We’re very pleased to announce that the official Ultravox tribute band 'Monument' will play their second southern England show in central Oxford on Saturday February 14th 2009. Titled ‘Weerheedindoonsoothe’, the band will perform a special set at an exclusive private party for Valentines Night and will be supported by 'Partyfears3’.

For those wanting to experience the shape and the power of 'Monument' but have (perhaps) been prevented in the past by distance, this is an ideal opportunity to see Mike, Davy, Sleepy and Tommy up close and in action.

We are very pleased to announce that we have twenty pairs of tickets available for EV forum members who wish to attend. Entry is free, but strictly by invitation only and dependent on a valid pass being presented at the door on the night.

Tickets are available on a first come first served basis by e-mailing me at hitchcp@excite.com in the first instance. Full details of the location and venue will be forwarded in due course to those wanting to attend.

Look forward to seeing a few of you there.



Regards,


Paul

Sadly I cant make that date - from the video footage I would love to catch a live show.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to this one.... not only getting down in the first place but I'm photographing a wedding the following day and won't be able to get back up in time!

Hope the gig goes well.... Have a ball!

oh meant to say.... can someone make sure they take a camera and get some good shots? Chappie maybe?

I've been asked to take my camera down, so I'll be taking a few too.

Excellent Ash, I can't wait to see them!

Ah, so mr piggy.... our paths are finally going to cross!!! What better setting than your favourite music, food and sharing a great weekend. I look forward to finally meeting up. This is going to be one great weekend. A sort of South Indian Garlic chilli Ultravox if you like. Washed down with the traditional Oxford Lassi (sic).

Good Times afore for the forum old guard.

Mr B

Where's the burds?????

Meant to say.... PartyFears3 , great trio. Ugly bastards but a great threesome.

Goodnight Folks.

Davy

I will be taking me camera along - not sure I'll be able to better the efforts of our Piggie but maybe I'll learn some tips and tricks from the fellow.

Chappie

Tips n Tricks eh Paul. A dunno bout that like, but a might hoy a few tricks your way in the Injunz. Hev ya ever seen Vindaloo eaten through the nose? Rather messy affair if a say so me'sel. Just as well they dish oot them warm wipes at the end. . Nee Injunz in Feb, but April eh.

Mr Baillie - yes, an eyeball is well over due. Your description of the PF3 outfit had me choking on my 29p tin of Emerge from BM Bargains!!! A kinda 'Poor Mans Red Bull' I might even get up on the stage me'sel as I'm currently working on a Sitar version of Simple Minds 'Waterfront'. Mind you, a dinny wanna empty the place so a might just stick it on YouTube instead.

Well it promises to be a cracking occasion, does it not. God help the bog janitor if there's any Injun scran on the boofay!

E-mail was winging it's way to Paul last night. Don was telling me about the PF3 setlist last night and how he was just putting the finishing touches onto his versions of Baltimora's Tarzan Boy and Tight Fit's Lion Sleeps Tonight...

Oh lordy
Are PF3 adopting a 'Jungle Theme' then. Mr Thomson behind the keyboards wearin' a loin cloth wireez belly hangin' owa tha top!

Ey-up kidddeerrrrrrrrrrr

Sleepy in a loin cloth- Laugh? I nearly paid for me own drinks

Sleepy in a loin cloth - Laugh? I nearly paid for me own drinks

...or will the Sleepmeister go for the mankini look.

I hadn't realised when the next gig was first mentioned that it would be in Oxford so I won't be able to make it as I'm working till yon time in the afternoon/tea time and just couldn't get there in time.

Looks like I'll have to wait until April 10th to meet up with you again.

Will PF3 be deein' VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR?
Lerrez knar cos av gorra big pair o plastic sungegs a can fetch down, Trevor Hornesque. White frames, made in Hing Kong o'course. 5 pairs a pund in BM Bargains. They're on the counter near the Fox's Nob ale - 49 pence a fling. It's gorra canny heed on it anarl.

But aye, back on track...
Should be a grand occasion and me n' Mrs Pigsta are looking forward to it. Av been warned already - nee curry the neet afore the big drive down. Dinnae wanna be pullin' owa onta tha hard showlda ti open the trap door . The Mrs knars the score wi me n the devil ruby. A gan thru fower pairs o boxers a week me. The mother in law said she'd darn the rips in me knackered boxers - a said to her 'Aye Norma, what ye garna stitch 'em with...fookin' steel rope!!!!

Baillie's been on a box worth of the auld Blossom Hill again!

Here ye go

Can anyone name the synth pictured?

Why I do believe it is one of those fabulous Roland Juno 6's

I do believe it's one of those new fangled ones with knobs and buttons on and possibly some flashing lights. Damn my expertise, it's a curse I tells yer...

It's a Bontempi GG30, the one with a Bossanova preset that ya granny used ti dance to when she'd necked a crate o' Stout, follyed by a Capstan Full Strength!

No? Ah well, it's the taking part that counts eh.

PENNY LANE aint no 80's electronica song! Are ye the Bootleg Beatles in disguise

The rather excellent Roland Juno 60, if I'm not very much mistaken - the give-away being the switched HPF (where the 6 had a continuous slider).

Is there a prize? Do I win the Juno??

Don't do a Winslet if you do win!!!!

Well spotted Pete, I'll be willing to give you a Yamaha SS-30 with a faulty capacitor

I though there was at least 7 of you???

Be afraid, be very afraid . . .

. . . and looking forward to a great night with whoever is in Oxford at the gig
