Panic over, they've arrived at last. Less than 2 weeks to go now

[zoombini]

So who are chicks on speed?

I know nowt about them, do they have any top hits I might have heard on the radio?

[zoombini]

Just booked a motel, At least we will have somewhere to crash in the evening.
Hopefully we will be able to have a tour of Cardiff shops etc before we go into the concert, maybe even the nightlife afterwards.
Although I'm not to sure about that, taking a few cans to the motel sounds safer to me.

Try the travel lodge link in this thread.

Although the real local ones are booked, there is space further afield.

Any idea how long its going to last, as i'm thinking about catching the last train back to bristol which will be about 11 oclock.

[zoombini]

I'd like to know that too.

Any idea what we can & cannot take in?
I.E. are we going to be alowed to take bottled water & food in with us without it being confiscated?

oooh, only 6 left, should I get them & save the trip to Cardifff, would I be able to get back my £103 for the Cardiff ones?

Chicks on Speed.



Looks like they have needed plenty of it too.

I downloaded thier free WMA file from Epitonic.com.

Well, I just hope that they are not on too long & we can get to some real music from old Mr Brown before Ant does his stuff.

Debs, you will have to let us know if they were any good? (I know the Chili's are going to be).
EDIT: OMG! wacky site, seems to have just been revamped too, maybe it was for this tour?

[Marge]

Well, I'm at bb31's house atm and we are just getting ready to go, armed with umbrellas, wellies and flask cos it is throwing down here

We'll be back later to report unless I get a better offer from a certain Mr Kiedis

[Marge]

Ok, we went, we saw, we came home............

Awesome, Breathtaking, Fantastic. we could go on all night but those boys know how to rock big time.

Highlights were Under The Bridge, By The Way and Californication for me but every song was perfection.

Try to get there after the Chicks On Speed have been on, they were dire but James Brown proved why he is the Godfather of Soul

Chicks on Speed came on about 5, James Brown was about 7 and the Chili's about 9, it all finished about 10.45 with a mindblowing encore especially the cover songs they did.

Highlights included sheltering under the brolly with various different people (quite an ice breaker ) bb31 falling off the chair, me feeling all faint (must have been the sight of Anthony) and us both moshing. To top it all they have quite the most spectular firework display at the end, trust us you won't be disappointed.
