loaf Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I see it's on Manxbands, but not up on here. (Hmm, if the mods could add "Yes, I was told by someone" to the poll I guess it would make a bit more sense!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I found out about it on Manxbands last week and there was mention of the lack of advertising so I looked out for it in the Courier and there was an advert on the bottom of one of the left hand pages about a sixth of the size of the page. I haven't seen any posters for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 The only posters I saw were at the Bitchin' party, I'm sure they'd be strategically placed elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 I take it you mean 9/7/04 Um, yes! Just testing, of course. Sadly, I can't edit the poll half of the post, or delete it and try again either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiler Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Apparently there are posters at the Venue itself (i didn't notice em) - but you can barely even notice the word SPACE...hope it goes well, but over here advertising is key really... (only found out about it myself from ringing the venue to ask about upcoming gigs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogie boogie Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 yep i've known about it for a few weeks now and the advertising has been terrible.. the posters for it in the venue are in the toilets. who's putting it on does anyone know. i rang up Stereoscout (Truman Falls record company) to make sure it was the actual Space and they said yes but hadn't been given any tickets to sell. All seems a bit odd, but oh well. it'll be a cracking night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ean Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah i noticed from the posters in the venue (i even managed to read it correctly in my drunken haze.....didn't manage to remember where to get tickets though, will they be sold on the door?)

Declan Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I would have thought given the amount of publicity that the night has recieved tickets will be on sale on the door. Amended the poll. I learnt this week because it was on Manx Bands. Same with Sir xxxx. Now we are both quite well informed on local gigs and such like and would normally have heard this sort of thing much earlier - what chance does the gig have of catching the casual punter's support?

the mo beats experience Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Saw a small ad in the paper, but nothing elsewhere, do you think that the rumourmill's corect then, and that it is getting converted to flats, i spoke to someone who really would know about a month ago and they said don't believe everything you hear. Its just the whole thing smacks of "can't be arsed" doesn't it! whats going to happen to manx clublife then? the venue's the only place where, realistically, something like this or big dance events could be held. the villa's no smoking policy, and the fact they don't like people dancing kinda rules them out. couldn't fit a band in breeze anywhere, not big enough either. paramount's a joke, nowhere else is there? seems a shame that our only "big" club would be to close, what a waste of time and money that'll have been if it were. i don't know if its their own fault for wasting money on has-beens such as space and shed 7 and the hothouse flowers, or if the islands not got enough interested people to attend. i think its probably the latter, if you were to bring over the chili peppers even, i still think you'd struggle to get 2,000 people turning up, and you'd end up paying around £40 for the privelidge. sad isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiler Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hothouse Flowers? They headlined the acoustic stage at Glastonbury last week and put on an amazing show, I would hardly say they are has beens. Plus it was an outside Promotions company (Triskel Promotions) who brought them over and not the Venue. Personally I doubt they would get permission to turn an area zoned for entertainment like the Venue/Cresent must be into residential - if they do get permission there's something badly wrong.

oogie boogie Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 the last two gigs i've been to in the venue have sounded alright. have they done something in there bcause it used to sound facking horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mo beats experience Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 mark cleator has woven his magic in there, thats whats happened to the sound system, someone who knows what they're doing got to grips with it! hothouse flowers are has-beens, paul mcartney headlined the main stage, has-been, oasis, has-beens. i don't get you.
