If anybody from the Cope camp is interested here's the contact:

Very kind of you to say so old chap! I'd love to be offered some more gigs like the Club Dune thing, that was a brilliant night.

Thanks (both). I think the Inn on the Green is at its best in the spring / summer (especially with the park across the way and the bar balcony) so the time to do it would be between late April and the start of the World Cup.
Was a fantastic turn out last time so I am sure Hami and I would be happy to put the time in if the interest is there. Perhaps a two-dayer with a wider bill would be better value for folks who are travelling up and staying over?
Once we've got the two new albums finally ready for public consumption (one with the full band and one a trio set) then we'll be doing something along those lines again I'm sure.
Recent Cope favourite Samuel Katarro has been on our invite list since his manager / publisher sent us Beach Party in 2008. And there is always the option of bringing Damo back for another run at the world's-longest-song record. All sorts of possibles and probables.

Todd, Kiss, Iggy and Tangerine Dream are high on the list in terms of those bands revisiting former glories plus Spiritualized, The Mars Volta, Jerry Dammers' Sun Ra big band and any Cope related thing in London. And I hope Ronnie James Dio makes a full recovery.
Otherwise I am planning on spending a lot more time at small venues like the Green Note in Camden where people seem to be able to put their iPhones away for an hour and shut up while the bands are playing.

Yeah, the Club Dune/HH shindig in April was brilliant - certainly a highlight of the gig going year as far as I'm concerned
Another one would be most welcome
Ian, if you decide to do a Club Dune night at the start of the World Cup you should make it a prerequisite that all performers have to do a cover version of a football song - that's got to be worth a laugh and a a raised eyebrow or two

yeah, i went to the mars volta in leeds last month and the crowd were awful... talking, chatting on their phones, looking at pix on their phones, you know... and the band were on cracking form too. nearly spoiled a good night until i decided to spite the buggers by enjoying it even more!
most gigs are like that these days though, it's getting well out of hand. the thing in today's society is it's all about being able to say you've done something as opposed to experiencing it properly when you're actually doing it. i love it most when they talk for the whole song then when it ends they whoop and cheer and clap like they've just been touched by the hand of robbie fowler or something. sorry scenes indeed! and one of the reasons i don't go to many gig these days.
one that was funny is a mogwai gig years ago (1997 or something) and they were playing on the floor in the cornerhouse in middlesbrough and this lad spent ages going on and on about how this was supposed to be a loud band and why were they so quiet, really annoying he was... and on and on... and then bang! in they come, nearly took his head off! so funny! i swear his eyes nearly popped out of his head and his ears started bleeding. twats all!

PENTAGRAM is going on tour, gonna see them in about 4 weeks! (Yes, Bobby Liebling the 70's doom metal freak!!!! He looks like a real maniac on the posters.)
MISSION OF BURMA are making their Madison debut in 2010 (already saw them back in 2002 immediately after the reunion, amazing to think they've already doubled their original 1979-1983 run!)
Yo La Tengo with Times New Viking ought to be a fun night of loud old-timey indie rockin.
That's just what I know about in the next few months.

Ian, it looks like Ronnie James Dio is on the road to recovery, as Heaven And Hell have been added as special guests to the High Voltage Festival in July!
...And yep, don't get me started on the really annoying wankers, who think it's ok to talk loudly at gigs!
I got really wound up at a Boris gig in Sheffield a few years back, and ended up telling a group of twats to "Shut the fuck up, or go outside to talk".
It worked thanfully!

The only ones we have tix for are JEFF BECK at the O2 in Feb and FRANKIE BOYLE in October.
No doubt we'll catch up with NICK HARPER and FOCUS at some point. I'd also like to see NEARLY DAN again. We missed them last year. Oh and JULIAN of course if he ventures out anywhere.
Don't know about festivals yet. Might go to Cropredy or Cornbury (both very local to us but it largely depends who's playing).
