Ballroom #11, Valentines Day

Holyghost

Ballroom of Romance presents:
Ballroom #11

The Lower Deck, Friday Feb 14th, Doors 9pm (come early!)

Valentine's Day extravaganza:
Valentine's Day is on the 14th February for those of you not into love.

The Dudley Corporation

http://www.thedudleycorporation.com

"Formed sometime in the distant present, The Corpo are pioneers in the quixotic and intoxicating field of MamrockTM". Lovely songs about love, loss, Joss and toss, the Dudley Corporation are one of Ireland's leading bands. Back from a tour of America and Iceland last year, the Dudleys will be bringing their wry observations on romance to this Valentine's Day
special.

As Japanese mag, Buy or Die said: "one listening it just does you can
understand the guitar Band which had the original tea which it will be
secure". Or something along those lines.

The Tycho Brahe

http://www.thetychobrahe.com

Their debut album This Is… is unquestionably one of the best albums of 2002. Featuring members from the Plague Monkeys and the Jimmy Cake, the Tycho Brahe have a gorgeous and intimate style unique to themselves. We're delighted to have these guys around for our Valentine's Day – they make music you'd want to propose to!

Derrick Devine

http://www.derrickdevine.com

With a debut e.p. entitled 'Charge' out on the 25th of february, Derrick Devine plays his first gig with a full band at the Ballroom of Romance. Derrick name-checks the likes of Elliott smith, the Frames and dEUS as influences so expect a number of quiet, acoustic-based gems with moments

Doors 9pm. Free CD-r to the first 100..

Hmmm this sounds most interesting.....
Valentines Day - bitterness and alcohol now with added music hurrah!:D

o sleep

... which means that if i'm going (and i probably will be) i'll get to see the dudley corporation two nights in a row ... not that i'm complaining, of course.

The Tycho Brahe album is smashing. Just smashing. Derrick Devine has a 66e unit in his band too so he should be afraid, very afraid.

GET THEE TO A BALLROOM!!!

Will you teach me how to sing? i always wanted to be able to sing. I can't pay you though, or turn up for singing lessons, or sing for that matter.

In Portobello. Walking from town toward the canal, turn right at the canal by the Portobello College. The road curves round to the right and he Lower Deck is the Pub straight in front of you.
