Not really important who headlines as long as they both play long sets.Toss a coin to see who goes on first.


Good plan.....

And Killing Joke as special guests??

How bloody marvelous would that be?!!!!

I'd see NMA -  but then they are really my favourite band, bar none. Although, if they were playing the same night as Killing Joke, I'd probably have to think about it for a while.  ;D

My gig dilemma is that I'm performing the SAME night as NMA are in London, and I'm performing a couple hours away from London. Pain. In. The. Arse.

So, I'm going to Manchester instead. Win.

That one never happened. It was an over-ambitious festival/event initially put on by people who probably didn't know what doing so meant, and that got pulled quite a bit in advance with some excuse or other

I had an experience where a gig clashed a couple of years ago.

I had tickets to see Rush at the MEN Arena on 19th May 2011. I was in the second row. The closest to the stage I'd ever been at a Rush concert. I was very excited. Rush are my favourite band and I've seen them around 10 times.

19th May 20011 was also my mothers 65th birthday.

She understood.

They had come all the way from Canada so we celebrated her birhtday the next day  ::)

Love me a bit of Rush, but I have to say, I've fallen out of touch with them in recent years... recommend me a recent album, mate!

Hello Master Ray

The latest one. Clockwork Angels. It is fantastic. People who have been Rush fans and have fallen out of love with them 20 years ago are raving about it.

It came out last year. Read a few reviews of it I don't think I've seen a negative review of it.

Enjoy :)
