Where's The Borderline anyhow?  Maybe you can 'phone them? Only issue is getting back Sunday, but I'm sure it's possible. You know how much I like Hugh Hopper and of course, Chris Cutler is a leg-end. I'm not overly familiar with Daevid Allen's work, mind you, but I'm sure it'll be amazing! See what you can do, eh? I'm hoping you're able to sort it out. -------------

I saw them at the Canterbury festival in September and highly enjoyable they were too. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to this one though. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

You're coming from the US? Oooh, where are you staying, Assaf? It'd be a pleasure to meet you. I can go without Lee, but it'd be nice for him to come too. I'll see what I can do. As I said, it's a Saturday, so I don't need to take time off work and besides, I have Fridays off anyhow. -------------

Nah, just kidding.... sorry, a bit cruel...
But I would love too come.
But in any case, maybe in next year's RIO 2 show we'll meet.

If you and Gecko are travelling in for this one then I'll try to make it - if only to find out what you guys actually look like... ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Oi, stop doing that! Yes, maybe. I really want to go to that, as long as there's no chainsaws. -------------

Assaf isn't actually coming. I can probably go, but I don't like going to gigs by myself and I have nowhere to crash for the night either. -------------

This trio is very intriguing... I'd love to see them live. Maybe they'll have a RIO2 spot next year?.... Not sure, eh? Anyway, I really hope to get to next year's RIo festival. Sorry for the joke, in real life I used to be much worse.... did those things all the time... Stopped now, found it's too cruel at times.... |

I reckon I might come down to see this one as well, although I assume it's sat 2nd and not 3rd (anal moment)

Yes, almost as cruel as pantacruelgruel... but not quite. You even had Chris excited for a moment there too. -------------

Yes, it is a Sunday.... 
That's what the website says.... Weird. I figure they got the wrong day. It's probably Sunday 3/6/07

If it's a Saturday, Lee might be able to come... maybe they meant the 2nd? It says Saturday 3rd June twice on Voiceprint's website.

It's in Soho, Ben, I don't think that's your scene.

Ben.Your Dad definately won't sponsor you going into that den of iniquity. I was at the Borderline a couple of years ago and the price for bottled beer increases every hour.It started off at £2.50 a bottle and was about £4 at chucking-out time.I daren't hazard a guess at the prices now. -------------

Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh

It's actually near the Charing Cross Road, so it's almost in Bloomsbury. Infact, it's not all that far from The Mean Fiddler, where I've been twice before.

£12:50 It maybe over 18, I'm not sure, it doesn't say. Hmm, now now Ben, you can't go without me... that simply isn't fair. Plus your father would hate the music! You do know Chris Cutler and Daevid Allen don't you? -------------

That's because they don't have a box-office...you have to go the the Astoria round the corner...
Should be a great show though, got my ticket already...  |
Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh
Date Posted: May 07 2007 at 14:53
Ah yes, I know Astoria Box office.  Is it an all-standing venue? -------------

It's like a small underground pub...I think there's a couple of seats around the bar but the rest's all standing. It was pretty good last time I went there to see Hatfield & The North |
Posted By: progismylife
Date Posted: May 07 2007 at 14:58
|
I can't go... because I have no money and because I should be in church while this is going on... and there's probably an age limit. |
Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh
Date Posted: May 07 2007 at 15:02
I saw Hatfield and the North locally, before Pip passed on, so I was very lucky. I even met Richard Sinclair and his wife. Pip and the new keyboard player were the only ones I didn't get the signatures of. 'tis a shame Pip passed on. I doubt I can go either. Trains are rubbish on Sundays and I'd have to book Monday off work (which isn't a problem, actually). -------------

Date Posted: May 07 2007 at 15:10
I managed to meet Phil & Richard after the show too, though I couldn't catch Pip before I had to run for the bus. It's a great shame I agree, I think the Borderline show was the last he played in the UK.
Though as a plus Lol Coxhill guested for the first set.
I definitely want to go to this though...probably the only chance to catch Daevid in the UK this year. The only annoying thing is it clashes with the Faust show, though luckily I was too lazy to buy tickets for that

Richard is an incredibly nice guy, I must say. I didn't chat to Phil Miller, but he did sign my copy of Hatwise Choice for me, so I was happy. I missed Mother Gong last year in my home town, how I didn't see that, I don't know... I don't expect such bands to play here. -------------

Typical!...Mother Gong played a free show near mine too while I was away.
Managed to catch up with them at the Uncon in Amsterdam though. Absolutely amazing experience, lot's of DVDs & CDs of the bands to look forward to too so I hear
Met Allan Holdsworth yesterday too, one of the nicest I've had the pleasure to meet

Ah yes, the Holdsworth gig was yesterday. Sounds like fun. Yes, Mother Gong played in a pub in Swindon last year and I didn't hear about it until after the event! Grrr! I could have easily gone to see them too. True, it wasn't Daevid Allen, but I'm sure Gilli Smyth's Mother Gong is just as good. -------------

Back to Brainville 3 issue meanwhile...
I was (very) lucky to see them last year, some three days after the famous Canterbury Festival. All I can do is to recommend (highly) you not to miss the concert.
...'cause mine was great!!!
