We're are in talks with the Citrus club in Edinburgh for a support slot with The Selecter....(2tone)
23/7/04

Will have more details on monday

Sleepy, I will be on the blower to Brian on Monday to sort out all contractual issues!!!

Can't think of a more appropriate venue than the Citrus for Monuments first outing either!!!

Keep that date in your diary people, fingers crossed, it's gonna happen!! I can hear the sharpening of pencils and the rustle of note books already..........

Hope that sideyways dancing is being worked on Mikey....... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Sleepwalker... What a perfect timing. That would be exellent time for me. I am on my summer holiday that time and I could spent few days in Scotland and have a little time just for myself. Everyone married with kids, knows what I am talking about.
I was hoping to visit Glasgow, but Edinbourg is as fine. I have been once in E.(1986-87?) but never in G.

Well, are we talking about voxgate as well? I quess it is obvious

Please Folks, participate!!!

I am looking forward to hear from you Sleepwalker (Monument). Just as soon as you know for sure the date, I´ll reserve ticket. I have to be sure, ´cause I am going to fly cheap no money return, no flight changes what so ever

Cheers, ari

If you need professional photographer to capture that evening or/and some Monument "press shots"(for free), please let me know. Perhaps you could find me some cheap hotel to stay in return.
It is no way problem to me to carry some of my stuff. Believe me, I am used to do it And I´ll carry some camera anyway...

Should know by tomorrow at the latest ok

Sam,
I'll be practicing the sideyways dancing in Florida for a couple of weeks before the gig...
I'll either come back tanned, toned and tripping the light fantastic
or sunburnt, sozzled and suffering....
Either way, the sound of Ultravox will be blaring from at least one car on the east coast of the US........I really should get my hearing checked...I think it comes from rehearsing with Monument on Saturday mornings...I always end up "Deaf in the Afternoon"....

Just as long as you come back Mikey, toned tanned or otherwise!

Looking forward to this little outing. It could be the tonic that I require. Life can be very sad at times
Maybe someone might cheer me up by buying me drink!

Eeee ya little minx ya, that's one o' Sam's lines that !!! Av sent ya emails ti cheer ya up but ya nivver answer them so ya gerrin' nee mare until ya dee

You'll feel much better when you see me playing with ma organ .....erm a mean synthesizers!

Nae mare drink oot of us lot......you've had a SHED load out of us east coasters!

Sleepy pet I'm not sure on whether to laugh or cry at the thought of you playing with your organ.

And I'm sure you're not the only one there...

PULL THE OTHER ONE !!!!!!!!!!

Oi...! Piggers

You comin' to this side 'o hadrians on the 23rd of the jules or what?...or are you just a web based project???

You & Mikey C put yer money where yer mouth is, jump on a speeding 125 to auld reekie & boogie wi the Monny boyz!

That goes for you aswell Wooldridge!!!

This is really good news. I look forward to it.

Originally posted by Conny's Pig
Auld Reekie is an affectionate term for Edinburgh borne from their neighbourly habit of projecting toilet waste out the windows of tenement buildings on to unsuspecting passers-by below. Since the core of Edinburgh was concentrated on the hill that makes up the Royal Mile, the said effluent would run in rivulets down the hill to the site of the former Nor' Loch (now Princes St Gardens) where they used to drown Witches.

Whilst the above is true , it isnt why Edinburgh is called "Auld reekie". Reekie in old Scots translates as "smokey" rather than the current meaning of "smelly" . Got nickname because of dense population on the Royal Mile creating lots of smoke from fires and creating a permanent haze over the city.

I stand further illuminated....

Hence the toast "Lang may yer lumb reek"
( literal translation -long may your Chimney smoke )
meaning long life and happiness

We're not exactly painting a desirable picture of Edinburgh here in a thread that is trying to get people to come and support the Monument gig....

Surely we could come up with a slogan that would project it in a good light...
Something like -

"Come to Edinburgh for a laugh and go back home in stitches"


Seriously though, Edinburgh is a beautiful city.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Thanks for the information David L....That's a right guid willie-waught I owe ye' (If ye come up fur the gig of course....)

MIKEY L : Dinnae gee me yer Glasgae patter sonny, you just make sure that while yer in Mickey Mouse land, your holiday will consist of constantly thinkin' that you are the WAN that gets awe the pish @ the front o the stage & no us!

Other Mike: You sound like a Scot Abroad. I quite agree that you should never judge a person's nationality by where they currently live! Do you speak Gaelic by any chance! :p

RULES OF THE FORUM - Section 3, Subsection 2, Paragraph A states;

"When a forum member reaches 1000 posts he/she will be assumed to be the saddest amongst us and to redeem themselves they will need to buy all the drinks and curries at the next Voxgate".

So, Sleepy me owld mucka, with that in mind the beers and ruby's are on yee on 23rd July or whatever date in August you were planning!

Oh, and I've amended your post tally to 1001 in case you were thinking of being a tight wad by not posting any more and staying on 999!!

I see my name is being taken in vain. I ought to at least get an extra pint for that!
