Share on Facebooksaw the rakes at an instore in brighton yesterday

i only wanted to see alan's face
however i went to see peggy sue and the pirates that night and they were amazing. see them supporting kate nash on tour...
i went to that instore
and yeah i totally agree.
i could see nothing!
and the buzzing...argh.
Great Escape...
over 18s, gash.
is it over 18s for seperate gigs though
surely the concorde 2 wouldn't give a toss about age restrictions.
I can't be bothered with it this year.
And I have no money at the moment. I remember the line up grabbing my attention more last year.
You're too young
to be using the word 'gash'.
I went to a gig as part of the festival last year
at the concorde and it was over 14's. Dunno whether they'll have specific gigs this time though.
i might
if it wasn't sold out.
^
although i hope to party with a DiS masseeve at some point.
Nah.
Gash.
the c2 CAN do over 18 gigs but....
....all the GE ones are over 18.
The Numbers
