sie - can you email me a hi-res flyer?

**Sie Vulture** · 04-05-2005, 06:48 PM

Hi Serm - sorry mate, I've been working away - just got back.. will email you straight away!

**mr sayers** · 18-05-2005, 02:27 PM

I've just spoke to Daz (the owner of The Tanners) and he was supposed to have some band on the Saturday night, but they have pulled out. So it looks "we" can spin both nights.

I will sort something out tonite with Sie, but it looks like y'all are going to need more records!!!

...also my mate is selling his hip hop collection (LP's and 12's mostly US-pressings 86-93)... So if any of you are intrested PM me please, and i'll try to sort something out for the saturday afternoon - Hadrian Elephant has got first dibs on them as this was arranged a long time ago...

cheers craig...

That's great news Sayer!

OK, can folks start to confirm a couple of things on this thread... Sayer and I are gonna start the "names out the hat" process for playtimes etc next week..

1 - are you going to be there on the Sunday as planned, or are you having to drop out ? (no prob's if you gonna be MIA, just good to let us know..

)

2 - if you are in Newcastle on the Saturday night and fancy a spin at the Tanners, let me know as Sayer and I will start to promote the Saturday night too.

Thanks!

**Sie Vulture** · 18-05-2005, 02:49 PM

Also - there will be a pool tournament organised on the Sunday afternoon for all those DJ'ing and their associates who want to get involved!

This is being organised by Gibby, one of the DJ's from The Breakdown night at the Tanners...

cheers craig

**manzo** · 18-05-2005, 03:04 PM

Well, myself, Colin, Rich, Bongolia, Col Wolfe, and Vibra should all be there on the Saturday, seeing as the hostel is booked. I'll let them confirm whether they want to spin 'owt on the Saturday, but I'm definitely up for it.

**bongolia** · 18-05-2005, 03:07 PM

yes to both nights i guess. unless anyone fancies going to Icon or down the Quayside! what's that nightclub on the boat called? is that still there?

**Sie Vulture** · 18-05-2005, 03:09 PM

Thinking about it, perhaps we should let the local Breakdown DJ's have the decks on Satuday night and we all kick back relax and chat over a few beers whilst they spin some records...?

That sounds good - whaddya say?

**sermad** · 18-05-2005, 03:29 PM

the kid at work says the 'world headquarters' is a decent place to go? yes/no/maybe?

**LDJB** · 18-05-2005, 03:36 PM

Me and the Divine One will be there Sunday nite only.

You chaps enjoy your Saturday night - I'll bring some Anadin extra with me for you lot

haha!

World Headquarters is a pretty cool place, as the Flip Da Script guys will come on here and tell you... In an ideal world, I would have loved to have got us a night there on the Saturday, but we weren't able to sort it...

( thanks to Scriptflipper, Sayer etc for trying tho'

)

**vibra** · 18-05-2005, 03:45 PM

I'm there both nights.. if there's something good on then I'm up for relaxing with a few bevs, and if not, then I'm up for playing records and relaxing with a few bevs..

**bongolia** · 18-05-2005, 03:47 PM

World Headquarters used to be about the only decent club when i lived there. the same bloke ran a pub which was quite cool as well (forget the name, was it The Telegraph?). had 45s stuck all round the top of the walls though, which pissed me off. the club used to have a changing selection of LP sleeves up behind the bar, some good and pricey stuff. never met the owner, but heard some dodgy stories from people who knew him...

**sermad** · 18-05-2005, 03:48 PM

Well is that an option for saturday...

Yeah, looking forward to meeting you Vibra for a bev and a chat (and give those pesky Hero's a good slagging off

)

That reminds me, I better give Towny a call later tonight...

After my teams lethargic efforts tonight, I am 100% in for this now

Re Sat, I definitely think the Newcastle hosts should have the night

EDIT- It is soooo gonna stink in this dorm - 6 pissed farting vultures....

Was a bit disappointed with your lot last night and am prepared to be equally disappointed by my lot tonight.

football is rubbish.

**mr sayers** · 19-05-2005, 10:49 AM

yeah it is cool for the saturday... we've got the Tanners!

The "locals" are goin to spin on Saturday, the guests on Sunday. Sounds pretty fair to me...

World HQ is ok. the owner is a complete tosser to say the least, but it is an option for 11pm after The Tanners. If I remember correctly it is 7 quid to get in.... the other option is the Uni "Brighton Beach" is on!

cheers craig...

**Col Wolfe** · 19-05-2005, 08:42 PM

Yes mate ! Do that at some point, i'm well behind with what's goin on with "Byker Groove". Looking forward to catchin' up with everyone !

**Sie Vulture** · 20-05-2005, 01:39 PM

I'm driving up t'north this evening, so will call you en route...

**bongolia** · 20-05-2005, 01:48 PM

that's the place i was thinking of. had an old 45 jukebox there at the time. nice pub, but a little bit out of the way from the centre though

I'd politely disagree Mr S. I think the Trent House has got a great jukebox. Mind you, the appeal may wear off if you are a local, rather than a very occasional visitor like my good self.
