Sure, didn't our Lord himself on the cross pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world? :pac:

This is going to be epic!

The Good Ship has a super secret headliner this Bank Holiday Monday, might be worth heading along for a look, only £4 in advance, £5 on the door...

Anyone going to Hyde Park to see Soundgarden & Faith no More next month?

Reekwind

Any trip-hop fans in the house? UNKLE are playing a one-off show this Friday at the Southbank. Looks quite tasty.

Seen them a few yrs back, awesome live!! It's a rare treat!

Reekwind

Yeah, big fan but never seen them live. So very keen on this if anyone is interested.

I've already seen it, but if anyone is interested in seeing Ghost Stories, Time Out have half-price tickets (£19.50 down from £39).

Reekwind

So apparently there's some kind of Twitter-powered treasure hunt in London this weekend. There are worse excuses to wander around the city in the sun.

Apparently you can pick up £2.50 tickets to Arcade Fire next Thursday in Hyde Park here: https://bst-hydepark.axs.com/event/29zi6iw3i5nbw9xv/price/0fb7b452645

I'm still waiting on my confirmation, but this suggests they'll honour them: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/british-summertime-hyde-park-joyous-music-fans-keep-2-50-tickets-sold-error-1454443

Anyone going to Black Sabbath in Hyde Park next Fri?? Mainly going for FNM & Soundgarden though...

Zippy1991

Guy I sit beside in work is trying to shift 4 tickets to this.

£25 each.

Think the RRP is £55.

Just in case there's any Irish interest!!

PM me and I can put ye in touch.

exiledelbows

You sure he didn't get them for £2.50 and he's trying to turn a profit?

Hi lads,

A number of months a member of Shane McGowan's former band (The Popes) was struck by a hit and run and left with serious brain injuries. Shane is hosting a benefit gig in Camden Town for him. I know Paul and the Popes quite well and this is definitely a worthy cause and a chance to see some fantastic bands as well.

For those that are going to this, does anyone know if there's a dress code? I mean, do people generally turn up in costume? (And I don't mean as one of the Supremes.)

Got an e-mail from them this morning strongly encouraging costumes.

Bugger. I'd better get myself a 'I shot JR' t-shirt quickly then...

You should go as the Dancing Priest!

Reekwind

I do have the moves. It may be that or Eoin McLove, with his happy face

I got my nun costume today, not sure if any of the nun characters are distinctive enough for me to be a particular one though. Unless someone knows where I can get some Easter Eggs in July?

exiledelbows

Just cover your face in chocolate, they'll know
