Thick and fast tonight - watch out folks coming soon is an almost postive NMA gig review but before that heres a report on the travellers scene - I haven't read it (supposed to be working today not scanning NMA related articles
) but I remember years back reading it and at the time thought it was a sympathetic report.
This should go in the 'Everything Else' pages but I want to keep it in tune with the cuttings - and the cynic in me suspects that NMA only got that begrudgingly good review because NME wanted a few travellers who'd been forced into comercial culture via the criminal justice act to start buying the rag. (the review is in the same issue as this report)
While I'm at it I remember at the time getting mail from Chumba saying 'watch out - we didn't do what NME wanted us to - they are going to hate us soon' and sure enough NME hated Chumbawamba very soon after that mail.
Anyway - the travellers helped me out a lot when i was solo travelling - and I guess maybe a lot of us here who were hitching the country back then for whatever reason - to see this band or just to escape...
Ah bollox I'm getting that ******* message again
Won't let me post
Ok
back to the day job
If you want the traveller thing its an 8 page report that I'll try and post if there is more than one person here wants to read it - if not forget it. Let me know here if you want to read it.
not gonna try the live review now...later
