City Rocker Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 How about this for a crazy weekend of football merriment and wanton punkrocking drunkenness: Sat May 1: Go to Nottingham and watch Derry's finest, The mighty mighty UNDERTONES at the Rescue Rooms, wearing a City shirt. Get mullered. Sun May 2: The Second of May: On up to Barnsley (in time for pub opening), watch Bristol City clinch promotion!(?)* Then pop down to Birmingham Academy and watch those crazy oldskool punksters The Damned, The Buzzcocks and The Undertones again! Wearing a City shirt. Get mullered again! *OK, the promotion bit I can't actually guarantee at this stage. In the event that we have bottled it by then, the gig will be a nice way of escaping the heartbreak for a couple of hours. But if we DO clinch it though, it'll be a mad and messy high-octane celebration, never to be forgotten. Well that's what we're doing on The Second of May anyway. :Party3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jon Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Or there is the extend it by one night, not quite punk rock option (which I will be doing). Friday, all night, Tenby scooter rally. Not sure of the bands but bound to be one mod, one punk, one ska with various punk/northern soul/ska sounds to back these up, followed by northern soul allnighter. Saturday get up late and scoot back to Caldicot (it takes a good four hours on a scooter) - I would go back on the Sunday but I'd never get to Barnsley if I did! Sunday - up to Barnsley. Monday - bask in the reflective glory of automatic promotion! Scooter Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Bells left foot Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 i would love to see the undertones teenage kicks is one of the best songs ive heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderEagle Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Saw the Undertones at Guilfest last year and they were fantastic - the new singer looks and sounds exactly like Feargal Sharkey. "Teenage Kicks" is one of those records where I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard it in '78, even more so than "Anarchy In The UK" and "White Riot". Fantastic Nottingham on May 1st you say ? Hmmm ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Released a brand new album last year called Get What You Need, which is excellent, check it out. Anyhoo, returning to one of my original points, could there possibly be a better date than May 2 to win promotion? If this happens maybe we should launch a fanzine called The Second of May?
