OFFICIAL EV VOXGATE

Wednesday, 25 March 2009

We’re very pleased to announce that the Official Extreme Voice 'Return to Eden' Voxgate will take place in Hammersmith, London on Friday 24th April 2009, from 4.30 until 7.30pm. We've booked a room that gives EV exclusive private use at a very reputable eatery and bar, located approximately 10 minutes' walk from the Hammersmith Apollo venue.

The room holds approximately 150 people, although we are expecting a large number to want to attend the Voxgate as the first London concert has attracted many people from all over the world. Due to the limited nature of the space, the event will be ticketed - you must present your ticket at the door, to be given entry on the day.

Tickets are free, and available on a first come first served basis by emailing us at voxgatehammersmith@yahoo.co.uk, with your name, postal address and the number of tickets needed (maximum of 2 per person). Full details of the venue location will be forwarded to those who are sent tickets.

Please do not use any other email addresses usually associated with contacting Extreme Voice about this event. Only mails received at voxgatehammersmith@yahoo.co.uk will be answered in respect of tickets or queries.

We can also now reveal that Davy, Mike and Don from 'Monument' have agreed to play a small intimate set at the event. Following the rapturous reception at their Oxford gig in February, it is anticipated to be a very special set performed by them and will give everyone an opportunity to see the band up close and in action.

We’re looking forward to a having a wonderful afternoon on April 24th and to seeing many of you there.

All the best,
Cerise, Rob and Paul
