Jam up the back passage:
The Second Coming

Can you believe that it is coming up to nearly a whole year since we turned our little alley into a mega music festival (erm don't get too carried away) to rival the best that Chapel Allerton, Glastonbury etc had to offer. This year we are taking on the big boys.... head to head with The Carling LEEDS FESTIVAL. Yes that's right, we have caused the Kaisers to have some serious conflict, do they keep it real or go for the big bucks? Keep your eyes posted to see if they decide to do the right thing.
Anyway set 3pm 1am on SATURDAY 26th August into your diaries for a splendid day and evening of music and munchies, mingling and moshing, mellowing and mincing.
More details will be forthcoming shortly, and feel free to offer up ideas of how you want this to look too. Afterall it's your back yard too.
Stop press: Jim- Armleys Greatest Lover signed up for 2006...........................
Bring your best cutlery for egg and spoon race...................................
Fight breaks out over decision to pull ' best animal made out of vegetable competition'
!

So feel free to post comments or email us if you have any ideas/comments etc. All you need do is bring your mates, some food and drink, a fork, a spoon, a something to rest your weary bottoms on! We will lay on some entertainment, get the ice ready for your drinks, a bbq lit for the bangers and ofcourse put up the bunting!

Can you play the MUSIC this year about 2000000000000 db higher that you did all night last year because I just love being kept awake all NIGHT!!!

if you post your flyers through the letterboxes of residents of old Armley Grammar school you might well get the Kaiser Chiefs turning up, as apparently Ricky has bought the penthouse apartment next to the bell tower.

What a great idea, my friend lives there, i can get her to spy on Ricky and push a flier into his mits, he is however playing at the Carling Festival that day, which presents a bit of a challenge for him when deciding which after show party to go to!

i'm sure "jam up the back passage" is far more appealing than another mundane festival!

I know, but what can you do when a big corporate like Carling comes along and offers to fund you enough to buy up all of old school lofts in one go? What would make you sell out? Imagine in years to come it could be the 'Robinsons Jam up the back passage or the 'BON MAMOM Jam etc'- depending on how gentrified it all becomes round here!

nick said...

are you accepting any visiting axe meisters/guitar heroes?

Emma Bearman said...

nick said...

yes - one talented guitar playing friend would like to "jam" in the back passage.

Emma Bearman said...
