    I don't know why anyone truly fell for that. He slags off every city, and at his gigs if he talks to someone in the crowd he always has a few digs, it's almost part of his 'act'.



    Also, the HDM site... ****ing hell. Even with an ad blocker it's a massive pile of ****.

    It's Hiut Denim you're thinking of, they have a factory in Cardigan (they should make cardigans as well, missing a trick), they're very good jeans and at £145 to £230, they're not completely ridiculous prices, but they have a great back-story, if I offered UK made jeans for over £100, I'd get nowhere. I'm actually making a raw Japanese stretch selvedge denim jean for next season, it's pretty much exactly the same as a Hiut jean, only mine are made in Tunisia and will retail at £60.

    Obviously some people are happy to pay extra for a Made in England label, but sadly, not enough.. I'm seeing a jacket factory in the Midlands next week, but it's really with a view to trying to buy jackets at the same prices I normally sell at just with the origin being an added selling point.

    I have no prior inside knowledge about the Hull Venue or its plans, but when I saw those Liam Gallagher tweets my first thought was "it's obviously already agreed then" pretty much as Bummers and DD have said. When they tweeted Viking asking them if they wanted to announce a gig this morning at 8:55am that seemed even more obvious. As if they'd just speculatively pick a time like that and pop a tweet across to see if Viking could squeeze them in.

    The announcement is, that the first gig confirmed at Hull Venue is, George Ezra.

    Only those thick enough to think George Ezra will be the only person performing at the arena.

    The George Ezra gig is not until November, there'll be a few before then.

    Obviously he's the only one. That's why the arena was built, just for that gig.

    Fans of who? George Ezra because the Venue has such a snall capacity it can't accommodate them all or fans who wanted to see someone else?

    Some of the comments about the possible LG gig <doh> It obviously wasn't set in stone before the 'tweets', Hull Venue just took the opportunity to ask him after Noel's comments and the kid from Hull's tweets. And Noel does always joke with the crowd during his gigs, as already mentioned. Its nonsense that it was pre-planned. Be great if it comes off. As you were.

    Yeah, you see what happens when internationally successful performing artists are planning their live performances for the year ahead - what they do is they leave a few nights spare here and there just in case a new to launch venue happens to publicly tweet them to see if they randomly are available to play on a night that the new venue also miraculously has free in its schedule.

    Major performing artists do this all the time, it’s standard procedure these days and not in any way, shape or form an opportunist way to drum up attention and anticipation for an already booked gig.

    No idea why you think it's so comical. I'd say you'd have to pretty naiive not to suspect it probably has been pre-arranged.

    I'm sure that's different to it being 'pre-arranged' and all signed and sealed though, in my opinion. But it was obviously a publicity stunt too.

    I don’t know if he’ll open it but I’d be amazed at the incompetence of Hull Venue if he isn’t playing there.

    ‘Can you play here, go on please...’
    ‘No’.
    ‘Ah well, people have heard of us now. Here’s how to buy tickets for Jasper Carrot and Alistair Macgowan’.

    To be fair, I had no idea Hull Pirates existed until yesterday.

    A bit O/T but not worthy of a thread. Anyone have an opening date for the city centre Papa's outlet?
