GiNGER TO PLAY GUiLFEST + BiRMiNGHAM WARM-UP DATE

[vickyp]

Are the Asylum not promoting it themselves though?

If it weren't for the Sorry and the Sinatras / Eureka Machines gig there last year, I wouldn't even know the venue existed, and I live within a 30 minute walk of it!

It amazes me how little promotion people do sometimes, when it doesn't take that much effort to reach people who really want to know about the thing you're promoting.
...and on the flip side of that I've just had 2 really long e-mails from a venue I very rarely go to in a city I don't even live in.

If I get time later I'll have a look at putting a web flyer together. Shall I take it that S&tS aren't playing anymore?

There's not been official confirmation, but I would yeah. Between not being on the Facebook page, on the Guilfest line up anymore, and the Underworld date that disappeared as quickly as it was announced, it looks like another UK trip buggered for them.

@scottsorry Are you still supporting Ginger at the Birmingham show on 9 July?

scottsorry No, we couldn't get enough dates to make it work so we're putting together a longer tour later in the year. We'll get there soon!

[vickyp]

Here's a quick flyer I've put together. Am sure I can do better but I'm knackered right now. Will try to improve on this later when I have more time. Also does anyone know when the gig at the Asylum starts? Couldn't find a door time to add to it.

What an incisive piece of Twitter interrogation that was...What genius could have crafted such a newsworthy tweet????

I like it. The only thing I might suggest, is that you make the Birmingham Asylum at the top bigger (maybe drop the Vix star down a bit so you can have the writing all the way across?) and the Guilfest at the bottom a bit smaller as it draws the eye from the actual venue.

Don't know, some bloke called Nick I think. But it's OK, he's not on here, so I'm pretty safe to nick it.

Well, you won't see me there but I hope to see some of you at Guilfest... if anyone's going for the weekend, pack the wet weather gear for Saturday, it's going to be a monsoon...

Oh are you going? Cool - see you there then!

[Ean]

Aye. It's only up the road, relatively speaking, so it'd be rude not to.

[vickyp]

Am very jealous of all you lucky people tonight! Hope you all have fun and don't forget to buy Nick a birthday pint.

(Incidentally I didn't think it was worth putting the doors time on the poster because until Ean posted I'd heard 3 different times ranging from 6.30pm to 10pm! Anyway, too late to change it now...)

[Damian]

How was last night?

Will let you know how tonight's Guilfest performance went on Sunday.

Nice venue (never been before). Nice to see Bexx back with Vix (temporarily). Tragedy were very well received, I enjoyed them as much as last time. And Ginger was awsome, in fine form. My mate b0ought hima beer (on stage) and got him to sing "Thats what I want". We had a guy (?Lard?) read out a poem which Ginger seemed touched by (we all were). Only knock was it ran late; we had to leave at 23:30 as our parking ticket was seriously expired, they had just gone into "Drinking in the Daytime". Set to then was all solo stuff; what I can remember songs played were (in no order) "Man who cheated Death" "This is Only a Problem" "10 Flaws Down" "Thats what I want" "Mother City" "Yeah Yeah Yeah" "When she Comes" "Black Windows".
