The Sounds - Hull

Just a quick blog entry before the New Years Honours list.
I have booked 4 tickets for "The Sounds" who are playing at the Welley Club in Hull on THURSDAY the 25th of January.
The tickets were £3 each so if anyone does not want to go in the end you can easily buy your way out the trip!
Guess we need to decide if its going to be a drinking night (if it helps the time for them is down as 10PM until 12:30AM) and if so book a taxi back from Hull.
Anyway if you are interested its pretty hard to get the album in the UK at the moment - I am going to source a copy while in Sweden hopefully so will lend to those interested on my return.
