I guess people were just going on Utopia's "100% booked and signed" - think they might have jumped and leaked it a bit previous like...

Hi guys...the organisers of the gig are VERY excited...I know one of them and he like me has followed the Army for years and is over the moon that they will be playing.   Its going to be so good to have them back in Bradford again :).  From what I understand the venue is open til 2am and the prices of drinks arent to bad.  Seems like its going to be small and intimate so should be brilliant :)

I understand there will be some Bradford groups supporting but not heard who yet...there wasnt a DJ when I went to the opening gig but I will ask.

The venue is small...its capacity 500 comfortable but it is very intimate and the sound is really really good!  They had a few hiccups on the first night but have sorted them out so it should be a really good night!!!

Nicky / Darren

Just to let you know, you could do Flybe to Exeter and then transfer Exe - Leeds/Bradford. Might be an option for you.

Just to let the two of you know, I coming out to both Islands in the 3/4 weeks, will call to meet up!

Cheers

Gutted at missing this one, and another chance to take in the world famous hat museum, but asking the next Mrs Y to re-arrange Cornwall again could / would take a braver soul than me, especially as she has promised to fund any Xmas tour that we may embark upon.
