see..

the colossus is melting
a gigantic ticket
arrived today
only it had shrunk
but it has a fine jacket
a fancy new envelope

the punk poet 

(also an aka for John Cooper Clarke)

Nottingham gig ticketing drivel
Two of the three independent (sort of) gig ticketing firms based in Nottingham. Gigantic established by the venue Rock City / The Rescue Rooms. See Tickets started by a now defunct Nottingham record shop, Way Ahead Records, but now owned by an international media company. Alt tickets similarly has links to Rock City, as well as a few other venues nationwide.

Noise
Warning! Melt Banana are 1990's pioneers of "Noise" which sounds like it reads. Recommended by some old friends who are avid noise fans (as well as other more melodic genres) looking forward to meeting up with them at this gig and some other similar ones.
