Bournemouth!!
20th oct
Yes, many times..Get there 6ish, but to be honest just cos your early doesn't mean your manage to hold your place unless you get on the barrier.....Oh & don't park in the BIC's multi storey its a nightmare.

I just googled it, yeah your not far from the BIC....Bournemouth is full of pubs, The Brass House, Moon in the Square they are all nearby...
The BIC is a conference centre.....so its actually not a shit hole like most gig venues, it has a couple fairly large bars inside as well.

Ross, I think you're a tad jealous because we draw better performers then Soton

Southampton in general is a shithole but on the music front it has the joiners which is the bollocks for new bands.

Ross, I think you're a tad jealous because we draw better performers then Soton i love the BIC i still can't belive oasis are playing their. Southampton in general is a shithole but on the music front it has the joiners which is the bollocks for new bands. They played the BIC in 1995... It's 13 years since the notorious Battle of Britpop chart war was almost played out in Bournemouth. In August 1995, Oasis and arch rivals Blur released singles on the same day - Blur's Country House ultimately beating Oasis' Roll With It to the number one spot. Both bands subsequently announced tour dates that brought Blur to the Pier Showbar and Oasis to the BIC on September 18. But a physical manifestation of the much-hyped Battle of Britpop was averted when Oasis postponed their tour until October. Remember they played Poole Lighthouse in the run up to Glasto a few years ago!! Im waiting for the Foo's to play here!! ;D They stayed whilst doing the Isle of Wight festival, they were seen playing pitch and putt !! ;D

There are some people with power in the music industry that live down here......I mean we had the Kings of Leon perform on the 4th July....Jayzee started his tour here.....Not to everyones taste but Missy Elliott....some of these artist only played London, Manchester and here....just a really odd combination!!
