Ordinarily I'd suggest the Underground, not least because the aforementioned Move On Up is rather close to my heart, however Fridays is The Cooker which is decidedly un-sixties, more 80s and 90s hip-hop, soul, r'n'b, funk etc... I know that most of the Leeds people I know who are going to the gig are going to 'Brighton Beach', it's also handy as it's so close to the Train station and hotels..I'm trying to sort out a discount for B&S gig goers.... **Leeds Tickets** Due to changed plans on behalf of two friends I am the proud owner of 2 spare ticktes for the Leeds gig, so please e-mail me privately if you need them.... cheerio Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------ The moveonup site :- http://www.move.u-net.com A web site dedicated to Classic and Northern Soul.....books, magazines,info,links ------------------------------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Leeds Gig

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ >OK, for Leeds, as I see it there are two options for a pre-gig meet up. >'North Bar' and 'Whitelocks' pub are the two nearest decent watering holes >to City Varieties, both being more or less a stones throw away.

Having said >that North Bar will be the least busy, i.e. more accomodating to large >numbers of sinisterine types. it's a newish, minimal kind of bar. >Whitelocks is an oldish (actually I believe they claim to be the oldest pub >in Leeds) traditional pub kind of thing. > >Enough wibbling. - What do people think, especially others in Leeds or >familiar with it? I like Whitelocks the best - it's got a really friendly atmosphere and the beer's top, served in pint glasses, with handles. It's not very big, though, so it would depend how many people are turning up. And for those who don't drink beer, it has the nicest Strongbow I've ever tasted (now _there's_ a recommendation). >Post-gig, I think the consensus is 'Brighton Beach' at the Cockpit >11pm-4am, it's very near the train station (about 2 minutes). 2 rooms, >indie/sixties/soul etc. Kind of depends on what band they have playing that night, though... I would have said that the Undergound is a far more "Belle and Sebastian" kind of place. It's quite small and friendly (while The Cockpit is quite grungy) with lots of tables round the dance floor and excellent garlic bread at their food counter. On Friday's it's The Cooker. It's the only night I've never been there, so don't know what it's like, except that it's some kind of sixties thang (and Soul's been covered at Move On Up on Wednesdays). Anyone else know? Having said all this I have a friend visiting that weekend, so whether I'll go to any of these places after the gig is far from certain...

Sinister: NYC picnic Sept. 20
by Mphintz＠aol.com 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ To be honest, all the information about the New York City picnic that has been planned is above in the subject line. However, we do have nearly a month to finish planning the thing. The first "picnic" in a diner was a washout, in many ways, and the second has been kept mysteriously quiet--as if it never happened (which it very well may not have). I have higher hopes for this one. Autumn is a better time for picnics anyway; we can watch the leaves turning colors. Email me privately if you have any questions. :-) Living and loving Matthew mphintz(a)aol.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Greenwich Blue Meanie Time

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ Trousers wrote: Oh yes, i think I mentioned to various people in chat that a few us were going to celebrate the last bank holiday weekend of the summer in Greenwich. I think this is a fabulous idea. I recently listened to a really long BBC radio documentary about Greenwich. I can't remember fuck-all about it, but it was fascinating, and I would like to go to the picnic. I've been to Greenwich, when I was little. We went by boat. I suggest listees do the same thing. I imagine it's more expensive, but it will help everyone get their sea legs for the rumured "watery grave" tour. The boats run from Tower Bridge (ish) and come with free chirpy cockney commentary, lawks-a-lummy etc. I think Charlotte should be saucy captain for the day, shiver me timbers etc. I would like to apologise to Brad for hero-worshipping him for so long. And to Genevieve for implying that she might be a bit slow off the mark. How wrong I was. I wonder if Espadrille will come up with the goods? Marco wrote: Hi at all, There's someone that know if B&S will come in Italy in concert??? I hope yes. Please help me,i am desperate. Thank you. Marco, we were told that concerts in Southern Europe are planned for next year. I don't know if Italy will be included or not, but judging from the Northern Europe holiday itinarary, it probably will be. By the way, where is Friburg? Or Fribourg? Is it near Hannover? Bobby Chariot PS: I really enjoy all the electronic footsy that goes on on this list. But then again I like hiding in bushes and watching teenagers snog.

Sinister: Happy Birthday Sinister
by MWaggner＠aol.com 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ This Sinister First Birthday wish and sugary cake on a dish is for each Happy Bunny, Tarty List Mistress Honey and Stuart, who thinks it's all pish. Ok ok, I'm not quitting my day job and moving up into the attic to write poetry, visions of the New Yorker and impeccable small presses dancing in my head... But, it's been a lovely year (HAS it been that long?). I've read some beautiful and some amusing things; found new music and books and poetry and films that I love thanks to sinisterian recommendations; been lucky enough to see the band twice; met people and made friends, both in #sinister and in the "real" world, and I've laughed and even cried with one or two. Not bad for a year's work, no? It's kind of neat that the year started off awaiting a tour, and is now finishing up the same way -- hopeful anticipation on both ends. Play nice kids, this is a wonderful place. Now, let's follow this sappy sentiment up with some complete vulgarity and rudeness, ok? simone/michele, who finally bought a box of Jaffa cakes tonight to see what they were all about. Not bad at all! But I won't be dealing with that haggis stuff, nor anything that is called a toad in a hole. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
