Keith, didn't you ever run into Mark E Smith when he was an Edinburgh Man?

From: Lynsey
Q.Hey Stevie, hows it going? Hope the new year finds you well! I may be abusing the Q & A section here, but are you playing a solo show in Glasgow on the 21st by any chance? I heard something about St Mary's Cathedral but I can't seem to find any concrete details, times etc, anywhere...?
A.
Yes well there is a Small Creatures show on friday at St Mary's also featuring Dot2Dot and some films..I'm going to be on first crooning some country numbers to try and get used to singing again. I get pretty freaked out by these things so I've not been telling anybody so keep it under your hat..okay!

Stevie - 17/01/05

(I doubt very much St Mary's Cathedral is made of concrete.)

what is the world coming 2?

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Like the Prince-style talk there...

Mr.Stringbender, sad to say no, although several legendary people that no-one seems 2 know but everyone knows about said they met him when he lived here. Grimly Fiendish, who posts on ILM lived in a flat opposite an address that's mentioned in one of his songs.

I don't know 4 how long he was an "Edinburgh Man" for 2 be honest. I'm not a huge fan of the band, though he's very funny. There's a bit in Stuart Maconie's biography that's him interviewing Smith in a pub that I go to quite frequently.

I can see this numbers game being a continuing problem...

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:49 (nineteen years ago) link

That wasn't Cathy, it was RJG and so is this.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 02:04 (nineteen years ago) link

How disappointing, I thought you were going to say it was Prince.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:01 (nineteen years ago) link

well, in a way!

when I get signed to rough trade, I am going to release an album of amyl nitrate-fuelled prince covers called "the prince & the poppers".

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Is St Mary's Cathedral *the* cathedral, the one near the necropolis? I thought that was St Mungo's. Perhaps it is just a clever name for a bar.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

That's what I thought; St.Mary's Cathedral is in Edinburgh. On Palmerston Place.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:02 (nineteen years ago) link

st. mary's is on the great western road.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

The Gilbert Scott church?

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Where's St.Midge's?

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

st. mary's edin.=GGS, yes.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny, I haven't seen Mary, Mungo and Midge since I was a kid, but a quick look up the web reveals its "gritty" nature, something I never noticed before:

Dot to Not in Metro.

I am trying Spain more at the moment, but am trying Glasgow in spirit, or something. Have fun tonight kids.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

No, *you* have fun.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

the grapevine says 'the best band in the whole fucking world' are playing tonight.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh OK, have fun. More than Ailsa.

How exciting. Go, Dot2Dot, go!

Doctor Doctor even have their own thread on the Bowlie board. Amongst what Carslime calls the 'Kitchenettes'.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 21 January 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago) link

.2. CorD? Thread now.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 21 January 2005 16:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Ha ha - Carslime!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 21 January 2005 21:51 (nineteen years ago) link

We need some hardcore Reporting Back, either here or ELSEWHERE (but not the Kitchenettes, I can never remember where it is).

hay guys try glasgow more but will rjg fuck me

Tsunami relief concert tickets on sale now - line up includes Frank Ferguson, Band S and Mogwai.

http://www.secctickets.com/

Reporting back: The band played better in general than at the Winchester, but the sound was shit. The wife of a record label wants to see them in a smaller venue with proper sound. They have nifty under-pew heating in churches these days. Three strange people danced in the aisle. A lot of people left after the main attraction so the Main Attraction had a smaller audience. Momus' cousin sang backing vocals for Stevie Reverb.

― Madchen (Madchen), Sunday, 23 January 2005 11:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I have just realised I will be in London on Saturday 19th February, so I have four standing tickets for the Tsunami gig for sale at exactly the price I paid for them - £28.67 each. Yes, I did gift aid. :((((

― Madchen (Madchen), Sunday, 23 January 2005 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Colin MacIntyre of Mull Historical Society said the natural disaster has shaken everyone: “I don’t think there’s been anything like this in our lifetimes.

“I’m already playing on February 19 at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, and I was planning to have a collection . I’m still going to play both gigs, so I’m going to have a drumkit in each venue and whip across Glasgow, like Phil Collins in Band Aid, but with more hair.”

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 23 January 2005 13:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Me and my friend have done a night out in Glasgow and Edinburgh on the same night. This I feel was more in the spirit of Collins at Live aid.

― KeithW (kmw), Sunday, 23 January 2005 13:49 (nineteen years ago) link

So I take it NO ONE will be coming to the gig I'm putting on on the 19th? If I can find a venue...

Peachy.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 23 January 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

OK maybe I will just cancel that gig. Ugh.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 23 January 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

saturday looks bad.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 23 January 2005 16:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I would come Ally.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Sunday, 23 January 2005 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Alba's last words to me this morning were to try Glasgow more.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Sunday, 23 January 2005 21:00 (nineteen years ago) link

he says that on his death bed.

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 23 January 2005 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought alba hated "try glasgow more".

perhaps, this means he hates you, too. sorry.

still, I don't think anyone else here hates you, yet, so, yeah, try!!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 23 January 2005 21:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Try and be hated more?

Well, I'm off to a great start with Alba then! He also said he'd never speak to me again. Mind you, that was before the Glasgow suggestion. Maybe he works his hate out systematically?

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Sunday, 23 January 2005 22:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know--he can get quite violent, at times.

I doubt he actually hates you, though.

: D

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I wouldn't hate you, or would hate you, if I knew who you were.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Me and the boys are doing a tsunami relief thingy on Saturday at *cough* Fury Murrays. There's an underground station nearby...

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I got thrown out of fury murray's, once.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Furry Muffs. I hate you all.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 24 January 2005 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

You ASKED to be thrown out of Fury Murrays. And you had to CONVINCE them to do so.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 24 January 2005 18:00 (nineteen years ago) link

you had to get my jacket, for me.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 24 January 2005 18:27 (nineteen years ago) link

I had to get his jacket, for him.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 24 January 2005 18:30 (nineteen years ago) link

This is like the two ronnies.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 24 January 2005 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

They are the two bonnies.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 24 January 2005 20:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I'd like to report that mr ailsa successfully got through the first round of interviews for the job madchen mentioned upthread. (L., I left a message on what I think is your mobile today to say thanks, but i'm not sure if it's the right number i have).

Is any of Glasgow going to the tsunami gig? I have no ticket, but would like to go. Madchen, I will buy a couple of you if you still have them.
