brighton gig

[kockney]

well i decided to give it a go, depite misgivings about the uber noise/tourlag inspired doodling/dodgy half-learnt cover versions etc

I cant imagine it will be a crowded gig, not in brighton where a different sort of music is more popular amnong the predominantly gay youth population, but the dome is an interesting venue. It may well fall down under the sonic attack

and as a filip. my 70 year old mother is doing a charity parachute jump that morning so it should be a day and a half

[img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img] that’s not something that happens everyday, would’ve loved to be there!

yeah, you’ve got to wonder about the logic behind touring Brighton and yet missing out on Bristol..
i’m in Cardiff, and whilst i wasn’t expecting j to make it across the severn i thought a major uk tour would head to bristol…
i’m getting a little sick of havin’ to travel cross-country to see the beast (underworld and astoria)…
it better be worth it ‘cos i too am a little worried by the prevalence of stooges material and lack of dino choones.. [img]images/smiles/converted/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/converted/mad.gif[/img]

Hi Kockney

See you at the Pavillion – I’ll make sure I spill even more of my booze on ya this time.

Please note the Brighton gig is at the Pavillion Theatre, not the Dome, and is even smaller (capacity 350). It is quite possible, having seen The Fog in London in November that they will blow the place down – seems unsuitable, but I’ll be there.

Pretty sure it will be sold out, and please note that the youth of Brighton are not predominantly gay – there is simply a sizeable gay element; not that it matters as we all live happily and broad-mindedly together – unlike some parts of the couintry! Anyway, most of the audience will be over 30! [img]images/smiles/converted/smile.gif[/img]

Brighton is not yet sold out – I got a ticket from the Pavillion Box Office today. Going to Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday and Brighton on Saturday. 2 very different venues – A friend descibes the Pavillion as ‘Tiny’ and a strange choice by J. Nevertheless, I doubt it will be as loud as The Astoria last December !

[kockney]

well if he gets all his backline in, we could all lose our hearing.

btw wherabouts is the pavilion, in the ‘pavilion’ itself? surely not?

[SludgeFeast]

No – The Pavillion is 200 years old. It looks sturdy enough, but with J in town best not take any chances.

Instead, they’ve booked the Pavillion Theatre – which is part of the Brighton Dome complex. It is next door to the Royal Pavillion, so expect some minor external damage to occur due to the noise.

[kockney]

ah great, that’s what I thought

It seems that J will not in fact be playing music on Friday, but will instead be reading a selection of his favourite poetry.

What other reason can there be for these gems found on the back of the ticket for Friday :-

"Mobile phones and pagers must be turned off, and watches silenced, before entering the auditorium". Watches silenced ?????? Are they worried that an electric watch that bleeps hourly will drown out JM&TF ?

"Latecomers will not be admitted until a suitable break in the performance". (Presumably after the main set and whilst J has a slash before the encore starts !)

Let’s hope J reads us some Pam Ayres.
