| | | ?? | | | | | ?? Special One Off Gig |  Owngig.com are delighted to announce that due to phenomenal interest being registered in the Blow Monkeys, we are able to stage a one-off strictly private show with the band to celebrate the launch of their new album.
The gig will take place in London, at the old Devil's Tavern pub (now named the Prospect of Whitby) in Wapping Wall on Saturday 22nd November 2008 (see the official band site http://www.theblowmonkeys.com for confirmation). Ardent fans of the band will know that not only is the Devil's Tavern the name of their new album, but is also the venue where it all started for them back in 1981. It became the regular watering hole for their after rehearsal drinking sessions.
Some 27 years later this unique and celebratory evening will start from 8pm at the pub, oozing with history and character. The event will feature a number of special acoustic performances throughout various intimate rooms in the pub, to be followed by the main event - a full performance from the band who will take you through a specially selected set of tunes both past and present.
The rooms will be closed off to the public for the entire evening and the only other attendees will be selected journalists to cover the event for radio and press, as well as some special guests of the band.
Tickets are offered at a fixed price of £100, and will not only include your entrance to this one-off event but also transport to the venue from a central London location on a specially-commissioned Blow Monkeys double decker bus.
Further to this there is an exclusive commemorative package being offered to all those attending the show at a cost of £50 (this must be pre-purchased).
It includes the following:
- An exclusive recording of the evening's gig available for download after the event, and only available to those purchasing this package
- A Blow Monkeys limited edition "Devil's Tavern" T-shirt
- A photograph of you with the band on the night
- A previously unavailable recording on CD of "Animal Magic" and "Superfly" (a cover of Curtis Mayfield's track). These are exclusive live tracks from the band's 1986 concert at The Los Angeles Palace Theatre.
The package will be available for collection on the evening, except for the recording of the show and the photograph - both of which will be downloadable afterwards.
Please note that no cameras or recording equipment will be allowed at the venue.
All in all it will be a hugely exciting event and ticket sales are already indicating this is going to sell out soon.
As someone who is a member of the Blow Monkeys mailing list we are offering you the chance to get hold of a maximum of 2 tickets right now. Simply visit http://www.Owngig.com buy follow the instructions, and we'll see you there on the night.
Finally please feel free to email me with any questions about the gig at my address below.
Many thanks,
Richard
