Re: Borderline gig

["Paul Vallis" <paulvallis@ho...com>]

Lisa you are mine of information - thank you.  I'd buy something from you on 
ebay if I wasn't so skint.  Selling any music?
Just been checking travel arrangements, and the last train back is very 
early indeed - 10.45.  Doubt if any of the band will be making that one 
unless they have a very early stage time!
There is a later bus (National Express), which leaves at 11.30 from 
Victoria.  That's more achievable, but it doesn't get in to Bristol until 
2.20am.
Both of those options involve a change on the tube, although a taxi is 
obviously an option as well.  Any idea what that would cost?

so many questions, so little time!  (Why do I feel the need to describe 
everything I sell on eBay in such detail?!  People don't care and it takes 
me ages!)
Piecemeal reply for you Paul:

Is it a late night venue? - Yes

Or are the band likely to be finished to be able to get the last train back 
to Bristol? - And yes.  I think the band are planning on trains back to 
Bristol too, so it shouldn't be a too late one.  Some of them still have day 
jobs or some such bobbins...  When I spoke to Gerard though, he didn't know 
what time they were going on.  Usually bands go on about 9.30/10 at 
Borderline...  I think the last train to Clarks... Bristolville is about 
12.30/1am innit? Oooooh, maybe you'll sit with them in the carriage home, 
then you can sing-a-long-a Barclay James Harvest!
Where is the Borderline? (nearest tube will do!) - Mannet Street, Tottenham 
Court Road.  Walk down Charing Cross Road, when you see Foyles bookshop (its 
huge and neon-lit!) turn right and you're there.  Brilliant pub called Bunch 
Of Grapes at the end btw, so if you get lost, just ask directions to that!
Anyone else going up from Bristol? - Errr...

Anywhere close and cheap to crash for the night? - I'd offer, but I'm a one 
bed flat with two people living in it.  :o)  My tip, don't stay anywhere in 
Charing Cross Road... well, unless you like company of 'ladies of the 
night"!
As for Harvest... I'd love to hear them cover Kevin Ayers'  - Oh!  he did 
say that was on the list, but I didnt mention it coz well, frankly, I didnt 
know who he was and I couldn't be arsed to look up how to spell his surname! 
 Now I see.  Ayers, like the rock...  *d'oh!*
Right.  Will you all bugger off now!  I'm BUSSSSSSSSY!
(Just kiddin')

Evening all.

Firstly, may I take this opportunity to wish each and every single one of 
you pretty pixies a very happy, fun-packed and rockin' New Year.  
(Personally, I plan to spend mine locked in my room listening to The Smiths 
and eating beans from the tin... but you lot go ahead and have fun without 
me...)
Hope you all had as a top a Christmas as Gordon's young friend with his 
'older woman' - at 33??!!  Older??!  She's a chillllld!  Christ, it comes to 
sommin when you're even too old to be an older woman!  I used to be 33 you 
know...  Happy days...
Right then - Gerard just phoned, yes, yes he did, honest guv, sure as I'm 
standin' here...  Some news (nothing as exciting, by the way, as me getting 
the Lord Of The Rings trilogy on DVD for Christmas!  12, count 'em, TWELVE 
DVD's!!  That's me sorted for a skint January stayin in!)
First then, Rodney IS playing THE Borderline gig on January 31st.  There was 
doubt.  It's sorted out. :o)  Oh, and I'll be there this time.  Borderline's 
only up the road for me.  Wey heeeey!
Second, The Blue Aeroplanes (or at least some of them) are doing a live 
session on Monday 16th January on Gideon Coe's show on BBC6 (Sorry, but the 
name Gideon is just gay!).  Neither Gerard nor myself are sure what time the 
show is on, afternoon sometime but not sure of specific hour, but they will 
be playing a few live tunes from Swagger and generally rabbiting on about 
themselves till the DJ falls asleep...  BBC6 is a UK digital channel so I 
dont know if you can get it outside of here...?  I'm sure someone somewhere 
could tell ya!
Lastly, there's a promo that they've also been working on/asked to 
do/recording for the future that's The BA's covering 'classic' songs from 
the Harvest label.  Now then, I'd never heard of Harvest so obviously I 
thought he meant Barclay James Harvest and pi$$ed myself laughing at the 
mere thought!  I stood rapidly corrected (no sense of humour some people!) 
however and have been told that tracks will include stuff originally 
recorded by Pink Floyd, Sid Barrett (separately!), Wire, Deep Purple and 
some other bods I've never heard of.  So, don't go in search of it hoping 
for Gerard's version of... umm... that ONE Barclay James Harvest song that's 
famous, coz you'll be looking forever.
Oh - and there's a couple of reviews in Q and Uncut magazines from last week 
for Swagger.  Q gave it 4 out of 5, which apparently is one more than they 
gave it the first time round!
And that's it.  Must leave you for the scary delights of Derek Ackhora and 
Evette Fielding now.  I love Most Haunted, me!
