Gig Info No.8

Okay finally I can confirm the Damned Gig on the 10th Feb. 96. Following a conversation over the phone with the promoter and Dave Vanian's manager on the 9th Jan 96. I can tell you that the gig is definitely on (after an uncertain future), however the Bath date as advertised in the music press has been changed (for capacity reasons only) to Birmingham, the full details follow:-

10th Feb. 96 at the Institute, Birmingham

The Damned will be headlining the "Smash It Up" all dayer which starts at 2pm and will be playing all your faves like Dozen Girls, Smashi It Up, New Rose, Neat Neat Neat Etc.The Damned are due to take stage at 12pm and set to finish around 2am. Other bands will include Sham 69, The Anti-Nowhere League, The Meteors, GBH, Peter & The Test Tube Babies, John Cooper Clarke, Demented Are Go, Chaos UK, English Dogs, Lost Souls.
Ticket cost 15 stirling pounds.
Tickets can be bought by sending a SAE & cheque to 43 Woodbridge Rd., Mosely, Birmingham, B13 8TH or by credit card by ringing 0121 6436101. Further Details can be obtained by ringing 0121 643778.

Take Note:- Due to Rat Scabies's legal action the Damned will have to be billed as "The EX-DAMNED"! But the line up will include Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Paul Gray & Ray's Babies! (alias Garrie Dreadful, hee hee!)
As a plea to all Damned fans who wish to see their (and mine) beloved band to continue for many more years I would ask everyone to do their best to see this "breakaway" line up survive by promoting is as best your all can, please photocopy this flyer and pass it on to as many people as possible. If this festival is successful then another 2 will be on the cards this year as well as a Damned tour!
