Looks like it’s sold out….anyone got any suggestions of a pre gig pub? I’ve only lived in Newcastle for a couple of years and I’ve only got a few fave pubs which are nowhere near the venue so any suggestions would be welcome so I can put names to faces….
I’ve also managed to persuade the missus to come along to see what all the fuss is about the band…

Presume there's a club night or something on afterwards in the venue?
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Good info.

Last train to Leeds is at 2058! That ain't gonna work..

So, you went to see Mr. Eldritch.
I think that's enough reason to come to this after-party.
It's only 10 minute walk from NX.

Getting ready now, should a good night hopefully!

This must be the first time The Sisters have played in Newcastle since the 1985 tour. (Not that I was there, but I know a couple of people who were)

I'm guessing they'll be on about 8pm? Don't know if anyone's heard the stage times?

If curfew is ten I'm guessing quarter past to half past eight ish.
Actually quite looking forward to seeing the Virgin Mary's again, slightly to my surprise.

So I missed the Virgin Marys, Planet Dave, you were right.

Nice venue. Couple of balconies tight over main floor.

Reminds me of the Orbit at the After Dark in Morley. One for the techno crew there.

8.10 and here we go. Let's all have fun.

Straight into Jeep. And it's different already

Von vocals string and clear. Ok it's only a minute, but we're looking good

And it is slower.

This is my first Kai show and let me say I really liked Dylan.

Kai's almost naive child like energy makes me smile though, it's different just having fun
