in the meantime, can we have a more co-ordinated effort to find meet up places please? how about one person or two from each town sorting it out.

i volunteer myself and katrina to sorting out london, which just leaves europe and leeds and nottingham

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. Unlike assorted other local hostelries they're cool re:dress code, and early in the evening shouldn't be too busy, although it is a Friday. 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? 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. Katrina wrote;

It gets better and better, Belle and Sebastian AND northern soul!!
