   So... After reading the interview with PUTS we gotta get something sorted here in the UK! Its been too long and im itching 2 see them!

   So does anyone have any ideas? Where do we start? I feel we would be better focusing our energy on 1 location (maybe london???) but living out here in cardiff theres a few decent venues, i think the least we UK cats can do is phone a few venues and ask about? Anyoine know any contact numbers etc? I know Po posted jazz cafe numbers a while back...

   So yeah, lets try and get sum buzz going over here, its gonna be down 2 the fans, not just the P.

   Peace

   Damm straight...we gotta make the effort, even if it fails to deliver.

   I'll give the Social a ring in Notts as that's where I went to see UD...it's a good little venue (seen Jeru there amongst others), and I think Notts could easily fill it, but if we're looking at a one gig venue then as much as I hate to say it...London is 'probably' the best place.

   I'd try contacting venues where the P have already performed (must be a few of those) as they might remember them/working with them before. Being able to provide contact information for possible booking inquiries should prove helpful as well - perhaps spelunk can hook you up with an email address or something...

   I have seen the P in Bristol a couple of times & that was as close to a sell out as possible each time. I am at work now but I am sure I still have the flyers at home. Will try & dig them out & see who promoted the gig if that could help?!?
   Down side is I moved last week so may take some finding.

   The only other idea that springs to mind. Who got UD over here last month? They must have the contacts to get a P tour in place.

   Need to see the P back in the UK!!!

   I've e-mailed the Social in Notts where I went to see UD, so hopefully I'll get some information from them.

   Not promising anything as never made contact with them before, but I'm hoping they'll at least get back to me with something positive...

   Do this the Double K way: "See my hand out? I ain't leavin' 'til my hand's back in my pocket, ya dig?" Occupy Social, man. Tents and sleeping bags 'til the change is made.

    Nothing yet...e-mailed them again the other day.

    Think it's going to be tough to get them over if this is anything to go by, but we've got to keep trying...

    Sorry all. Sky have f**ked up my internet after moving so not had a chance to get online. Can not find my flyers, they are in a flight case somewhere so need to keep searching, not even sure that would help though. Trying to get in touch with a promoter I deejayed for a while ago because he liked the P but not had much luck, + we are down in south devon, not quite the hip hop heartlands.
    On a stupid note, when I moved in to my new gaff I placed a small PUTS poster in the 'under the stairs' cupboard, to see how long it would take for the missis to spot & kick off. It took her two & a half weeks! To be fair, she found it well funny, so its staying there!

    My first post, be gentle with me...

    So, we are all thinking the same thing, I'm in the Bristol area and have some contacts; Lakota mainly, but I may also have an in @ Thekla. My brother is in Swansea and has contacts at the SU there, so we can make this happen peeps!

    I like the idea of a 'Secret House Party' in the UK...

    Welcome to the boards thisismossop.

    Ive sent two emails to the SU in cardiff and also contacted the promoters for another event but recieved nothing back. I guess when your saying "you need to get these guys to your club" the automatic reaction is to think "fanboy/member of the group wasting our time on another sh!tty group who weve never heard of"... DAMN! I even told em all the facts i could, (like they been going over ten years and 8 albums strong) I dunno, i guess promoters want a sure thing, how about we all try and contact one venue? Prehaps in Bristol or Swansea with mossops connections? and maybe they the promoters might listen?

    Peace

    Hi Dudes, last year i believe it was i badgered the Jazz Cafe in London to see if they would sort something out in regards to PUTS coming over. I acutally did get a reply which i think was a pretty standard....thanks for asking type thing and of course nothign came of it. Maybe though if all of us UK heads all targetted the same places at once no matter if where they are in the UK then these people may sit up and take notice. So if every just posts where they have sent the requests to and the contact details we could then hit them on mass.....just an idea

    The Jazz Cafe has got to be the place to hit...seems the most likely to appreciate the P...and although in the Big Smoke, I'd put up with all the sh!t that's involved in going for one glorious night that will never be repeated...

    Who did you make contact with - have you still got the details?
    If so, I'll hit um again, otherwise I'll just send something to whoever.
