Re: Borderline gig

[Lisa Ash <chipaway@th...freeserve.co.uk>]

Taxis between tubes aren't too much - about a fiver or sommin I would 
say... taxi to Victoria from Tott Crt Rd, I have no clue, no more than 
a tenner!  Try www.megabus.com too - reaaaally cheap bus travel to and 
from Bristol (I do it for a quid sometimes!) and they run quite late at 
night (again, to and from Victoria).
Why dont you Bristol people all converse and one of you drive down?  
That would seem the sensible thing to do... even hire a van??!  You've 
all met each other, It cant be that frightening a thought!  Go on guys, 
be brave and have a little road trip!
Cant help you on eBay - unless of course, I can interest you in a pair 
of very cool size 12 skater flares?!  No?  You sure?  Verrrrry handy 
for hanging with the lads down on College Green!
That'll be a glass of Chenin Blanc when yer ready...

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!
