[kj] OT: Ugh: Sex Pistols to begin recording new songs, possibly new LP.... :(

[Brian Whitehead]

The manager of the MEN Arena was open in the conversasion he had with the
Pistols manager when they played there in November.
She said expect Pistols appearances at lots of festivals around Europe along
with a tour because they intended to milk it for every penny and touring is
where the money is.

I've got excellent quality mp3s of the MEN Manchester gig, so drop me a line
if you want a copy.
