    I agree that Lifeline ending is a real shame. Have supported it for most of it's life in all it's different locations. But some need to calm down, all this blaming funk etc. reminds me of the late 70'

    Hi Steve  I hear where your coming from, but this just goes to demonstrate that for promoters it is a impossible task. I've heard on more than one occasion about the same venue these sort of comm

  • Whilst everything does have a lifespan I personally don't think Lifeline had reached the end of its.  Other factors played their part in is demise.  There were still enough 60's unknowns and semi know

I'd just like to say that on the rare occasions we get out (Pete's just not been up to it in the last few years) we usually timed it specifically to be on Lifeline weekends - it's a real pity they've come to their end - have always found the music brilliant. I cannot compliment you guys highly enough for sticking your neck out and doing the right thing musically - a real antidote to the porridge that most venues seem to serve up. I really hope you have the opportunity to continue furthering northern as a living breathing musical form rather than a rotting corpse.

I can recall the conversation Andy,(In the presence of Sam and Arthur)   the "Clash" you talk about wasn't the 100 Club, but the Cleethorpes Weekender in June. If you remember I explained when the Bridlington Weekender started we had looked at the last weekend in April, however this wasn't available. We were offered 3 dates when the venue wasn't booked, The first clashed with Cleethorpes, the second with Whitby and the 3rd we took, which later became established as the last FULL weekend in June. 

I hope Lifeline finds a new home and continues long into the future and wish yourself Mick and Chalky well. I am also hoping to attend a few more Nighters myself now that I don't have shifts to worry about so I'll see you around soon for a chat.

 My original point and what was really supposed to have been a light hearted one..., but yeh  you took the last weekend in June when Lifeline  was on !  It's been and gone but no less rude ... i'm more than happy to sit back and watch everyone squabble and fall out over venues and dates, there really is too much take and very little give !

When I was working on a Monday after an allnighter I was all over the place, not sure if anyone really noticed except the girls in the H&S office opposite who always asked what time I'd got home on Sunday morning. Yeah Steve, Shake Cheri on your brain might make work slightly tricky. Trust you are well.
