Folks,
we have secured a small gig which will give us the opportunity for a technical run-through of our live set in front of a real, live audience...

The date is November 26th.
Location is The MacGregor Bar in Gourock (28 miles west of Glasgow).

Support from my very good friends 'The Ten Gallon Bratz'

If anyone can make it we will be thrilled, but rest assured, all being well, we will take ourselves on the road and hopefully appear in various places in the UK and/or beyond....

We'll let you know how we get on...

Really looking forward to this, all welcome, only 20 minutes from Glasgow. Its actually in the venue upstairs from the bar we are playing. Look forward to seeing anyone from the forum.

Davy B...

Cerise You have mail Re this subject.

Hi!
It would be great if You could also perform in foreign vox-gates, no question about that!!
Please record Your gig on the 26th, on video and audio, if possible.

Flyer from Davy B!

I'll put this out on a mailer on Sunday night, it'll coincide with the site relaunch, so it'll all be big news. No really. It's actually happening this time. I swear! ;o)



The McGregor is in Shore Street in Gourock (20 minutes from Glasgow).

I can't make this one, but the very best of luck guys - knock 'em dead! We want some dates a bit further south!!!

Yes, record it definitely, plus pics! We can put tracks and photos up in the Media Archive.

Yes, pics would also be highly appreciated!!!!
Sleepy, will Your ARP be fixed until then or will You use the NL for those parts? Hell, I wish I would be in Scotland that week!!!!!

Mike, just for interest: is the "y" in "Lyden" spoken like the "i" in "little" or the "y" in "Lynott"?

Nils,
its pronounced as a 'y' as in 'try' and as in John Lydon of PIL and the Sex Pistols (albeit with a different vowel).
I've always pronounced Lynott as with an 'i'. Guess that's why so many people mispronounce my name also....especially in Germany...
'....excuse me, Herr Looden...'

Davy,
if you're going to pick me up on the fact that the venue is upstairs from the bar at the MacGregor, then I will pick you up on the spelling....It is MacGregor with an 'a'....heh heh...

For Reference..... My name is pronounced Davy 'Bee' as in the wee thing that flys around and can literally be a pain in the Ass.

Just thought id let you all know, in case you were wondering.

I'll get my coat.........

Davie B (Bee)

Whats an 'a' between friends?

Davy B

Dvy,
you re bsolutely right. The lck of the letter '' in no wy hmpers communiction. In fct I think we should get together petition to get it bnned.

Will nyone else join me in the 'Bn the ' ' cmpign' ?

Tht wy we would hve no more -Bombs or crs cusing pollution. Everyone would live in pece nd hrmony.....George Bush would no longer be President of the United Sttes of meric ....

Hurry ! Shove yer ' ' up yer rse!

Mind you ....you would need to renme website to ULTRVOX.ORG.UK......

I Concede !!

Davy B

Hi Mr. Bee and Mr. Lyden with "y" like in "try"!
I know that "Lynott" is spoken that way, maybe it wasn't recognizable that I used the name as an opposite example for "little".
The fact is that the right pronounciation of "Lyden" in german sounds like "leiden", which means "to suffer". I just wanted to ask if that's right .

Your flyer (with "y" like in......okay, I'll stop it) looks great! I really wish You the best for Your gig!!!

Do Danny and Colin come there, too?

Canny wait!!!

I hope Colin's going...I used to fancy the pants off him

Cerise: What's the best format to save a CorelDRAW file so I can send Davy a decent copy of the logo? I've tried .PDF and even copying it as an image to Word but, in both instances, the text came out with incorrect spacing (no doubt due to the fact that I don't have a specified point size for the text).

Davy: No offence mate, but the logo looks . It's just because you've used a copy of a copy of the jpeg I sent Don, I suppose. It's way too elongated and the text is pretty fuzzy. If I can get the original to you in some useable format it will look much better (sorry for being so picky but Monument does have a high standard to live up to... especially now that the music's there! )

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

So, every great saga has it´s beginning....

I wish I could join, but this event takes place so soon.... We´ll see. Have to check out possibilities to flight from Helsinki to Glasgow!

But I wish you all the best for the grand opening!!

Cheers, ari.

Sexybabe , I love your birthday!! Check mine, and you´ll know why

PLEASE fellow voxxers! Show your interest for Monument very first gig. Could we make this nice little Voxgate as well?

My flight ticket... available still.... for reasonable prise....well...

But let me but it this way, I would love to see Glasgow, I would love to see Monument - gig, and most of all to meet as many you guys as possible. And of course take photos of the boys on stage!!!!!!

So, who is most propably participating?

Monument : What are the changes this gig get cancelled?

If I book the flight, my money goes there Is there cheap ways to sleep two nights in Glasgow?

Could you, please, help me on this.

Cheers, ari..have to go

Best of luck for the gig, Chaps. Lack of cash would stop me getting up to Glasgow anyway, but I also have a wedding to go to on the Saturday, so no chance of splashing out on the CC and getting up there...

Hope it goes well!

ARI

See me through my email ok....you could probably sleep at one of our places or in a cheap bed & breakfast in town...one of us lot would have you collected from Glasgow Airport, glad your making the effort mate ....are you gonna bring the wife?

I'll be there. 'Bout time I headed north again.

To fly or to drive, that is the question. Flying is certainly easier, but then it's just me and a bag.

Roy

You not bringing any luggage then?

Well he never the last time!!!

Sexybabe , I love your birthday!! Check mine, and you´ll know why :kiss

Ari

Yeah..you're a pisces just like me, but MUCH older..

Hey Sexybabe, you wrote that book on forum squabbling yet ???

Hi CP....not yet, still trying to work out the real ID of the masses on this site & who's pulling who's strings!!!....comprende?....lol

I can send a decent version - actually I'm about to get them up in the Media Archive anyway after launch, will try to do them today if I can. Davy - can you use an Adobe Illustrator EPS (vector) format logo? Or do you need good quality JPEG/TIFF (raster) version instead?

Well I'll certainly check the diary babe

What ya drinkin' ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Why don't the girlies off this site form our own band?....any suggestions...(Keep it clean please)

IE Ultraramarama!!!!

'Midge Ure is waiting'...talk like a "Weegie"

SW - email sent. So I am that crazy, I will 99% sure will come. I still need to discuss with my boss about possible dates off work, normally no problemos, since I have done a lot extrawork lately.

Cheers, ari

P.S. All you englanders: I am flying from HELSINKI to see MONUMENT ! Can you do any better? There will be no excuses for not being there !

Nils, Mrs X....?

Hi!
Sadly I can't afford to do that. I'm a student for four years now and money has become a foreign word for me.

As the date mentioned is a Friday I won't be able to make it either. The place where I work closes for good that day and I can't see me getting the day off. After that I'll be working permanently in Mackemland near to where Piggy works.
Next time lads.....Saturday Saturday Saturday.

Nice way to said this. Hoped you could have join, but I know that feeling. I have been "art student" for 5 years. Poorest of the poorest time in my life. And I mean money

Nils , check you email...

The HIghland lassies have been having a few problems in their lives for a few months which have curbed our roadshows some what. The problems aren't over yet but both of us would really like to be there for the first gig - only problem is we may have to bring all the kids, dogs, cats, hamsters etc with us Mind you if the pigmeister turns up he could bond with my menagerie

Dave...Are we green for go?

Thomas, your gonnae get yer erse booted boy!!!

No, it's just if I brought a bit more stuff with me I could fix the ARP, and be a bit more roadie-like, and less of a ligger. I could bring the Trusty Transit, which is all kitted out for sleeping in. There again - Scotland in November - is that wise?

Roy

Would the trusty auld transit stand the pace?
Your more than welcome to have a go at the ARP....wont be using it otherwise

Need a step-down transformer for the Mistress pedal....u got one?

Agh, I've been an idiot! I just sent out the mail newsletter but I forgot to write about the Monument show in it. I'm so sorry! Put it down to lack of sleep.

I'll send out a new one, a special announcement. How's that?

New mailer sent out!

Cheers m'dear

What's the nightlife like in Gourock?

Not bad on the 26th I hear......

Davy..

Dear Chaps,

Hope you have a great gig! If anything goes pear-shaped, don't worry about it too much - it takes awhile to iron things out. And that's what next gigs are for.

Best wishes to you!

Warren

Cheers Warren,

We will do our best to keep up the good name.

Davy.

Sleepwalker, Dave B...

Well - life is sometimes.... my trip cancelled - have to try January ´05 Voxgate.

My beloved GrandFather slept away last night. He was 95! He´s mind worked perfectly till the end, but body became too weak. His wife lived also over 90 and past away 2 years ago.

It´s not so long time ago I met him, he was so happy to see my youngest son for the first time (he lived quiet far from Helsinki) and we had very interesting conversation about time before our indepence, watched old photographs (he as a child!), laughed, I took some photos...

Have to be there with all my GrandFather´s 4 daugters, their 6 children, and their 11 kids (oldest is 17) to prepare him in his last journey... where ever it is....maybe to see GrandMother again... who knows...

ari

Ari,
my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Of course they take precedence at all times and especially at this time...
I'm glad you managed to get some time with your Grandfather recently and introduce him to the latest generation...
We'll see you whenever you're ready....

Thank you Mike L. He really was my GRANDFATHER, not just a father of my mother, if you know what I mean.

ari

Sorry to read your sad news mate...hope to see you in the New Year

I'm so sorry, Ari. Having been through it recently with my Grandmother, I can sympathise with what you're going through all to well. My sincerest condolences. *big hugs*.
