I too bailed at a meet up, for the Islington gig. Even though I recognised so many faces. I think the first boarders would've been the Hudds contingent. And I'm sure it was just round town sometime before the Manchester Weekend. Cheers tasmin  |

May just have been a beer or 2 rather than a full GATNO thing, but I'm sure I met Firmo there too. na Firmo wasn't there Luke was though, not to sure the venue nope. Firmo was there. We must be thinking of different nights. |

The first 2 boarders I met were Wolla and Craig in Manchester Friday 01 October 2004 followed 10 minutes later by Sue and Greg. There was supposed to be a green jumper theme in honour of Brian Clough but very few of us bothered. Cant remember the pub name it was something studenty with cheap drinks. Good times!

No it wasn't the Paramount because I have been there since for many pre-Embrace get togethers. It was small with a pool table that's all I remember.

Yeah think that was it!! Loved that meet up and been enjoying them ever since. Can't believe how many good friends I've made over the years through Embrace and the meet ups! They know who they are.....

I was on my own that night and totally bottled it. Got there early and ended ip about 6th in queue for the gig as I was too scared to go into the pub alone.
Then I went home cross with myself for not showing up.

That was the meet I bottled out of and it was in student land. Was that before the gig at the academy? I remember being in the scream pub and having to wear a sticker for some reason? We were supposed to be there all afternoon but got held up coming over wood head for three hours. |

Then I went home cross with myself for not showing up. This is pretty much what happened to me but it was too late because there weren't any more gigs to put it right. Until now... |

It's all coming back to me lol! It was the gig in the place next to the deaf institute or something?? So if that's the Academy then yes. I would have probably bottled out if I had been on my own but had a mate with me, no matter how friendly people are it can be intimidating turning up on your own to a group meet up. |
