    Now, if only Alison & Will would be free for the big group photo..........




    How sweet would that be??  I think it might be a bit daunting with that many of us but you never know, maybe just maybe they will do a comp like Eden or some of us might accidentally bump into her like Union Chapel  :)

  • The Albert Hall in Manchester is an old methodist chapel complete with stained glass windows and a freaky big organ. The perfect venue, in other words: gothic and baroque. It was featured on a particularly cheesy episode of Most Haunted and is reputed to be plagued by multiple hauntings.

    I don't think Ive ever been so excited about a gig.

  • ^ That does indeed sound the ideal venue for playing/hearing this album! :)

    There seems an element of "voices from the past" about 'Tales'... if not proper ghosties and ghoulies.

  • Oooooooooh!!!! That looks amazing!!! Could be my fave venue so far after seeing Bjork's Biophilia show at MIF 11!

  • for me unusual unknown venues really adds to the excitement. that plus the orchestra. oh and being the first to hear the new album.....  :D
  • Who else is "doing the double"? Alex-f and twiity i think?



    I am indeed!
    Formerly known as alex_t.
  • I guess I'll be around most of the day after the first show before heading back to London, if 2nd night people are around. And be great to have a drink together before the first show, 'mini meet' as you say Carpy...
    (ps, can't wait to meet you!)
  • If MIF give me press accreditation for 17th, I might go. I really want to meet you there
  • Thinking of getting a ticket for the second night... But I'd be on my own... Could I hang with you frappers?

    We wouldn't have it any other way!


    A million fires before your harvest comes. To burn out.
    Wear the mask of a heathen. For the moon's lonely eyes.
  • Ooops, I seem to have a meeting for the end of my three month probationary period in my new job the day before I head off to the MIF
    shows.

    Do you think my mind will be on ensuring I become permanenent in my job?

    No, me neither! :))

    Fankoo! It'll be like when I met some of you at Manc Apollo in 2008... You were very animated!

Howdy, Stranger!
