The official NMA board

So... a couple of my favourite bands (Marillion and Madness) are in the habit of doing a weekender in a seaside town, ie taking over a Butlins or Pontins (non-UK residents... a holiday camp ;)) and playing three gigs in three nights... anyone else think that this would be a cool thing for NMA to do?
I'm sure that it could sell out several times over... plenty of money for the band, a special experience for the fans, some support acts that NMA like and would alert us to, some signings, maybe a Joolz poetry thing... sounds like a win - win thing to me! The three nights could be an acoustic show, followed by a rare tracks show and, on the last night, a full on NMA 'hits' kind of a thing...? :(
Just a thought, but I think there are a lot of folks who would be well up for that... any chance of something like that happening?

Yes certainly a good idea Ray and there wouldn't be problems with accommodation,even a couple of nights would be good. Even though I'm not a fan the Levellers would probably be a good support
Well I suppose we can dream

Somehow NMA headline Butlins doesnt do it for me ;D

Well - They did the two nights for the 30th. Maybe a full week for the 40th?
