Main Stage at Leeds! 3rd band in on Sunday.  I love Sundays, me.
Wonder why no appearance at Reading? (I wonder, but don't care)

The best things happen Up North!

The best things happen Up North!

Am I right Doctor?

[SMc55]

Oh, most definately, and due to get even better this summer I hear  :D

[Jim Donaldson]

What's this then,no Scottish gig ???

[Magnix]

Except for the Leeds Festival on Sunday August 29th, MMJ will also be at Reading the day before, main stage as well ...

[mcc]

What's this then,no Scottish gig ???

I know. I didn't even get Leeds tickets this year and couldn't for the life of me get a Glasto ticket. *slumps to floor and dies*

[Rob Turner]

What's this then,no Scottish gig ???

They are playing Aberdeen Lemon Tree on Wed August 25th. Check www.lemontree.org for details.

I'm so pissed off I'll be missing that gig. I leave Aberdeen on that day to fly down to Reading festival. At least I can see them at Reading (and Glastonbury) but a gig in my hometown would have been ace!! I dream they change the gig to the Tuesday night.

[wordawg]

Anybody know who is/are supporting the boys in the UK?
Rather hope its not Junior Senior again, they caused a 'friend' to drink to excess.
(At least that's my recollection)

[SMc55]

Would this be the friend who had to guide you to bed after the show?  ;)

[wordawg]

Answering that may violate my 5th ammendment rights.
Allegedly.


(Come on, you didn't like them either)

[SMc55]

When I'm going to see MMJ I like everybody!!!

[wordawg]

Especially big hairy geordies? ::)
