as a mostly-lurker..
..who was never sure of you somehow..

that's pretty much spot on for a list of mostly reasonably-known non-trainspotter bands. I'd have preferred a lot of more obscure choices but then I'm a trainspotter. whoo whoo. fairplay to you.

if I'd put in my obscure choices
I'd have spent all night trying to convince others of their prowess. Not worth it.

They can open with that, as long as they close with "I Had A Dream".

Long Ryders
ALWAYS closed with a version of "State Of Our Nation".

Sid still does.

In fact, having a think, I don't think I've ever heard Long Ryders/Coal Porters/Sid Griffin performing "I Had A Dream" live.

Have a look on Youtube and prove me wrong.

I've had a semi-bash with Spikeypickle and AA
Which was fun, and would love to meet more of the b3tans as well, even though I'm not particularly well-known! (or well-known at all, for that matter... :D) I'm re-locating to London though, touchwood, so that hsould be fun.

Not 100% sure myself - am tempted to organise one
just so I know it'll be when I'm free. Got a week off work in mid-July and want to be in London for at least some of that :)
( Maladicta, Fri 19 Jun 2009, 21:56, Reply)

I need to look at when my holiday plans are
and where Acton is, because that's where I'd be staying if I went.
That MIGHT mean I'd have to bring a non-b3tan with me.
But he knows about the internet, in fact I think he's an elegan/tg/entleman.
Provided I even get the courage to go!
I'm doing the Manc one, though.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 19 Jun 2009, 22:00, Reply)

Hey, I wouldn't worry. Normals are welcome too :)
Not sure where Acton is myself, my geography of London is most failsome; I only know the areas I've been to a few times (immediate vicinity of Waterloo and St Pancras, Camden, and Covent Garden).
