Last Night's Fun - Last chance to see

Last Nights Fun are at Ashover Village Hall in Derbyshire for their last gig on Sat 20th December 2008

I think the economics of running a band with members from the far corners of the UK and the cost of travel have caught up with them!

Support will be Hannah James (of Kerfuffle and The Demon Barbers Roadshow) and Jim Molyneux (of 4 Square and winner of the BBC Young Musician of the year - Percussion)

All this and Real Ale brewed down the road at The Poet's Corner - How can you resist?

Tickets & Further info from Book online or Tel 01623 812739

I count myself very lucky to have seen them several times. Especially the two times they came and played in our local pub in Farlington.

Bugger. Can't make it. I suppose I'll have to wait for the reunion tour!

Over on the BBC site there is a thread about the Last gig but no mention of where it is - I assume if I post details they will be removed so:

Last Night's Fun Final Gig at Ashover Parish Hall Derbyshire

Support will be Hannah James (of Kerfuffle and The Demon Barbers Roadshow) and Jim Molyneux also of 4 Square)

Tickets are available but going fast.

Oh, the memories of Warwick where I first heard them, and of all the places between there and Beverley 'Not the White Horse' Folk Club.

Shame about the short notice... and the time of year.

Give them a good send off - I've got to be somewhere else.

Not short notice really - been advertised widely elsewhere.

But I am local....

Talking to the organisers last night - there are a few tickets left. Get in there quick is my advice.

I'll miss them, but was lucky to see one of their last gigs a couple of weeks ago. It was a special and memorable night, so if you're anywhere near Ashover don't let those tickets for their final performance go to waste!

These guys deserve far more acclaim than they've had. Top class musicians with genuine love for their music, and top lads too.

It's in my local area and this weekend I'm doing my Xmas visit to the southern branch of my family in Reading.

Err - armanaya, that ticket link is 404. And the number is ringing out. The link on the Funs site doesn't have on-line booking or a box office number. Can you try again please? Thanks

Tom

That's nice, as I've heard them say Tom Napper was a notable influence on Chris and Denny/LNF's early career.

Can't believe we won't see them any more. In this case it's quite true that "we don't know what we've got 'til it's gone".

Anyone know of any affordable accomodation in the vicinity, would love to go but don't fancy the drive home

My tip is go to one and if they are full they ALWAYS have a mate doing it.

If they're anything like at the penultimate, stand well back. They were right on the edge with the second encore. I thought Chris was going to explode. Incredible!!!! Have a good un!
