Very unlikely that I'll be able to make it, just in case... what's the capacity of the venue? Is it likely to sell out soon (or at all)?

I understand that it holds about 450.

Will it sell out? I'd like to think so.

Not surprised warm-up is Bristol - quite surprised it is the Fleece as from what I've heard they have been puling anti-fascist type bands due to pressure from the far right?

Maybe I've only heard part of the story - these things tend to have many sides or it was just a promoter rather than venue issue.

Only reference I can find at the moment is from the Spanner website
http://spannerintheworks.net/wp/
Re The Fleece
"......For those that are unaware of the situation, the Oppressed, a well known and much respected antifascist band were due to play an antifascist benefit there on April 21st this year, along with a lot of good, political local bands. When there was the slightest threat of trouble from the far right against the gig, the venue management decided to pull out of the gig, leaving gig organisers in a difficult situation of finding another venue at short notice. This was done without any real effort to discuss the problem or work to find any solution to ensure the gig could go ahead....."

As I say hopefully it isn't anything major and no doubt some Bristol based people can explain what happened further.

I've been going to The Fleece for donkeys years and have seen many different bands and never seen any trouble (unless you count being covered in flour at a King Kurt gig) !

There's been a bit of TOO n FRO grief from Far Right twats around there.........
We got some fucktard Stiff arm us when we played, he was soundly twatted all over inside and outside the place. There was a few knobs with S****Driver pin badeges floatin' about, and it was the first time The Business had played Bristol in donkeys..........
Last resort got pulled not long after, the Oppressed also got their gig pulled due to wankers posting threats to fire bomg the place and all sorts coz it was an AFA benefit gig..........
Dunno the full details, but I can go find out from Anti-Fash stuff I'm involved in a bit elsewhere if needs be?
The venue itself is really good, great set up, good gear, nice folks. Pretty sure it'll sell out. We had 250 punters at the Business/Keyside Strike gig.......... 8)

The fleece is very central, just a few minutes' walk from Temple Meads station.

Great little venue, too. Will have to have a thuink about whether its worth running away from Bidets for the evening.

Am thinking of making the road trip for this one from nottingham if any one wants a lift and split a bit of fuel money let men know by pm or on the thread. Ibis is £39 in the city centre!
