Fair fucks to Straighten Out tonight in Belfast. A rather sparce crowd to say the least (7) but the show must go on etc, and they were superb.
Nothing better than sitting back drinking a pint and enjoying your favourite music.

If footage of the New Zealand bird appears on youtube, you'll all laugh your nuts off.

Seven, good lord. Although it can´t have been promoted very well, im located in Spain and I notified my brother (who was one of the `magnificent seven´) that the gig was taking place and I only knew because I seen it mentioned on facebook.

Hopefully the lads will get a good and well attended warm welcome at the Hope and Anchor.

I think we should make a really good effort for this one.

agreed, I've never seen them or any stranglers tribute band before, so am hoping to make this one, and will be interesting to see it, don't know anything about the set their playing either..hopefully it'll stay that way...

As one of the 'magnificent' seven, I felt embarrassed - but fair play to Shaggy and the boys for playing on regardless.

The NZ girl was highly entertaining - Phil will never forget her cowgirl action on the dancefloor, Dave and I were invited to accompany her somewhere else (an offer worth considering but in hindsight, after her mental behaviour, I think we got off lightly!!) and the bouncers will certainly remember throwing her out as she kicked and spat all the way out the door and down the stairs. The band said they had never been as entertained before LOL.

As a Strangler tribute band, there can be no greater tribute than acting out a very early Strangler gig to such a small audience (the ghost of Dagenham Dave was standing at the bar with a toothless grin). Whaddya think this is, a request show or something? At least I got my shout out for 'Burning Up Time' played.

Bad timing (co-inciding with the Belfast Festival) and poor choice of venue (not city centre) all added to the apathetic attitude of the non-attenders, meant this was a record (beating Guildford) as the lowest number of punters the band have played too.

Thanks for coming over guys - just a pity Belfast couldn't be bothered coming out.

I met a crazy kiwi girl in Belfast a while back. She actually stole my "In the Night" t-shirt. I wonder if it´s the same one. I went back to this one´s pad on the upper Ormeau Road and I was no sooner in her digs when she thrust a tin of beer in my hand and proclaimed "well Gareth mate, the painters and decorators are in, so you´re going to have to give me one up...." Well you get the drift. Of course I made my apologies and left. :smt087
