I will keep a beady out for you, will they be in magazines as well?

Hi - I've not noticed any yet but will look out for them. If you contact JCDecaux and Maiden Outdoor who are 2 biggest companies in Manchester who put up the billboard and bus stop posters you may be able to get a left over poster as they usually are over supplied in case posters get ripped etc. HTH

Hi OO - I used to have a different name and we had a meal in Pizza Express long time ago now!

I used to be l u c h a r !! But changed my name as posted a lot about DH. You used to be a music person didn't you? - I've just been working on a big charity concert at the MEN which has been fab! I've not been to a meet up for ages but have met FaryFly, JanH, Gliterfairy and Rhubarb etc. Am hoping to get to the Manchester Heaton park thing but not sure yet if I can. I don't post much as its very strict here but I do lurk a lot!!

yes I used to have an interesting job in a previous life, sob.

I love the MEN Arena, it's fab, which concert was it? The Christie's one with the Smiths?

What Mcr Heaton park thing? Am I missing out?

moniker · 08/03/2006 11:29

I'm thinking of the tiger tiger one on 15th July and you're pencilled in!! It was the Christie's concert - I had a brilliant time working on it - really great!

oliveoil · 08/03/2006 11:32

I wanted to go to the Christies thing but it was £40! I can usually get freebies from my old place but didn't want guest list for that, charidy and all that.

Were the Smiths good Envy?

I may be going to the TT one but depends on wedding overload.

GDG · 08/03/2006 11:41

Not seen it.
Would it be on the net anywhere? On 'Manchesteronline' or something like that?

Sorry...wasn't being rude but remember having a hangover one weekend and almost getting run over by a tram!! Couldn't remember where it was but it was a great night out (and great shopping if my credit card remembers!)

The Smiths were amazing and so were Joy Division/New Order Grin

The first gig I ever went to was The Smiths, at Salford Uni (I think).
