Title: So, a Nottingham roll call... whose coming? Atten-SHUN!
Post by: Master Ray on November 01, 2014, 07:51:59 PM
1.  ROLL CALL...The reading aloud of a list of names of people, as in a classroom or military post, to determine who is present or absent

People are talking about it on various threads, but lets run it up the flagpole and see if the cat sucks it off (yay, pop culture reference!)...

For me, it's myself (obviously), my pal Dan (not on this Forum but a hardened NMA-er whose seriously put in the hours) and our pal Matt, seasoned gig-goer but an NMA newbie...

This might be a good place for anyone to post some problems, if they have them... accommodation, travel etc... seeing as the Forum is so active nowadays, it seems that we might have a pretty decent turnout of people who talk to each other all the time but have never met!

Seven weeks to go...   :D

Yes as Neilly says I will be going (London as well).  Haven't got any digs booked yet in Nottingham as been hoping the prices might drop but not looking promising.  Any suggestions for anywhere cheap and in the vacinity of RC?
Title: Re: So, a Nottingham roll call... whose coming? Atten-SHUN!
Post by: Zenboy on November 03, 2014, 12:05:45 PM
Me & my better half will be there.  Heading down from Leeds on the Friday night & making a weekend of it.  Staying in the Park Hotel on Waverley Street.  Looking forward to it.

Cheers,


Zen

The stage is 30 a room - as mentioned not great but does its job not too far from RC - couple of mile I think.

Would love to do Notts, fly there and see you all. I've heard so much talk about the gigs there nowadays and in the past. Unfortunately just can't do it now.

Eeh Shush, Chevy Chase? You mean Fletch? ;-)

My partner, our girl and me will be there - can't wait.  It's been too long, and I love taking our girl to gigs.  She's 17 now and quite happy go go down to the front and get stuck in.

Pol, NRC is my very favourite UK venue, been there many times...

About 1500 capacity?  And it's laid out that you're never very far from the front, even if you're at the back or on the balcony... you'll see what I mean when you're there.

The atmosphere..?  Usually shit hot.  Notts folks know how to give it some...

Lookig forward to seeing you there, sir!
Title: Re: So, a Nottingham roll call... whose coming? Atten-SHUN!
Post by: Pol on November 04, 2014, 10:11:09 PM
Thanks for that M.R. Looking forward to seeing you and everyone one from the forum there as well, as well as the rest of the nma family. I might even break my self imposed alcohol ban for it lol

Post by: Master Ray on November 04, 2014, 10:18:49 PM
Just did a bit of research and apparently Rock City is nearly 2500 in capacity... apologies...
Title: Re: So, a Nottingham roll call... whose coming? Atten-SHUN!
Post by: LCG on November 04, 2014, 10:43:29 PM
Yep, I'll be there - along with the usual crew of Mark Griffiths, Steve Chapple-Gill (hopefully) and celebrating his 50th, Darrel Stephens. Travelodge on Maid Marian Way again.

DON'T forget our regular After Gig Gathering at Spanky van Dykes either. After the gig until about 2am. Lots of good music in the upstairs room - punk, alternative, goth, 2Tone etc etc. Free entry!

Your aftershow In Warrington was a cracker, looking forward to more of the same, sir!  Spanky's it is (especially as my hotel is just staggering-distance down Goldsmith St!)

I wish but i just did the entire October tour and November Jes and Dean tour. I hope someone captures the guest musician section on DVD. As much as I hate people filming through the entire gigs.
