I like the sound she maked. some bloke making them not going to be the same
well with any luck Dub Dada or whoever won't be making irritating ullulating noises and wobbling on about 'good earth love conscious vibrations' over every song.

In the other thread**, an improvement was suggested on those very grounds ... mixed feelings personally. So as you say, proof of the pudding on the 16th ...
ETA : **And in this one, I now see!!
Crustychick, you coming? Only a tenner ....
PieEye -- I remember (now) a conversation we had along those lines after the ZT gig (which you missed, I remember!) at Glasto 2003. We agreed to differ then ... not much has changed by the look of it ...

Zion Train are the most pretentious fuckwits with ideas of an importance that they dont have that i've ever had the mispleasure of being in ear shot of.

We won't see you down Brick Lane on the 16th then ...

To answer your mentions in order., yes, I do remember the Robey in the early 90s
, and ... probably not ... although the upstairs dub and roots room at Unsound is pretty good these days ... i_hate_beckham said:
and how do you know they're pretentious, IHB?

you'll have much more fun seeing Zion Train play our venue 2 days, later, Vikrams Occasions Palace in Slough - Sat Mar 18th
http://www.fennerfest.co.uk/
we had The Beat and No1 Station play 2 weeks ago, have some of this:
why would you want to go to some scummy dive on a Thursday night, when you can go to a Palace on a Saturday?
and yes, you can get an excellent curry, as yes, Vikrams is a punjabi banquetting hall. 21st Century fun from what was the guilfin.org crew

I see what you mean about Saturday being better than Thursday, but you're on a hiding to nothing if you're trying to persuade inner Londoners to head for Slough!! 
... anyway I've booked my ticket for the 16th now ...
Have a goodun down there though

they love it. got them coming from all over for this one - Ramsgate, Bristol and Cricklade are all looming large in the online ticket sales ...
they're playing Hitchin on the Friday night - another place with not much of a reputation, but in truth one of the best places for live music I can think of - they have the best urban festival i've ever been too - http://www.rotw.org.uk/

Cheers for that, will add that Hitchin Festival to my list ...
One of the best (tiny) bands I ever saw was a three piece singing in harmony (also with guitar and mandolin) in the club tent at the Cambridge Folk Festival, they were from Hitchin as well, they also said Hitchin was
for live music, jammimg, acoustic, folk, etc.

they had a Gurdwara (sikh temple) crawl on the night before the festival last year - very unpretentious place, lots of fun, and on a good night, they have 5000 people going mental to zion train in a car park ... they block off the whole town centre and have stages up everywhere, playing every type of music. Quite mad, the whole town turns out and has a raucous time, a proper town carnival
Doubt I'll make the Pride of Spitalfields by 7 now, as Stig and I are having a curry (not in Brick Lane itself, but not far off) beforehand. She's not doing the gig, but saw my doing so as a welcome curry opportunity ...
Sometime between 8 and 8:30 in the Pride of S is more realistic ... I doubt the gig will start before 9 at earliest, and the venue is near the pub.

I like zion train, but I haven't seen them for at least 5 years. They must be getting on a bit.

Ahhhhhhhhh....one of my favourite nights ever. So many great memories...if only I could remember them.
The Robey - the only pub i've ever frequented where they ran out of beer more times than they didn't. I remember watching African Headcharge do a drum session in there once that was amazing, Bonjo just grinning and working the crowd.

Only went 2 or 3 times (once including Zion Train) but my memories are VERY fuzzy indeed ...

No probs. Check out the Crouch Vale Brewers Gold -- great!!
Bumped because the ZT 93 East Feet East gig is tonight -- there may well still be tix available on the door!
See people there ...

Excellent gig -- memories impaired by the several pints beforehand though ...
And some naughty scamp handed me a pipe of great hash just after we arrived
So ... all a bit floaty ....
