Where would you like to see AFGM play, venue and town?[b]With AFGM Playing in the Portpatrick Village Hall, where do you think they should play next, and why?BIG TAM 
|
| BAlmighty |
As they play quite a lot of Simple Minds they should consider dates in Belgium and Germany as both these countries have a massive SM following. There has also been substantial media interest in Simple Minds there, more than the UK in my opinion, so I think its worth a try.
I would love to see them in the Hamburg area just because I have friends there who would love to see AFGM and travel is cheap & easy from Glasgow. Sorry I cant help with a venue but I think May would be a good time. |

Hi Tam 
More gigs in and around Glasgow please for 2006 anywhere even King Tut's small and intimate 
Looking forward to more dates being added Love Fun

 How about the Brook, Portswood, Southampton - great venue and the likes of Paul Young and Los Pacs play there as do the SAS Band and many more.........please dont forget us Southerners........

It would be great if AFGM played a few gigs in the South this year (but can you please bring Mr Harris with you?).

I sincerely hope that AFGM make it to the U.S. and play at ANY venue in San Diego. I'll even take the band out for some tasty Mexican food! |

| BASS LONDON |
Erm how about the borderline here in london to get your feet wet?? |
| Jim C |
the Borderlinehow big a venue is the Borderline, how many punters can it take?Jim C |
| Guest |
venuesBorderline is a bit small for the size of show we put on,(and I hope I don't come up as guest again). The stage at the Academy in Islington ,the smaller venue, is also too small.maybe if we do the main venue. There's even the Water rets theatre at Kings Cross, but again the sfage size is wrong. HmmmmmDerek |
| Barry Beatmaster |
how about the Garage in highbury? |
| Girlie |
How about The Fleece in Bristol (where Spear play), or if you want somewhere bigger The Bristol Bierkeller or The Carling Academy (where DMW have played the last few times).
Anywhere in Bristol - please, please please!! |
| Will |
How about Glasgow again real soon
Nah! seriously! love to see a gig here again,my mate missed the last one,to much festive cheer(that right Clarky??  )
|
| Guest |
will you know i wouldnt miss a gig ,with a hangover,  i had plans to meet derek have a beer and get him to sign some old 7" discs,but as you know the local neds put paid to that and a little trip to paisley hospital didnt help,so does any one want to buy a unused ticket,
but getting back to the topic it would seem that after the last couple of glasgow gigs there is a good shout for a good size brittish tour but it has to be before march as mr.harris will be going on a world tour with numan. |
| Jean Genie |
I take it this was Clarky posting...
Hope you are ok now, and look forward to seeing you next time.. |

South Gigs Shame South Shields isnt further South, Ian.
How about doing the Eastleigh Festival this year? Well its actually moved to Wickham can fly down to Southampton!
Its Thurs 3 Aug - Sun 6 Aug www.wickhamfestival.co.uk What do you reckon then? Any other Southerners think this is a good idea?
Steph |

I'll send them an e-mail. We may get a gig there.
Good Man Derek

I'd love to see you at the club Neferiti in Gothenburg, Sweden. |
| Jean Genie |
Hi Magnus, Good to see you here!
Patrik went to see Aberfeldy at Debaser in Stockholm the other night, and said that would be an ideal place for Four Good Men to play. Hopefully they can put together a few dates in Sweden for you good people out there
|
| Guest |
I would really love to see A Few Good Men play at "The Big Weekend" in Galashiels. www.thebigweekend-borders.co.uk
Having been a Big Country and Simple Minds fan for years (more than I care to mention), I think AFGM would be a brilliant addition to the already great line-up (which includes Deacon Blue). CP
|
| Jean Genie |
That event looks like a corker, CP.. Even if they didn't manage to get on this years list, it would be great to see them doing it in the future. I love the borders, and it would be a great excuse to go!!
|
| Guest |
The Big Weekend in Galashiels is a stunning festival for 4gm to play. Really looking forward to it. Hope the Sun shines on 4gm that day.
Gareth |
| d forbes |
Cheers Gareth,
it's all thanks to James Newall for this one. We are really looking forward to the Festival. See you there!!!!   Derek
|
| d forbes |
James Newall...I'm sure I typed that...It was James Newall who persevered with that gig...
Derek
|
| d forbes |
What's going on with this wacky ass thing...It was James who got this gig. For some reason , when I type his name it is coming out with my surname, Gremlins in the machine....or Forbes's

How's about playing on Big Tam's arse? It's certainly up there with the Barrowlands!!!!
Johnny Cockroach, London. |
| M Aitken |
Why that’s a great idea Johnny Cockroach!!! But he needs it for his mate Tom Bombadil to keep kissing it……
All the best Mabozer Aitken |
| Guest |
Good shout ....Tam's baker's a marvellous place to play. Must go and keep my eyes peeled..
Papillon |
| Christine |
Any new songs for the Galashiels set?
Christine |
| Louis Dega |
Papillon, how about a gig in the dusty bin?
it looks nice and dry? Louis Dega |
| Geoff Capes |
You could play in the crack of my arse...
Geoff

| Loretta |
Ew....

| Loretta Martin |
Isn't that that big wrestler guy?
L.M..

| Loretta |
That was big Daddy
|
| Tom Bombadil |
Too many Tag nuts for my liking. How's about another Oran Mor gig, Big Tam likes that place. I saw him staggering out of there with Derek the other night., he looked a right Zoomer...
Tom Bombadil
|
| B Tam |
I might have had one or two refreshments but there was no chance of getting drunk when you’re out with tight arse kebab man and wee Papillon that cant the bar!!! Thank god Mrs F was getting the beers in when you went to the loo.
Big Tam News at Ten Sober |
| Tom Bombadil |
Hey ho,
Big Tam sober...I don't believe it. Anyway, must go , it's time for my medication...... Tom Bombadil

| Gina Hervey |
Would it be possible for FOURGOODMEN to put on a show in Glasgow around Xmas time. You could invite other musicians to guest, maybe at a Barrowlands show? I would certainly be up for coming to a show like that. I think you are a tremendous band. I saw you at Falkirk and was gobsmacked at how good you were. Ian's voice was perfect, and Jane never stopped all day. Her voice is superb too. You should publish more photographs of the girl Piper too. The show really lifts,(if that is possible), when the girl plays the bagpipes on 'In a Big Country'. More of that please..You are the best band I have seen in ages, so please play more in Scotland.
thanks for your time Gina Hervey |
| Belfrygirl |
Anywhere in Dunoon lol
how about a bbq and show in my backgarden
|
| d forbes |
We'll play Dunoon anytime, don't worry about that. Let us know the venue that would be suitable. We are a Scottish band, so we will play anywhere that wants us. I can stay with my good friends just up from Strachur....

Derek,
When are you and your merry men planning a sojourn north to The Granite City. If Spear can make it here then sure you can !! PS - Saw SOD at Westworld Weekend 5, wasn't the same without your bass, those little touches on Europa etc. Hope we see you soon with 4GM or SOD. Stewart. |
| d forbes |
Where do you suggest we play?
Derek
|
| FUNFOXYLADY007 |
Hi Derek
When you re-scheduling the King TuT's tho I think this place is too small for you guys, I suggest Hamilton Town Hall then I've not far to crawl home Love
Fun xxxx |
| Guest |
Derek,
Are you familiar with the Lemon Tree venue in Aberdeen ? A great venue for gigs and probably around the right size, the Dead Men Walking played there last year, so Kirk and Liam will know all about it. Bruce will know it too as he was there and has been with Big Country. They have a website you can check out. Just saw Roddy Frame there last week. That's your best bet, if not then my back garden could accommodate a few hundred at a squeeze !!. Cheers, Stewart |
| Loretta |
Nice one Stewart, we shall keep you in mind!

| ALI BIN TABNAB |
How about an Indian Restaurant is South Shields fella's.
Hey, if Madoona can do it then so can you lot. Nice lass Madoona, she even dedicated a song to owld Tabnab. Poppadom Preach Yeah, yeah.........Al get me coat........... 
|
| bigcountry1 |
preston,or anywhere in the northwest would be great. |
| John-Boy |
emm....hate to keep on about this but errmm.....
Please come to Toronto soon. No shortage of venues here for your caliber. The Docks, The Phoenix, The Opera House, Massey Hall to name a few. Outdoor venues like the Molson Amphitheatre (formerly "Forum") or Kingswood Music Theatre, or Molson Park (Barrie) etc. I'll watch the tour dates - it'd be one of the only few reasons for the wife And I to get a rare night out. Thanks John |
| John-Boy |
It's happening. It's really happening!
They're coming to Toronto, booked at The Opera House November 25. (Wear a jumper lads, its a wee bit cold here at that time) Oh wait, you're all Scots, so it'll feel warmer than usual for you I suppose.....
Anyway, I don't want to try to take any credit or anything, but just have a wee peek at the venues I suggested they play. O, what's that? The Opera House oh, interesting! Can't wait. Beers on me! (hopefully not literally, ahem...) Cheers John |
