Books
Why, since you mention it there are still a few copies of the Adelphi's 20th anniversary book "One Man and his Bog", celebrating 20 years on the infamous 'toilet tour' and including 2 cd's with 39 tracks by 34 artists including some rare live and demo recordings. Copies can be snapped up at the club for a mere £15...
About me: New T-shirt design out now! Available at the bar, priced a mere £10.
This month with a contest: name all 37 'Adelphi legends' shown on the shirt. The winner will recieve a free t-shirt next month in the size of their choice. Pick up your entry form when you buy your shirt - strictly limited to 25. There are still some 'Hull's Angels', 'Welcome to De Greysland' and 'Heart' designs left too.
I work at the Adelphi in Hull, for which I consider myself quite lucky because unlike most people I know I enjoy my job! Even though I spend a large amount of time on my hands and knees scrubbing floors and stuff. I should probably mention that I DO NOT BOOK BANDS!! If your band would like to play the Adelphi, I'll be happy to pass the appropriate details on, or you could pop on over to www.myspace.com/adelphiclub where they are on screen. I put this page up purely to spread the word about the old place, and get listings direct to you lot out there, not to be hassled by impecunious musicians...
The Adelphi club has been open now for nearly 25 years, and to celebrate this, there is a new limited edition t-shirt on sale at the bar each month. Shirts cost £10 and come in all sizes including girls skinny fit.
The Adelphi is now one of the last surviving underground live music venues in the country. Fiercely independent, Paul Jackson, the club's owner, has championed original live music and nurtured fledgling talent, many of whom have gone on to become household names. The club has played host to thousands of bands - local, national and international - including Oasis, Primal Scream, The Housemartins, Pavement, The Fall, Radiohead, Supergrass and recently such up and coming names as The Ordinary Boys, The Kooks, and Bloc Party.
I keep the current week's listings on display here and send out a bulletin by way of a reminder on Monday, but if you would like to receive them every Monday (complete with weblinks and reviews) straight in your inbox, then join the emailing list! Send me an email titled 'subscribe', to adelphi_wendy@yahoo.co.uk, and it shall be done.
Flyers with all the latest info can be picked up from the club and a number of sites in and around the town centre: Pave, the library, tourist info, the Ferens gallery, Chinese Laundry, Beasleys, Blue Banana, Offbeat records, Kathmandu, Experience; and on Beverley Road, Antones guitars & Repercussion. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone, and if you know anywhere else I can leave some then please let me know!
