As shamelessly cut and pasted from another thread...

Folks, just a quick note to confirm that Monument will be playing in Greenock (26 miles - a short direct train ride - from Glasgow)on Friday 21st July 2006. Hopefully we'll be able to see some fellow Vox fans at the gig. Full details, times and running order to follow...

We did ponder on an afternoon gig on the 22nd, but the logistics of getting a decent crowd on a Saturday afternoon coupled with staging the gig at a decent time to allow folks (and ourselves) to get to Glasgow for the John Foxx gig were against us...
Cheers...

Hi, for the newbies, please check us out in the Media Archive section.

Monument - Ultravox Tribute

I guess there is no hope that you guys would ever be in new york? How long have you all been together?

I've tried to get them to come up here, but I guess it would just be way too expensive. Ah, well, one day...! (No pun intended.)

Mrs. X

Well, now we are both asking

See my post in the other thread.

Mrs. X

Of course you are right but it would be nice.

Well Ladies!

Monument would love to play over in your beloved homelands, but the logistics of it all would be a total financial no no, not unless you guys win the lottery & fly us ..(& the gear) over there!

Maybe 'One Small Day'..(Pun Intended!...lol )

Ha! Ha! Ha!

If I won the lottery, Mr. X and I would probably pack up our things and move over there so we'd be able to see you in your beloved homeland anyway! But, chances are if I won, it would be millions of dollars, so I could probably manage both. I'll see what I can do.

Mrs. X

If it works, I am willing to pay a lot for getting your knowledge Tara. And will I get the exclusive rights for making a book, a film.... ?
For the book I have already the title:
"How to get the jackpot for dummies" (registration pending on this title already, sorry mates)

If I win the next jackpot this weekend(which is over 100 million US) do you think I could get Ultravox to play a couple for all of us?

All together? Assuming you are meaning the RIE- line up,..... probably not.
But on one stage, nobody is able to see the others, seperated with THIN WALLs, it could work...
But your money is better invested in my "PLAN A" I think. Remember it?

No Ultravox....no Monument...Will no one sing Rage In Eden for me

You could try...but I'd want the original line-up with Foxx and Shears.

If you want the Midge line-up...well...keep in mind that ABBA turned down something like a billion dollars to reunite. Ultravox may be tempted for $100,000,000 but whether they'd actually go through with it is another thing altogether.

Mrs. X

Mrs. X

Ha!Ha!Ha!

Sorry, but that's as far as I'll go. It's all I remember!

Mrs. X

I shall be there. In my diary now.

Roy

Well I'm glad to see someone's back on track eh!
It will be good to see you again Mr Gwinn

We will give you guy's an update hopefully later in the week about the forthcoming gig(s).

It looks like Caz and I will be travelling up to Glasgow on the Friday. Have you got any update regarding a possible coach to Greenock from Glasgow, Don? What time would it be leaving? (I need some idea so we can plan our journey from here)

Thanks..

If there isn't enough folks there will be no bus!!!...LOL
I'm sure we can get you guys picked up...(erm, pardon the pun!)

Sleepy

Bless your heart.. I will be booking transport and accommodation by the end of this month, so I will let you know what our plans are asap.

No worries about the pun, btw

Just to update you guys for the July gig.

It WILL be a definate goer this one folks, we will be trying to sort out a support act & then we let Cerise know what's happening as & when we know OK

Regards...

Got my JF ticket for Scotland ( wherever it is !)

Davy - will be in touch + looking forward to a top weekend

Chaps & chapesses - if you can possibly make it you won't be disapointed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Got my ticket as well.

See you all there

Chappie

Caz and I have our train tickets, and are booked in at the Eurohostel for 21 and 22 July. Any more news re the Greenock gig and the Voxgate venue?

Hi Shirl, what do you need to know and i will answer?

Davy

Hi Shirl, what do you need to know and i will answer?

Davy

Hi Davy

Do you have a venue for the Greenock gig? Don mentioned the possibility of transport being arranged from Glasgow.. any more news on this?

On the Voxgate front for the Saturday - does anyone know what time and at which place people are meeting up?

Thanks..

I'll be there with bells on!

Oh yeah? What bells are these?

However, you will have a lot of fun without me this time...

Tattie, eh...

there's only one bell!!!

Hell's bells

I'm just a horny devil...but you already knew that. I will take care of all the groupies, including Sassy while they are on stage

They may let you as long as you dress up as one of the members of Lordi. :p

Did someone shout my name?

Back in rehearsals this weekend, looking to add another couple of numbers to the set for the July gig

Update guys; Had a nice wee techy run through, with Lament being added to the ever-growing set list, bloody Yamaha DX7!!!

Regards...

DX7?

Lament also!! One of my faves!!! I want to be there!

Maryann; Well get your ass on a plane & get over here then m'dear!

Don't tempt me

They're great! You wouldn't regret a single minute of it.

Plus they are a funny bunch of people. Donnie always makes María tear herself with laughter, even without saying a word. She calls him "el subnormal" by now.

And if you flew in on the 8th July already, you could go to GLASGOW, to the T. in the Park Festival and see MANU CHAO!!!!! Hips don't lie!

(Oh, I forgot to take my coat to this office this morning; right, I'm going home and take it there... :rolleyes: )

Lava: You mentioned Brooklyn as a venue........where in Brooklyn, ...must be outdoors
BTW: my friend says if Radiohead is playing in England/Scotland to please let me know and she will drag my ass over for sure...impossible to see Radiohead in the US.

Not sure if the boys from Scotland would be ready for a visit by me

<strong>Yes, I know HM, but they did use them during Set Movements back in good old 1984, believe it or not they are quite collectable nowadays!

Good luck with the gig chaps.

Cheers

It's a real pity ye cannae come

I think the problem I had with them was not the synth itself but the way they were generally used - "ooh look at all these presets". If I never hear the DX bass sound again I'll be a happy bunny.

I saw an Associates concert on BBC many years ago (after Alan Rankine had departed) and the keyboard player then had some exceptional sounds which were streets ahead of the presets.

By the way, good luck with the gig.

I'm not quite sure how we got ourselves to this point, but it seems that (after a mad game of dare last night) we've committed ourselves to both the Monument gig and John Foxx in Glasgow next month...



So, we'll be seeing you there chaps!



On a slightly seperate note, a small message for Danny Mitchell. Danny, if you're reading this my friend, my assessment made in Edinburgh in January last year that you are a very bad influence still stands. Come and prove it on the 21st July by buying us both a pint you old devil!



Roll on July...
