Just wanted to say Well Done! once again boys, you were fantastic...I am sure they will be calling you back for more down in Crewe.

Great to meet you all...Mike, Davy and Tommy finally nice to meet you, felt like I already knew you because of DT of course....Paul, Ari, Grant and Isabel, I am so glad we got to experience the night together, I really enjoyed getting to know you all.

Isabel hope the mark on your chin really wasnt caused by "THE ITEM" If it was, I dont think we need the intimate details

Speak for yourself!!!!!!!

Really, though, I'm glad it was a great night, and I hope to meet you all very, very soon!!!

Mrs. X

Next time it will be live in person for you Mrs. X and not over the phone ...Did you get it booked??

*sigh* No, not yet. We went to the one place that we'd seen cheap flights to London before and the prices went up. So we're still shopping around for good rates. I'll be making some enquiries this weekend. If we were living in, like, Toronto or Vancouver, we'd be fine!!

Mrs. X

Another good turn out by the boys - a slight problem with the sound was the only distraction to an otherwise great set. Midgevox & Dadge, sorry I missed you. Ari, Sassy, Isabel & Grant - what a great couple of days, thank you all for coming along.

I have a few obsevations from the night.

Tommy - where does he get the energy? Drums his heart out for an hour and half, doesn't break sweat. 60 Mins later fast asleep in the bar. Totally rock and roll.

Don - I don't think I've ever laughed quite so much at repititions of the same joke as I did on Thurs. Two words for you - Uuuultravox! and Boiiinngg!

Mike & Davy - Great to see you both again - get some more gigs lined up for July / August and I'll be back again.

Ari - hope you had a great day in London and got back in time for a few MayDay beers - see you soon my friend.

Paul.

Hi.

Just got home. Five minutes ago. What an exellent trip. Thank you all for participating. And special thanks for you Paul, for everything.

Paul, I had a great day in London. Bought some CD´s, leather jacket, ate well, bought souvenirs for boys, met nice couple from Zurich in bar....and so on. I slept almost whole flight to Helsinki, and now I am ready for the night <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Cheers, ari

Ari. miss u already ! i am not one for hugs but had to with u ! yes it was a wondeful gig and everyone i met was great . Paul exceptionally kind and very tolerant of numerus references to The Item. Isabel and i got on great most of the time for a first ever meeting. Monument were excellent as musicians and people. Whar a great and hilariuos bunch of guys. And we listened to cd of Greenock gig in the car there and back - we all swore it was the real UUULLLL'TRAVOOXXX !!!!!! best wishes 2all, Grant

I hope you get the flights booked Mrs. X, the next one wont be the same without you. Paul.

Awwww...thank you Paul!!!

I can't wait to meet you all, and finally see Monument live!!!!

Mrs. X

Mrs X. i think we all wished u were there ! Paul it wouldnt be the same without you there. will think of u out there in the Middle East working so hard. and it was good to know u a bit when u pened up to us in the Belgravia bar [all of which is in confidence). also very kind of u to offer the John Foxx demoes. A big PLEASE there !! best wishes Grant

Grant: I must see pictures of you. I'm intrigued...

Mrs. X

Thank u Mrs X. but my heart belongs to another (Ari are u there ?!!).grsnt

So does mine! It belongs to Mr. X. But I was told you bore a resemblance to a certain Mr. Foxx. That's why I'm intrigued.

Mrs. X

I look forward to seeing the pics. <img border="0" alt="[Suave]" title="" src="graemlins/suave.gif" />

Mrs. X

Oh wow... I got home about 1 hour ago and would like to just say

THANK YOU and WELL DONE

to everyone, especially PAUL - who made it all as easy and uncomplicated as I love things to be. Have a safe flight back tomorrow!

SASSY - it was good you came. So happy to have met you! Sorry about the 30 quid. And sorry to have kept you "waiting"...

MRS. X - you were there with us all the time! We swear! You will have to come and see them. I'll do my best to join in (it will depend on whether I by then have a contracted job and how available I am).

DADGE and MIDGEVOX - sorry I didn't see you.

Apart from that, I had a great day in central London yesterday. Met a friend I hadn't seen in 13 years, went with him to British Museum, and also got my PG bags and scones and ginger jam. What more do I need? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

My chin is intact again. But I'll have to have my nail repaired tomorrow. I hope I can reply to my e-mails soon (?)

Love
Isabel

Lava- So glad you are home safe and sound. Do rest up and get that leg back in order girl. I so enjoyed our girlie chats it was lovely getting to know you and I look forward to you coming over again soon...maybe DT and I could even make a trip over your way...who can tell.

Working on some gigs for the monument boys in London either around the 9th or 30th of July so will keep you posted. It will of course be posted here as soon as I have the contracts signed.

Right I am off for a rest, hurting and have definately overdone it over the past few days, not to mention being very bad in Crewe...far too many cigs and JD&Coke's... thank God my specialist doesnt know

Will look for your email tomorrow, rest well

I was there in spirit and by phone. At least I got to hear one song! It was great!!! I will be there somewhere between mid-late June to late July. We just need to check on flights. Hopefully we'll know something very soon! Watch this space! I really hope you'll be able to make it, Isabel. I'd love to meet you as well as everyone!!!!!

Mrs. X

Lava. am so glad u home safe. i am so embarassed about what happened i didnt want 2 mention directly. but i will tell people i lost your bag when i wasnt paying attention in a tube station. there were expensive and or sentimental items in there. i am SO sorry and i hope this public humiliation is some atonement. and this John Foxx thing gotten out o hand. he is better looking and talented. love grant x

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come & see us in Crewe.
It's a shame i cant play the violin / viola. I'm thinking of investing some dosh in one of those STRAP ON remote keyboards so i can bounce about the stage a bit like Tigger...... BOIINNGG!!!

We have been offered some dates later in the year
& we're hoping for July so keep yer diaries free ok,will keep you posted.

Regards...


UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTRAVOX

Zleepy. may have some more leave by July from work and a few poonds. LOL. in any case i am off Sunday and Monday nites if a gig should arise then. Did u say u wanna look like FALCO with that "itemised" keyboard?! grant

Sounds as if it was wonderful. I hope I am able to meet and see You one day (and hopefully not too far in the future).

One small day....

LOL...careful Grant may need to reword that...saying cheap compulation and little or no difference in that quality may not say much for our Monument boys...we wouldnt want people thinking that now would we Cheer up mate...all is well and I am happy we got to meet...dont take things to heart so much...I am sure I can speak for everyone when I say, we all had a great time.

I feel like I missed a life-affirming event, and will move Heaven and Earth to get to the next English gig - which, hopefully, will be somewhere near London, wot is where I do living at near (a financial necessity, not an aesthetic choice, I assure you). Really glad that the event went well and that it seems a good time was had by all. I'm jealous of you, and shall now descend into a well of bile and regrets to fling curses at the weeping green walls.

Sassy

thank you very much - i can see how words can be misinterpreted. I was of course PRAISING Monument as highly as i can. LOL. And that compilation just happened to be in HMV sale. LOL. I am cheering up a bit but have been unable to retrieve my email to see if there's and comeback from my laying down of the gauntlet. LOL

love
Grant

I know you were not dissing them intentionally of course...I am the first to say I must watch how I say things on here too as often they are misconstrude....no harm not fowl there mate.

Hi
Many Thanks to Monument for a good show.
If you come back to the Limelight I'll be there.
(if I'm about!!)

Good to meet some of you .. Mike .. Roy Gwynn and others who names I can't remember.
Although the gig is only a mile away it seemed a long walk home

Best of luck for the future

Chris

Osterreicher. i am near Heathrow Airpiet so suggest we go to gig together if they do London date. am sure we'd meet up with a lot of the tribe anyway. lol. grant

Sounds like a sensible idea. There are a fair few folks from this neck of the woods, so I'm sure a decent and appreciative mob could be assembled to lay our wreaths at the Monument. Plus it's convenient for all those flying in for the gig from far-flung places like Germany, Spain, Finland, Canada, Newcastle . . .

...Milton Keynes...

Well ok - EUSTON would be more convenient for me...

Actually... in Crewe we agreed to updating some lyrics...

So from now on it's - to name a random example:

If the STRAP is high against you (...)

(yes yes, I know, it's not quite perfect as the preposition is missing... but... WE ALL HAVE IT IN OUR MINDS NOW, DON'T WE?!)

You did, and I kept watching out for that woollen tie all evening!!

There would have been room for a fifth person in the car, don't you know... [sigh]



Who was Chris Curran at the Limelight?
:p

lol...well you could have said...strapped faced down on the cold stone...okay maybe mine isnt any better

We STRAPped still
We all STRAPped still
Still STRAPped still
We're STRAPing still

*ba dum bum - crash*

I thank you...

Mrs. X

Or, "Ant STRAP" by Adam & The STRAPS! (He'd like that probably... )

Mrs. X

well ... what about THE "classic" ... erm ... "strap song" : colonel abrams' "STRAPPED" !?

btw : there's even a "red light district" remix available !!!

I'd prefer the Depeche Mode version...

"Let me see you STRAPPED down to the bone..."

Mrs. X

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. I can barely imagine. Still, I'll try anything once. <img border="0" alt="[Suave]" title="" src="graemlins/suave.gif" />

Glad the gig went well. See you all in London then (maybe).

How about "Living on an ITEM" by Status Quo? and obscurely there was the mini album "Bottom Feeders" by Thin White Rope !

Ah! You never know where I might turn up, so . . .
Keep watching the ties!

Er, yes... I think the second one would be more appropriate. <img border="0" alt="[Suave]" title="" src="graemlins/suave.gif" />

Mrs. X

"Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it"

Ha haaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO



etc.

An inch?! Any guy would have to do better than that to make me happy!!

"Take what you can... Take it while you may..."

Mrs. X

See - I've been wondering what "and it deals no softened BLOW" means for the past 20 years now...

Chris Curran at the limelight is the same as Chris Curran anywhere

It was me

Chris

Well, I guess the secret's out, isn't it.

Naughty, naughty!!! <img border="0" alt="[Suave]" title="" src="graemlins/suave.gif" />

Mrs. X

blow thing. my blow is totally softened as i feel nothing whatsoever now and i prefewr it.Maybe its about break ups, this siftened b

Mistress ordered me to cheer up so i must say it was a very good blow. LOL. there was an old famous quote along the lines of "never explain. " so i apologise to anyone i may have upset with no conditions. ie Flip and others in John foxx. but i also support Mrs X as she was just being lighthearted. today i been enjoying "one small day" and "reap the wild wind" as i find hunan warmth and comfort in them. cheers grant
