Good news - Ozrics gig in Margate!!

[ozhead]

I was in Margate yesterday, just strolling around the Old Town with my brother, and ...what?!...a poster in the window of a new venue called the West Coast Bar with a very old pic of The Ozric Tentacles! The pic is of my fave line-up, Ed, Seaweed, Jon, Zia and Schoo - if only! I told the bar owner that lot won't be showing up ( apart from Ed ) he smiled and nearly fell over when I pulled a copy of Spirals in Hyperspace out of my pocket, ( I never go anywhere without an Ozric's c.d. ). He said he tried to book the band last year but they were too busy. Anyway, the gig is on Saturday 24th May at 'Sugarlive', in the basement of the West Coast Bar, 3-5 King Street, Margate. Tel [phone]. Tickets £12.50 adv - £15 on the door. I wonder if it's part of a TOUR!! Yippee!! ;D

[watermill]

Booked up my tickets today, couple of us going, can't wait...my first Ozrics gig, ;D, ,...it just seems so far off, .

[ozhead]

It'll soon be here and when you are at the gig, you close your eyes and the time will fly past in a surreal haze where you are transported to another planet and gently returned to earth in time for the encore. You then stagger into the night thinking that you might have been abducted by aliens, with an empty longing in your heart for just a few more moments in that beautiful place. I'll get me coat. :-)

[watermill]

WOW, that was pretty friggin far out man...these next couple of months are well gonna drag.

I was in the Sugarlive venue last night having a few jars after seeing "off the Wall" a Pink Floyd tribute band. Off the wall were'nt playing at sugarlive they played at another venue called The Winter Gds (about 3000 croud). They were good but they wer'nt pink floyd if you catch my drift.....The sugarlive venue is quite a small compact place but should be very nice & bubbly...It will be very fun.

oh yes

P.S.
Damien, it'll be lovely to meet you..so get ya dancing shoes in action mate. forget the slippers?? maybe bring the pipe tho:D
