This will be at the 100 Club in Oxford Street in London on the 27th August (yes I know I have been muttering other dates, but this is the confirmed one) There will be sets from Sand Snowman, David Hughes and Tim Bowness and Alistair Murphy and my live band (coo!) will be Tim, Alistair, Simon Nicol and Mark Fletcher, plus other guests There will be a press/trade show at 4pm for a 5pm performance and a public show 7pm for 7.30 performance. all over by 10pm in time for trains home ;D Tickets are £10 each from http://www.brilliantmusic.bigcartel.com and the first 100 tickets sold will allow for attendence to both shows with buffet hospitality ( I will try to put a copy of the poster up because it's really good! Colin? Nick? help? Jude gulp! :o Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: MikeB (Mike) on July 28, 2009, 06:13:59 PM Ticket purchased. See you there!
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: jonnybrilliant on July 28, 2009, 06:33:59 PM Mike, well done - your in ;D and just to correct Jude slightly, the first 50 sold direct from us will be allowed access to the press/trade part of the event, with a meet and greet. Though this is purely optional. J

See you there Mike, and Jude :) Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: MikeB (Mike) on July 28, 2009, 08:15:15 PM Sounds like a lovely evening; I know a very nice pub nearbye, in New Oxford Street - a Samuel Smiths. See you there Mike, and Jude :) Works for me. Coming from near-York, Sam Smiths was a local brew. £1.33 a pint for the SS Old Brewery Bitter last time I was at the Hansom Cab in York. See you for a few pints just south of lunchtime?

B****er!
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: MikeB (Mike) on July 28, 2009, 09:02:26 PM Oh, I assumed you were going to the first show as well, sorry. Between gigs works just as well for me :)
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: jude on July 28, 2009, 09:13:08 PM Sorry I missed out a vital link for the booking thing
should be http://www.brilliantmusic.bigcartel.com (I was sure I put the http bit in.. oh well! ::)) Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Anji on July 28, 2009, 09:39:36 PM Huzzah! ;D {:-)
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Dan O. on July 29, 2009, 01:36:37 AM My other half and I are the managers of The Blue Posts, 81 Newman Street, a Samuel Smiths pub which is just around the corner from the 100 Club. The Blue Posts has been the official pre-show pub for the 100 Club for years (they gave passouts from the club before they had their own bar). We've also received good reviews from beerintheevening.com, guys, and we're much closer to the venue than The Crown in New Oxford St. (and we serve Samuel Smiths Old Brewery Bitter on handpump !)
We would love to invite any Talkawhilers, musicians, punters etc. to The Blue Posts for drinks pre and after show on the 27th August for Jude's album launch - this should be a really great night, looking forward to it already ! Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Chris on July 29, 2009, 09:43:50 AM I'm in for both shows hopefully - can I bring my camera? (pretty please!)
Sorry, Jude, I corrected that link before reading your later post.... Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: ThomA on July 29, 2009, 10:29:42 AM Day after my 30th. Should be a good'un.

That sounds fine, Dan, happy to change.

Interviews, and meet and greets will take place there, and thanks to Dan and his team for the very kind invite. So thats where we will all be hanging out on gig day ;D
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Nick on July 29, 2009, 12:30:59 PM I think that's the wrong one, Keith. There seem to be a few "Blue Posts" in London. I think this might be the right one, on Newman Street...
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/69/6987/Blue_Posts/Fitzrovia I like the quote: Quote full of postmen,.....not necessarily a bad thing,..ima just sayin is all.... We shall do our utmost to be there :D At the gig, that is. I'll need to negotiate time off work if we're going to get to the pub beforehand though. Cheers Nick Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Keith on July 29, 2009, 01:25:15 PM I think that's the wrong one, Keith. There seem to be a few "Blue Posts" in London.

I'll go with the flow. Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Dan O. on July 29, 2009, 06:22:15 PM Yes, Nick, the correct Blue Posts is at 81 Newman Street, W1T 3ET, round the corner, spitting (or indeed pogoing) distance away from The 100 Club. It'll be great to see everyone there !
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Tim Fletcher on August 03, 2009, 11:24:20 PM Two more will be attending - nicely timed as we are off to Edinburgh the next day to see daughter #2 at the Fringe.

Really? What mode of transport are you using?

Really? What mode of transport are you using? I have a horrible feeling that I am missing something here, but we will be off to Edinburgh by train. I'll be walking to the 100 Club. Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: MikeB (Mike) on August 04, 2009, 12:57:06 PM No, not missing anything, I just wondered if you were driving and had a spare seat :)
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Tim Fletcher on August 04, 2009, 02:53:29 PM No, not missing anything, I just wondered if you were driving and had a spare seat :) Aha! Well it was before I had had my caffeine intake for the morning. Sadly not I'm afraid - we are placing our trust in National Express. But we will have been uplifted by the previous evening's entertainment so it won't be too bad.* Hope you find alternative travel arrangements. * note subtle redirection back on topic ;) Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Chris on August 11, 2009, 10:41:15 AM Should I have had my ticket yet?
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: jude on August 11, 2009, 03:16:42 PM I will ask!
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: jude on August 11, 2009, 04:48:49 PM Should I have had my ticket yet? Tickets will be sent out 7 days before the gig... Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: Chris on August 12, 2009, 10:01:36 AM Thanks, Jude - but is that wise with the Royal Mail workers regularly taking strike action?....
Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: davidmjs on August 12, 2009, 03:35:19 PM Have sadly had to admit defeat with getting to this....have a long-standing engagement with Hawkwind and a bunch of 6th form chums I (mostly) haven't seen in a quarter of a century the following day and my life wouldn't be worth living if I tagged this on to my trip as well.
I'm sure it will be fab. Enjoy everybody... Title: Re: Talking With Strangers Launch Gig Post by: jonnybrilliant on August 12, 2009, 05:07:42 PM Hello everybody, this will be entrance by e-ticket, all of which I will email on 20th August. If you haven't had yours by by 21st, tough you can't come....Only joking! send me a mail. Very good point Chris, hence the decision to do e-tickets.
I shall see various of you at Cropredy I'm sure. J |
