For fans of good music everywhere,

Greetings Fellow Smiths Apostles,

It has been a long time coming, but we are finally dusting off the Gladioli to bring you a show in each Auckland and Wellington. Preparations are going well and we are very much looking foward to celebrating The Smiths with you all again.

The shows are:

Saturday April 30th - Galatos, Auckland - Tickets from Cosmic Corner - Doors 8pm

Saturday May 7th - Indigo, Wellington - Tickets from Cosmic Corner - Doors 8pm

These will be our last ever shows together as the Salford Lads' Club. The reason for this is that we are finding ourselves unable to distinguish between our nominated Smiths personas and our real personalities. Obviously this has serious implications for us all (except Adrian) and our unloved ones, so we must sadly fare thee well.

At this point we must make a grovelling apology to all you Mainland Apostles out there. We would have loved to leave the north again and travel south again, but last time Pete got confused and left his cymbal bag.

Be sure to check out the updated website, which now features a superb poster design by honorary Lad Dylan Mercer.

See you all soon,

Rob (on behalf of the Salford Lads' Club)
