Movies
A couple of videos filmed by Kaz at onebigwellingtonboot nights:
About me: One Big Wellington Boot is a small collective of dedicated people who put on independent gigs in the Lincoln area. If you come to our gigs, you can expect good and interesting music for as little cost as possible. Depending on how rich we are at the time, bands might also look forward to cheap european booze, food and also, regardless of our current fiscal situation, our wonderfully comfortable floorspace. The posters are done by either the lovely Sal or the lovely Lewis. Usually. But not always. Our good friend James usually acts out the DJ role to celestial standard. He runs a record store called Select Sounds, which is down the High Street (just next to Dixon Street). Check it out, Lincoln.
If you want to get in touch with us without using the bastion of culture that is myspace, your best bet is probably onebigwellingtonboot[at]hotmail[dot]co[dot]uk [although sometimes that goes for a week or more without being checked so myspace is good if it's urgent.]
NO MORE GIGS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR (PROBABLY). WE GOT OTHER SHIT TO DO. SO, IF YOU'RE A BAND THAT WANTS GIGS; DON'T SEND US MESSAGES BECAUSE THEY'LL JUST GET DELETED, AND PROBABLY PISS US OFF A LITTLE BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU DIDN'T BOTHER READING THIS PAGE, WHICH MEANS YOU JUST WANT ANY OLD SHOW, WHICH IS COOL, BUT IT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT.
WE'LL BE BACK BUT UNTIL THEN, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND US AT OTHER SHOWS IN LINCOLN (BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME SWEET PROMOTERS AROUND THIS CITY) AND BEYOND.
PEACE XX

Why? Why!?!? Why put The Retro Spankees on a night we're playing too? I've not seen them for a couple of years so may well dash across the Brayford to catch their set. Looking forward to it, Tom.
