THE (FUCKING) ROSEHIPS REVIVAL

Someone called Pete - hello Pete and thanks - sent us this email:

On Saturday 18th November, the Rosehips will be organising a gig to commemorate the 20th anniversary of playing in Bristol and signing to the Subway Organisation. The Fucking Rosehips, (ace Rosehips tribute band) will be reforming for the occasion to play a set and Rocker (ex-Flatmates, ex-Rosehips) will be playing a dj set of records from the era. It's just an excuse for a get together really but we are looking for suitable bands from the era who may fancy reforming as a one off especially for the night!

I don't know which is more surprising - that the Rosehips have reformed or that there's a Rosehips tribute band. Investigations reveal that the latter write their own songs nowadays, so you won't be seeing the same set played twice. Even if you did, it wouldn't matter that much seeing as it might be all you get for the next 20 years.

You'll notice that the missive doesn't say where the gig is, but my 50p and free flexidisc is on Bristol.

Apologies for the lack of important detail! The gig is at the Glebe in Stoke-On-Trent on Saturday 18th November. To clear up any misunderstanding, the Rosehips are not reforming! The Fucking Rosehips are well fab though!
