Attn Kev Saunders and the Marquee
I'm just back and it was fantastic, I know that you sometimes read this forum Kev and I know that you've had some stick in the past but and I'm so glad you stuck to your guns because tonight will go down in Hertford folklore.
(Marilyn will have it in her History Forum in 30 years from now in the "I was there category ! " )
IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME !
The queue started at 5pm and stretched for over 100 yards ! and apart from those that didn't get in ...... Nobody was disappointed.
Organised within 24 hrs ! .... The 'net' was buzzin'
The guy in front of me in the queue had come from Leicester ! Those behind were taking photo's for their friends in Wales !
What a great gig
Thank you mate

After you've re-read the [url="http://www.hertford.net/yoursay/policy.asp"]Terms & Conditions[/url] of this forum - specifically the part about using the forum as a private messageboard - you might want to explain to everyone else what you're talking about.

I was in the queue but was one of around 50 or so who didn't get it.
The Dirty Pretty Things were in town.

And the huge amount of litter that was left behind after the queue had gone was akin to Hartham on a Saturday evening. Absolutely disgusting! [:(!] [:(!]

an obtuse patronising answer admin ... you sound like a headmaster ... don't discourage, it's good to have new members on here.

It's great that Hertford can attract such a cutting edge band. More of this sort of thing will kick the place into the 21st century. Well done who ever was responsible - hopefully more will follow!

Kev is a great promoter and a God amongst men but it was Strange Place Club, not Kev, that was responsible for bringing DPT to Hertford. Having said that, if Kev and the other people who run the Marquee hadn't had the guts and vision to start the venue in the first place, Hertford would not have seen Does it offend you yeah? Dan le sac & Scroobius Pip, Grace, Blood Red Shoes, The Feeling and dozens of other famous and/or nationally-acclaimed bands that SPC has brought to the Hertford Marquee.

Hiya - thanks for the comment but Rachel's right (not about God amongst men but I'm willing to go along with that, thanks Rachel!) it was Strange Place Club who got DPT to the marquee and not me. I must say though that I got them involved in the first place because I never assume I can everything myself. I congratulated Matt and mark from SPC on it and although getting them involved didn't do me personally any favours, it helped achieve what I'd hoped: that we'd get serious bands like Dirty Pretty Things in hertford!
Not bad eh!
cheers

Yeah nice one :)
I was ill when the gig happened so I didnt get a chance to go :(
There have been so many decent bands at the Marquee, just frustrates me how so many people wont bother to go and see bands at the marquee, but they'll pay a fortune to see the same band at Glastonbury or another festival or at another venue further down the line, pisses me right off! :(
Gladly not everyone is like that however.... :)
