Purplestock



I'm organising a gig in memory of Jessie, featuring a few local bands (including both of mine), and some other bands from further afield, including The Haiku, who everyone at last year's Derby bash enjoyed hugely.

The venue's sorted, I'm working on some cheap room rates for people at either the local Jury's Inn or a small B&B round the corner. Only thing that's not finalised is the lineup, but so far it's looking like:

Low Down Dogz - classic rock covers
Blyth Curse
The Haiku
Matt Stevens
NekroPolitik
Le Chat Noir
Skullfunk

There might be a couple of short acoustic sets too...

Don't rely on this though: as I said, it's subject to change.

Admission's going to be £5, for that there'll be at least 7 bands. All the profit's going to be split between charities that Jess supported; so far I'm thinking it'll be the NSPCC, Colwyn Bay RSPCA (where we got our dog), and the Big Cat Trust in Welwyn (home of Nina the Snow Leopard).

There's a facebook event here, and I've created a group on there as well.

How very League of Gentlemen of you :)

I'll take that as a no, then.

Fortunately, I've just been asked to present BBC Sports Personality of the Year, so I'll do that instead.

In your dreams, trampy

That's MY gig, shouting at folk. I've got a HAT.

Love you,

Dr.W.

You should see the hat I've got lined up for your bash.

Needless to say, it's got a chinstrap to deter covetous thieves/opportunists, and I shall have to move to and from the venue with it in a carrier bag, or risk being frisked for potential terror offences.

Anyone coming from Oxford and want a lift?

Gaz me and we can arrange.

( Neon Blue Ah ha ha haa! I feel positively capital!, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 12:51, Reply)

I mentioned this on /board just now, thought I should say it here as well:

I'm driving from Dundee on Saturday morning, if anyone who wants to go lives on the way and is looking for transport, gaz me.

I can only offer a lift on the way down, because I'm going to visit friends and family for a couple of days on the way back, but it's better than nothing.
