>>> Those who are attending the Wicklow gig on the 12th of August please note the following -
"well, at the nth hour the cinemas insurers have refused us permission to do the gig on their premises without paying a ridiculous one off premium to insure the place - (we are talking a BIG 4 figure sum).......SO.........all change, and possibly for the better. the frames do not want to blow out the gig completely so we have been wracking our brains today to come up with an alternative venue and i beleive that we have found one....... i am not at liberty to divulge the whereabouts of it .......but, if you are up for an adventure with a bit of a magical mystery tourette thrown in, then please make your way to the wicklow abbey cinema for 11pm and all will be revealed. only if you are holding a ticket or buying one there and able to waft it in front of the promoters face will you be able to get on the bus & go........all i will say about the destination, is that you should wrap up warm, maybe even dig your own wooly/wolly/woolly (sp?) hat out and why not pack a flask of coffee/bottle of whiskey/bag of crisps too? we will also be filming a video at this place so should be a larf all round. if anyone has any problems with any of this then please get back to me and i will attempt to alleviate any fears or give you your money back if youve already bought a ticket and dont feel like any untoward adventurousness on a saturday night.......but hey, you're only young once and it could be fun..... now - all of you that are considering going.......PRAY THAT THE RAIN GOES AWAY BEFORE SATURDAY NIGHT KICKS IN....... cx"
