Subject: Boatrace closure Author: Pretentious Cambridge toff matt²³ [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:13:18 31/01/04 Saturday Author Host/IP: cpc3-bsfd2-5-0-cust97.cmbg.cable.ntl.com/81.100.85.97 In reply to: Dell 's message, "Re: Boatrace closure" on 00:42:28 30/01/04 Friday I spoke to Bill, Dave and Harris and they all said exactly the same thing. It used to be run by some guy called "Speedy" who was quite an unusual fella. It's just been taken over by some other chap who seems alright. Saying that, Strike Anywhere at The Man On The Moon was one of the best gigs I have been to in my life. >The man on the moon is the shitest venue I have ever >played. I would not return there to play or see a gig >ever... probably. > >>To be fair the last place Million Dead played in >>Cambridge was to a sold out Junction (800) and the guy >>that mostly promoted at The Boatrace is a dick anyway, >>you're much better off seeing bands play The Square if >>you get a chance. I don't think people realise what >>they've got sometimes and take it for granted. >> >>In Cambridge Nick puts a lot of work into putting gigs >>on, but the only available venues are The Man On The >>Moon, and The Portland, which are tiny. The Boatrace >>was always really harsh with age. >> >> >>>>>As opposed to places where it's unlikely you are >>>ever >>>>>gonna see see bands like Biffy Clyro, The Datsuns, >>>>>Million Dead, People in Planes, Idlewild, McLsuky, >>>>>Libertines etc etc [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
