Possible gig opportunity for Nov/Dec 2008Simple Minds are playing Glasgow on Thursday (4/12/2008) at the SECC.
http://www.sosimpleminded.com
A lot of SM fans are coming to this from farflung places like Australia( Hi Tracey), New Zealand ( Hi Victoria) , Belgium (Hi Lore) , USA and most places in between including St Helens (Hi Shirl)
I think its a great opportunity for FGM to play something on the Wednesday or Friday in Glasgow since folk will be in town. Even a show on the Thursday afternoon could probably work.
There is also a gap between the London and Sheffield gigs where you could possibly do something.
It would be great if you could do something especially in Glasgow.

Hi Bruce
HI DEREK....... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be very disappointing to come all that way and not be able to get to a FGM gig wouldn't it..................

Bruce, I think that's a brilliant idea
C'mon Derek, think it over... I'm getting serious withdrawal symptoms of not seeing your bare legs

You could use a possible gig then as a warm up for the post Christmas gig.. I presume we are getting the usual post Christmas gig..

Hi Derek
Please, please, please, please, please ..... (you get the idea). I've been rabbiting on at Tracey about how great 4GM were at Rotherham, and would love to see you guys live again myself.
I will even bring you another packet of Earl Grey tea flavoured bikkies (if I can find any at Christchurch airport on the way out)!!!! (assuming you liked them lol, you never did say).

C'mon guys.. Let's know if there's any chance of a December gig while the international posse are in town!! This could be a once in a lifetime chance for some folk. If poss, and I hope I'm not asking too much, is there any chance of it being an open age gig? I know that there's going to be a young teenager making the trip from Oz with her mum who would love to see 4GM.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Love JG xx

Oh gosh, looks like I better purchase the "bulk" lot.
My suitcase will have a few clothes, thermals as everyone keeps telling me how cold its gonna be EEK, and the rest taken up with Berocca !!! Priorities......sigh
Just for information and just in case anyone is interested in planning "something"........it looks like the Oz/NZ posse will be leaving Glasgow on Sat 6th December.
I am so looking forward to meeting up with so many of you! Counting down already!!

That sounds so great - possibly having the chance to see you performing at the time around the 4th of December.
I am still thankful - that I was able to get a ticket for SM on Dec. 4th in Glasgow ( Thanks again - Shirl and Keith )
And it would be the cream on top as we say in good old Germany to see you too !
Have a nice evening - hugs, Kerstin
