I'll be the short girl with a nose ring and purple hair (and very likely some form of military jacket), dragging a reluctant-looking, inappropriately-dressed girl behind me. I'm happy to be company for anyone on their own so keep an eye out

I've only been to a few gigs on my own, only been to see Manics on my own once. That said, the Manics on my own was Glastonbury 2003 which I went to alone, bought a ticket of a mate who'd broke up with her ex who she was gonna go with but ended up not going. Had a great time anyway.

I do understand why people would be put off going to gigs alone, I understand how people will think it might look etc but eh fuck it, nobody's gonna be staring at you the whole time pointing and saying oh look at the one on their own. Never happened to me when I spent five days alone at Glastonbury anyway. Good company at a gig is great but going alone is definitely better than not going.

I'm going alone too - actually doing a whole weekend of it as it was REALLY expensive to fly back to Ireland the Saturday so I figured I may as well be alone a whole weekend.

Anyway - long and short - I'm up for any meet ups that are happening.

I might end up staying in Cardiff as transport back home is not very frequent late at night. I also might have a car by then. So if both occur then I also might be up for a trip to Blackwood if that takes anyones fancy. It doesn't look to painful to get there on public transport tho - train to Newport and bus to Blackwood. The Preachers bar is pretty cool place to have a meet up I reckon. Maybe something to bear in mind if around for a whole weekend.

eta - there is also meant to be a tribute band on before the gig in a bar not far away afaik, so could be a good place to meet beforehand.

Preachers is a lovely place, very friendly staff and good cocktails! I don't know whether it makes any difference to you, but it tends to run an over-25s-only policy, just so you know

As someone who is going it alone my philosophy is everything is open invitation and the more the merrier

Even if I was going alone there are always people I recognise but don't know and seem to recognise me. I'm crap with the etiquette lark though, very English of me, don't know whether it's appropriate to go up to someone and say oh hiya, I saw you in Newport in 2013 or whatever. Similarly on here, I've been 99% sure I'd recognised people from the show yourself threads at gigs loads of times but the 1% doubt often takes over and when it doesn't I'll worry more about coming across as a stalker than observant.. Plus I've been a right embarrassing twat on here over the years anyway so that puts me off introducing too..

Yeah, I'm not even sure why really. Makes no difference to me either, just!
