Says the Kid:
See how niftily I managed to fit it all around the wrong release date?
The Academy group offered me the three shows and I’m like – that’s fine, the brum and london ones are 200 or so capacity but bristol… that’s a 1600 capacity venue what on earth are you talking about??? They said – go for it lad. Curate a night, put a line up together that rocks and the night is yours…. So I decided to go for it. I’m a bit scared that there’ll be about 7 people there on the night and we’ll all be terribly embarrassed but I’ve got a funny feeling we might just pull it off.
So the full line-up for the Bristol Academy show is summat like this (in Kid’s own words)…
