bar.

Roger Chapman hasn't exactly got the some voice as when he was in Family , but is still worth seeing.

If I don't miss anything else I will see the Animals, but despite the fact that they are pretty good, it annoys me immensely that Eric is not with them and yet they will keep going on about how "original" they are (just John Steel really original).

The New York Dolls played a small club date in Melbourne a few weeks ago. The first time myself and a few friends heard about it was after the event when a review appeared in the papers. There was no advertising or general publicity that we had seen. Apparently they were up in Sydney for a festival and you had to virtually be in the know to hear about their Melbourne show.

Looking forward to both Birkenhead and Salford gigs!

Just booked flights to the USA to see Jason & The Scorchers on New Years Eve in Nashville - seemed a better option that the usual lock in at the local pub on New Years Eve.
Also seeing them a week later in Raleigh before heading home.

My next gig will be The First Church of the Sacred Silversexual's David Bowie extravaganza at Kimo's in San Francisco November 18th. My son is the guitarist - he's got Ronson's licks down pat. This is what law students do in their spare time?
