Jamie Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Billy Bragg Thursday 7th December £19.50 (£13 concessions & Regulars) Doors open: 7.30pm Show starts: 8pm The Bard Of Barking continues his Hope Not Hate solo tour and makes a very welcome return to The Lemon Tree. While increasingly engaged as an author, activist and agitator, Bragg is first and foremost a singer-songwriter;one of the best these islands have ever produced. Blending personal and political material in an entirely natural and unforced way, an evening with Billy Bragg covers a vast range of emotional territory.www.billybragg.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 at 19.50...I'd expect the support act to be Christina Aguilera flicking her bean and getting up to lesbotic antics with Kylie Minogue,I just wonder how much of the 19.50 will go to fund some arty dance group, the prices are getting rediculously high nowadays.

Biz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 oh yesI am going to be on Mastermind, and my specialist subject will be -Crap things about Aberdeens Lemon Tree and it's stinky brochure, I used to go a lot, but it's better value for money going to weegieville or 2 or 3 other local venues instead, mind you, I could speak about all the positive aspects of The Lemon tree - like the great PA and staff and erm ... those pesky addmittance fees and drinks prices keep on clouding my judgement, but it's still better than quite a few of the stickier smellier dens of eniquity that I frequently visit.http://www.pictureparking.com/pic/41717/mode/M/img.jpg http://www.pictureparking.com/pic/41718/mode/M/img.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 oh no, the pillars are greatthe pillars are a great place to rest your drink, and handy navigational tools, and great leaning posts when intoxicated .My favourite numero uno is at stage right just in front of the PA.The penultimate place goes to the one next to the DJ bit up the back.And last but not least - the one at the top of the steps to the left hand side facing the stage.Ahh good auld pillars, I telt ye there were some positives tae be found.

I hope my Mum doesn't read this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
