FINAL UPDATE FOR GIG

GIG UPDATE - SAT JULY 24th
TYNEMOUTH SAILING CLUB

So heres the final crack


It seems that IF the gig is indoors, there may be some tickets still available on the day at £10 which includes Fish n Chips! They say 'may' because they're not sure, a fair few tickets left at this moment but they 'may' sell in the coming days.



Of course, as you were, if the weathers fine they're gonna frog march us up onto the roof at 9pm and play, so you'll be able to stand on the beach willy-nilly!

New songs, old songs and the old vintage WEM PA gets dusted down for the pleasure!

Lets face it, anything could happen. Someone please come down and video it for the You Tubes, very bloody picturesque it is as you can see.



Maybe see some of you there :O)

Wish us luck

YET MORE GIG UPDATES 24th JULY

Thought a picture of the setting for the gig on 24th July would be of benefit. Its Tynemouth Sailing Club, obviously just below the ruins at Tynemouth and we'll be playing on the white two-storey roof, weather permitting. If its poor we'll be inside and Joe Public won't be able to attend.
So scan the pic, plenty of public access available, you just walk down from Tynemouth main strip. Weather forecasts to follow, maybe even the shipping forecast....Dogger, maybe 4,5, occasionally 6, moderate later.....

Ciao for now

MORE GIG UPDATES 24/7

And so it seems that decree has been passed by the committe at Tynemouth Sailing Club (venue revealed right there) and guests are NOT permitted at the gig on 24th July. This means people are not allowed INTO the club, because everyone going has paid for the event and they don't want interlopers, which is fair enough.

So, basically we have a situation where the weather is king.

If the weather is poor, the gig will be in the club and no-one will be able to come and see it

BUT

If the weathers fine, and those cruel people make us play on the roof, it seems folk can come and watch us play on the beach, (cos that's where the audience will be) on the premise that they then don't proceed into the club. I haven't been yet but there are apparently many vantage points where the set can be viewed from that are quite public, so maybe a protest can be arranged, placards and banners and people with torches! Or even people on porches?

So that's the basic idea. I understand where they're coming from but I really want to see you chaps there but I know it's tough, given that if it starts pissing down at 8pm, it'll be indoors and you won't see it. I guess I have to leave it all up to you folks to make a decision.

The set is due to begin at 9pm although I may petition for an 8.45pm start as we currently have a 14 song set mapped out, with new songs and everything!

I'll keep you updated on that

I'm planning a recce to the venue soon to see how vantageous the vantage points are

More soon

Cheers
Andy
