Mister Smiths, BOURNEMOUTH, Dorset, UK

A major event. The show's in two parts. The first features 45 minutes' worth of Galahad favourites. There's then a short intermission followed by the piece de resistance — a live performance of Year Zero in its entirety. Sound and video recordings of the show are planned for possible inclusion in future projects.

The band are handling ticket sales themselves for this gig (although a small number are now available from the venue). Advance reservations are strongly recommended since numbers are strictly limited. Prices are £6 in advance, £7 on the night. See here for how to buy — but note that in order to save costs (bearing in mind the already low charge), tickets will be made available for collection from the venue (at the door) on the night of the show, rather than being posted out beforehand. If you have any queries, just e-mail .

Directions to this venue are available at www.mistersmiths.com.

Doors open 8ish, the band are on at 9.00pm.

[Afterword from Stu C: And a very raucous, very sweaty (!), rip-roaring evening was had by all. The setlist from this sell-out bash included: Sleepers, Myopia, Bug Eye, Lady Messiah — followed by what was euphemistically described as a "beer break" — then Year Zero itself (though time constraints forced the odd snip here and there). Room 801 provided the encore.]

Mr Kyp's, POOLE, Dorset, UK

A bigger local venue for the band than Mister Smiths, Galahad are playing here for the first time. The place will hold more people in a less confined space, and gives extra scope for the pyrotechnics and what-not that the band are planning to unleash during the evening!

Tickets are available at £6 in advance from the band, though a number are available at the venue itself. They'll be £7 on the night, but advance purchase is strongly recommended. See here for purchase options / details. If you have any queries, just email .

Please note that all advance tickets will be dispatched to purchasers by post BEFORE the gig, and that no tickets can be reserved without prior payment!

In a break from tradition, advance tickets won't be available for this gig — you can just buy them on the night instead. Doors should open around 8pm. If you're travelling from afar to attend and want to make sure you get in, simply turn up earlier!! There should be no problem.

The Green Room, Portman Hotel
Boscombe, nr BOURNEMOUTH, Dorset, UK

Says Stu Nicholson:

[The Green Room] is a compact but very friendly venue and for the first time in a long time, ** it's free admittance!! **

The idea is that we really want to get out and play more (a gig is worth a half a dozen rehearsals!!) plus, we have new material we'd like to try out.

Obviously we'd love to see you there!!

Venue contact details (including map) are available here.
