offramp Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Really looking forward to this!so you should be!AHAAH were spellbinding when they supported Portishead in Edinburgh the other week. Although the large-ish venue (Corn Exchange) didn't do them any favours and a few divs were doing Borat impersonations. Hilarious. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Given the band, kind of redundant to say it was a great night. It was always going to be so! Loved the 'unplugged' encore, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Given the band, kind of redundant to say it was a great night. It was always going to be so! Loved the 'unplugged' encore, too.that certainly was a WoW of a night & thanks to those folks that travelled from Dundee, Montrose, out of town & all those who made the effort to go to an inspiting event on a Monday night. All the artists were wowed by the genuine warmth of their reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
