    Bradford June 27th after-show get-together disco

    Hi US Have you thought of how to promote this to those that aren't on Solo but are going to the gig? (Long time no appearance for me on here - yes, I can hear the phrases now including the words 'crawled' and 'woodwork'!) M

    The Smiths/Morrissey Convention

    This is a brilliant idea - there's enough interested parties with the skills and links to be able to put this together, and there would probably be enough interest (there's a certain minimum number of 'bums on seats' needed for it to be viable). I went to the Manchester Uni 2-day conference a...

    Looks like Leeds is on

    Feedback on Leeds An excellent night. Good to meet up with UncleSkinny again after quite some time - good choice of curry house, Pete, thanks. I managed to brave it out in front-middle for 45 mins but eventually moved back before the end before my legs gave way and my lungs collapsed...

    Leeds pre gig meet up

    I'm torn now between 2 destinations: I've been invited to meet UncleSkinny + others at 6 in Akbars on Greek Street for a curry - it's further into the city than the Bourbon but only a few minutes walk. I've only just secured a tkt today and so will be in Leeds from 5.45. I'll try and do...

    Leeds pre gig meet up

    At the risk of sounding stupid, what do 'beardy types' look like? I don't think it's a particularly student-type or 'yoghurt knitting' type place but, as I say, I'm not that well-informed. Basically, it's worth chancing for an hour or two without grief or embarrassment. I'll take a look on...

    Leeds pre gig meet up

    I've not been in for a couple of years or so (when it was called the Courtyard) and I'm not really 'down with the kids' (I'm 48) but I thought it was a half-decent place: good in summer cos of the...erm, courtyard and there are far more pretentious places in Leeds, that's for sure. I think...

    Moz's interview style/preferences

    Having just seen the latest of Moz's round of interviews to promote the YOR album (i.e. on TMF with Zane Lowe tonight, Fri nite/Sat morn, 21 Feb), I've got a couple of comments. Apols if they seem obvious to others. He deals much better on radio than on TV. The interview just now on TMF...

    Why wasn't Morrissey nominated for a BRIT?

    You've nailed it there, but it would still be interesting if he was nominated for one and turned it down - the publicity, etc. I, too, don't know how it works but I recall that Benjamin Zephaniah was 'offered' an OBE (or similar) and turned it down - I wonder if he was approached first. It...
