I didn't have any specific plan for the Saturday, my lot are home to Newcastle, but I'll probably end up in Camden afterwards, either Ellies Head or Dublin Castle, see who's about and take it from there, hopefully end up at Coast to Coast in Shoreditch or somewhere similar
Everyone's welcome to join us (Debi & me) and I won't be expecting drinks

As for the Wednesday, even if I don't get the time off, I'll probably still go, just have to watch what I drink, and leave as soon as Rebelation finish. Easier for me as it's just a bus ride home, and I realise it's more difficult when you live further out. I managed it when I went to see New Town Kings and Dirty Revolution at the 100 club the other Thursday, but it's a damn sight easier not to get drunk when you're skint! ;D

[debi]

mmmm not expecting drinks and watch how much you're gonna drink that'll be a first he he

[karlska]

3am finish bosher,shit! i couldn't get back to deepest bedfordshire then mate,shame would liked to have come.........

[bosher]

Asked for the Thursday off, boss called me a lightweight and said he'd join me at the gig!!

As for 3am finish, I think that's just the bar, bands should be finished before last trains etc, not that I'm pressuring people to come (I'll leave that to promoters ;D)

This one's about the bands, anyone brave enough to join me for a birthday drink can do that on the Saturday

[debi]

I'm lucky I've the next day off work.

Rebelation have announced today (Saturday 8th) that they are no longer playing on the 19th. I believe Buster Shuffle now headline.
