    Default Strangeways Night

    I would like to make you aware of an up and coming regular Smiths / Morrissey Nights based in Glasgow Scotland, (but not exclusively).

    As it's very much in the planning stage at the moment I thought I would explain the concept of what I’m hoping to achieve , Basically I am looking to throw three nights a year in relatively small venues (50 - 80 people) , send out the information via a mailing list and face book group and sell the tickets in advance. The idea of this is to manage the crowd we have and build a regular crowd base for these events in a word of mouth underground way rather than the normal flyer to death approach.

    I have thrown a few Smiths / Morrissey nights in the past under the name (unite) and they have been very well received and always sold out, some information about the last one can be found at…

    http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/sho...7&postcount=21

    The nights will all be non profit and the proceeds will be split between guaranteeing the future of the nights and a local animal welfare charity.

    Every night we will give away limited edition badges and for future events we have some planned guest DJ’s.

    So if you’re interested and fancy signing up please send an email with “add me” in the address bar to Strangeways.night@gmail.com

    Or join the Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/...68823293142843


    Our first night is planned for February and the venue will be confirmed first to the mailing list and Facebook page.

    Splendid idea.
    If the new club nights are half as exciting as your previous 'Unite' Smiths nights, fun, fun, fun will be had!
    Your public awaits you Vivabob

    PS: nice touch with the animal charity beneficiary!

    Luv Nightie
