Title: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Simon Nicol on December 07, 2005, 03:08:13 PM The Roadmender going out of business was a disappointment to many of you living in the area, I know. For us too: it makes a great change to play a standing audience occasionally on what is customarily a theatre-style environment tour, so it's good news at least that those of you planning to come to the shoe-town gig have an alternative in the form of THE DECO. This is an English Heritage assisted refurbishment of the SAVOY as was in Abington Square, centrally located. So put it back in your diaries please - Monday February 27th. The gig was only set up yesterday evening on the way to the Dylan Project Worcester show, so the box office will be in the dark for at least a couple of days, but their website is www.thedeco.co.uk.
Nice to have some hot new News for you (and to avoid having to give the chaps an unexpected day off!) Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Andy on December 07, 2005, 03:14:49 PM Thanks for the update, Simon. Much appreciated.
Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Suzanne on December 07, 2005, 03:17:22 PM YAY! ;D Thank you Simon! :-*
Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: martin driver on December 08, 2005, 10:13:07 AM Very well done to all concerned, this is especially good news for Nuthouse and SoN. It will also come as a great relief to Ulla, who has already booked her flight from Germany to attend the Northampton date. Folkie Jen has also planned her trip over from Brest.
Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Big Dave on December 08, 2005, 11:55:30 AM Just checked the website, no confirmation on there as yet. Looks like a good venue. Am aiming to get to this one. Even if only to buy Nutts a pint ;D ;D

Thatīs right. and it means that Mr. Bunker has to cook one of his delicious meals for me on Sunday ;D {:-) Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Nuthouse on December 11, 2005, 08:50:51 AM That's a relief....
Just been forced out of early hibernation by kicks from SoN .. pile of local newspapers announcing that saying that the Roadmender had 'gone south'... >:( Then, wiping sleep from the eyes, catching up on notices to see that The Deco will be the place to be. I haven't been to The Deco myself but Abington Square is easy to find and just on the edge of the town centre so easy for train & bus stations and car parks. I still vote for the Malt Shovel for a beer or two if anyone can make it... arrange nearer the time. Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Folkie (Jen) on December 11, 2005, 09:02:33 AM That's very good news. I'll start making arrangements in January once I know my new timetable.
Jen :D Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Folkie (Jen) on January 09, 2006, 10:24:08 PM Ok, flight and accomodation are booked.
Who else is coming? Jen Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on January 09, 2006, 10:26:10 PM We'd be there if it wasn't the very day James (son) comes home from his five month round the world travels!!!
Have a great night and meetup!!! Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Nuthouse on January 10, 2006, 12:30:58 PM I am currently working on a round of golf early in the morning, Malt Shovel for lunchtime pint or two (poss Papa Cino's for a bit of lunch) then Fairport in the evening
Any takers ? Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: martin driver on January 10, 2006, 12:48:24 PM Apologies to Nuthouse and son but sadly I won't be able to make it to the Northampton gig this year. Have a terrific day, I'm sure lots of boardsters will join you and Jen (folkie) at the Malt Shovel.
(Q) Why spoil a perfectly good walk, thrashing around on a golf course. Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged!

sorry caps lock on again... well its on a monday and i'm on 2-10 but i'm sure that could be shuffled. will take a raincheck on the golf but a good feed sounds nice... Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Shane (Skirky) on January 12, 2006, 06:34:49 PM I spoke to a very nice man on 01604 602787 today, who was only too pleased to sell me one. Only one, mind, so pairs and multiples might be harder to get hold of in good spots.
Cheers Sk Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: abby (tank girl) on January 12, 2006, 06:38:59 PM cool, will check it out as its a local one.
thanks Title: Re: Northampton Gig Salvaged! Post by: Nuthouse on January 15, 2006, 05:52:20 PM Just a little bit of information for anyone coming to Northampton for the Deco gig...
There is a multi-storey car park (St Michael's) immediately behind the Deco. Car park is accessed via (you will not be surprised to hear) from St Michael's Road off The Mounts (turn left after the Fire Station-Swimming Pool-Chronicle & Echo combo) As you leave the car park on foot go towards Abington Square and the entrance to the Deco is down a broad alley virtually next to the car park's exit. Hope this helps anyone coming to Northampton who is not familiar with the car parks 'n' stuff. If anyone needs directions etc then send me an IM and I will be happy to help where possible. If anyone coming fancies golf mid-morning before a beer, grub and gig then let me know as well. |
