bump p.s. we will be playing amsterdam!

obligatory bump! anyone going? we are planning to play amsterdam! the song that is..

Thankyou you very much CJ!

Yeah it depends which part of London you're in. We're coming down on the train from Liverpool and then getting a train from Kings Cross to Watford, which takes about twenty minutes ;)

Oh right, I thought you said something about him sounding false. All this time on the Internet is making me crazy! Anyway, whereabouts are you from Carol_Jade?

Fair enough MF, it's costs a ridiculous amount to fly between the continents. VLC got offered a gig in New York last year, but we'd have to have gone hundreds of pounds out of pocket just to get there! Someone needs to sort it out... if only I knew someone who worked for Ryanair! How were CP at Wembley? I missed out on the tour with Jay-Z, it got mixed reviews from friends of mine who went to the Manchester show.

Maggot Brain is a song by one of my favourite bands of all time, Funkadelic. If you're after a way to waste ten minutes - give it a listen > [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3bleXWaCk]YouTube- Funkadelic - Maggot Brain[/ame] It's basically a 9minute guitar wig out where the guitarist got told to play with the feel as if his mother had just died. Works for me!

Hey Martin fan, thankyou for watching to vid and paying attention to our Chris's movements, I will pass on your seal of approval.. it will mean alot to him! It's a shame the vid quality is poor as that was an awesome show, lots of CP fans singing along the whole way through... and you might be able to tell I enjoyed it alot!

From the Bull and Gate website "We don't book covers or tribute bands" :veryangry2: D'oh! I will give it a shot anyway. In the words of a great man: "If you never try, you never know!"

That is really useful stuff, thankyou very much indeed! Alot of those venues I'd never heard of so I'll drop them a line this afternoon. The problem with London is that it's not really a huge tribute act place, but there's no harm in trying. I may mention that the Coldplay fans are about town and that may give us some leverage :) Isn't the bull and gate the place were Coldplay got offered a record deal?

Haha, I'm sorry to have to say this but I fear you may be waiting a while! ANY other request, for sure! *waits to get a request to play something by the Nappies....*

Agh gutted, unfortunately we're taking the first two weeks of May out from the band so I can do my exams - I'm training to be an accountant (it's a lot less fun than Coldplay, I can assure you). Keep in touch!

I see! Always nice to hear about a bunch of Coldplay fans uniting for the love of the cause, nice work ;) Here's our current gig list if you fancy having a look > http://www.vivalacoldplay.co.uk/allgigs.htm Unfortunately all our gigs in the month of July are in the North-West of England, which judging by the flag by your username might make things a bit difficult for you! (We've just confirmed a new one on the 24th July in Swindon which is near the South-West, if that helps at all!) However, if you know of any music venues by where you live/where you're meeting the Coldplayers I will send a few e-mails out and see if I can get VLC a gig. It will give me something to do to while away the lonely hours :snore:

Great stuff, if you do come feel free to introduce yourself.. I'm in the Johnny role!

Thankyou guys!
