From Italy to see th Glasgow Gig

Post Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:46 am

I'll get my girlfriend Francesca to see the gig in Glasgow as a surprise gift. She'll be absolutely thrilled when she find out :D !!!!! Can you suggest nice pubs in Glasgow?

Nice :roll: :D

But McGinns is a must on Hope street, and it´s walking distance to the Academy.

Another great pub and a good Preshow pub will be The Brazenhead, many Pogues fans will be there before the show. Remember that it´s an Celtic game the same night so it might be well packed in the Brazenhead.

Have a great time. :twisted:

Great choice Gianfranco. I'm Italian as well and I went last year at Glasgow gig. Right after the gig I went to Brazenhead (*****), Cathcart Road's angle with Gorbal's.

The day after I went at the Scotia in Stockwell street (*** 1/2) and at the Horseshoe in Drury Lane (***).

A great record store is Avalanche Records in Dundas Vale, bought a coupla CD's there.

Does anyone know who'll be supporting? Last year there were Junkman's Choir and they were absolutely fan-tastic.
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior

My bad then Niall :roll:

Just thought i read somewhere that the game was "moved" to the same date. well, could be my bad english playing trix on me again.

I´ll still raise my hand for the Brazenhead wich i think is a great pre and after party place for Pogues fans, and if they don´t have live music that night there still is alot of Pogues songs in the jukebox :D

Have fun Gianfranco.

Easy there MacRua!!! Are you having a bad day? I log on at the front page everyday and didn't notice the addition of support bands on the tour list.

All due respect, that was uncalled for, Mods should be setting examples and I don’t think that wasn’t cool from MacRua.

That aside. Enjoy the Glasgow gig.

That's ok, I understand Mac...I'm a mod in other forums and I know how user superficiality can be annoying and frustrating. Let's not make a state affair out of this.

Mac, sorry again. I just happened to read about the Glasgow gig here and, not being directly interested in this years gigs, as I'm not going to them, I just didn't get a look at the topics.

For fuck sake, Simon! I just wanted to help and pointed to places with requisite info (front page & special thread). And as always my good intentions got distorted and imputed..

Model mods work for model users - smart, quick, attentive.. And grateful. Your <strike>nitty</strike> problems are sorted out by cuntish misanthropic bastard (who does believe that attempts to shift own incompetence onto fragile shoulders of long suffering managerial figures should not remain unpunished). Jedem das seine, meine liebe Kinder.

M (for Mod-L)

P.S. On a lighter note. Think about those who pay good money for my services..

P.P.S. Thanks for understanding, Billie. Only Mod can understand another Mod. Peace X :P
