    Good to see Justin and New Model Army getting some respect in Bradford…..
    It’s just a shame the Council don’t have the decency and vision to recognise the huge credit to the city that NMA are!
    Can you ask Justin if there will be any RED SKY COVEN dates in the UK next year, and if they’ll play a gig in the North East???? Pretty Please????
    Oh and can KEYSIDE STRIKE support sometime? That’d be nice! =)

    Thanx again to Justin and the lads for a brilliant weekend in Nottingham!!!!
