I'll be there, as I have to be on a training course that week (Mon-Wed) in Stevenage, so it means I won't be in Telford that week!

I still don't have access to a car, so can't commit myself to this, even though I'd love to. Money is tight at the moment, so I can't afford to buy a ticket and then waste it

Okay then, who's going, and any thoughts of a meet-up?

Gig is between 8pm and 1am (according to Cargo's website - doubt whether Longrange will be on that late, but you never know), and this is where the venue is (for those that don't know):

The Foundry is the usual place to meet up at, as it's just up the road - what are people's thoughts, and what time should we meetup at?

Good place to meet (i've been advised) is The Bricklayers Arms on Charlotte Road. I will post seperate msg on here just in case any other folk are coming along!

I will probably be there from 7pmishhhh. How about u Nick ?

7pmishhhhh sounds good to me - I've managed to get out of that training course and am working from home Monday-Wednesday this week (a document that is due in before Christmas)...

Yup, Bricklayers Arms sounds good:

"AMBIENCE Arty/Bohemian, Casual, Friendly, Funky, Groups, Pulling, Retro, Student
REVIEW Down a dark, dark alleyway, in the dark, dark bot quite East End... is a funky little pub. The Bricklayers is a down at heal, up-temp haunt for the local art students and studio apartment-types who live, work and study in the area. They mix with some genuine old East End geezahs, the very friendly staff and a few young Suits (who apperently drees down).Various Djs with a decent record selection (at its worst bordering on wacky0 are far more interesting than the wall-to-wall garage you hear in most places these days. No, the DJs here are unique, and have the flair to try something different. The result is largely successful. It's a noisy pub after 7pm, so not the place to bring a date.
PLACE Small, fairly grub-standard pub downstairs, with decks at the back, strung over with fairy lights. Upstairs the restaurant is more hip in its design with 70s brown leather seats and brick walls adorned with some avant-garde artwork.
PEOPLE Serena and Ian are performance artists, working on a project to do with Victorian pornography and have just bought a fox-fur stole at Brick Lane Market for a fiver. They are taking turnes to wear it tonight. Neil and Rob have just come to 'chill and listen to the music, you know?'
PROF Designers, artists, media employees, musicians,architects. fashion eployees, students, TV production staff, art students
CELEBS Jarvis Cocker, Manic Street Preachers, Orbital, Sid Owen, Robbie Williams, Happy Mondays, Coldplay, Vinnie Jones
DRESS Dressing down for this place is a time-consuming fine art. Band and logo t-shirts, Carhartt, TopShop, Nike, Addidas.
MUSIC House, Jazz, Funk, Techno, DJs, Thu-Sun
DOOR none
DRINKS Beer £2.10, Wine £2.40, Cocktail £4
FOOD Thai, Traditional British, £6
CARDS No Amex or Diners
CAPACITY 150, seating 50

I quite enjoyed that gig. Did someone mention that it was being streamed on the internet? Where was that? Anyone got a recording?

It was on SecondLife and the link at Cargo failed, so Nick & Phil will be doing a SecondLife exclusive show in about a week...
