Venue Town Date Contact What you need to Know
The Bell & Barrel St Helens 16/01/09 Shaz First new gig under Shazza's new regime.
The Garricks Head Urmston 24/01/09 Paul Back to Urmston after a couple of years gap at the request of DHL's Trafford Park depot. So they'll probably be late (if they don't get lost in transit).
The Bakers Vaults Marketplace Stockport 14/02/09 Mister Sam Hello young lovers, wherever you are...
The Station Hotel Altrincham 27/03/09 Janet The lovely Janet tempts me with Adnams, Ruddles and Hook Norton Ales and some money, but it's Arnie she needs to watch...
The White Lion Underbank Stockport 28/03/09 Eleanor Haven't played here since The Best Band days! It's downstairs though, so you won't have to drag your fat behind up that big staircase. A new gig in Stockport! Support it! New licensees provide a variety of proper beer on handpumps - recently spotted Fullers London Pride, Black Sheep and Jekylls. What more do you want FFS?
The Bell & Barrel St Helens 11/04/09 Shaz We return to the glamour that can only be found in St Helens. (If you're from Stockport, St Helens is glamourous).
The Bakers Vaults Marketplace Stockport 18/04/09 Mister Sam April. I ask you. Rubbish month, April. Nothing happens in Stockport. Well, until the 18th!
The White Lion Underbank Stockport 16/05/09 Eleanor ... and then the very next month!
The Talbot Church Street Burnley 23/05/08 Michelle A far superior venue to the Rose & Thistle down the road as it has us on. Come and watch the loony women dance!!
Stockport County FC Edgeley Park Stockport 30/05/09 Johnny Brett Ok, it's just a rumour right now, but the illustrious Mr Brett is sorting the music for the Stockport Beer Festival. Mmmm. Beer and your favourite band. Tempted? You should be! Shifts have been changed, so you'd better come good, JB!!
The Garricks Head Urmston 06/06/09 Paul Flushed with success after our January visit we return to Urmston, which I always thought was a bit cat, but it's actually alright now I've been, 
The Crown Stockport 12/06/09 Steve Fresh (?) from our beer fest triumph at the end of May we now consolidate by playing even more phat beery tunes to fat beery blokes. Probably the same tunes. Probably the same blokes. Almost certainly in the rain.
Private do for John's birthday

*CANCELLED* 

Not telling you (but quite near home) 14/06/09

*CANCELLED*  

John Our troupe perform hits from assorted CBBC productions behind closed doors for a select audience of children rammed with E numbers. Then when the cake, jelly and children are all gone we do the Motorhead stuff for their grandad. More fun the other way round, eh? Wonder if Arnie will do the 'trouser elephant' puppet show for the kiddies? Cancelled due to Mother-in-law interference (John's, not ours). Apparently he wants a disco.
The Bakers Vaults Marketplace Stockport 20/06/09 Mister Sam Bask in the balmy environs of The Lion Yard to the strains of The CTs wafting across the marketplace. You could come inside and watch but a) it'll be too hot and b) you can't smoke inside. Think I'll come outside with you.
The Bell & Barrel St Helens 11/07/09 Shaz Now firmly ensconced as one of St Helens' top turns we treat an expectant throng to some tunes and that.
The Talbot

*CANCELLED* 

Church Street Burnley 07/08/08

*CANCELLED* 

Michelle Burnley. But not a Sunday afternoon? I can't find Burnley in the dark... Ah, s'ok. A text from Michelle tells up The Talbot's been sold and by the time this gig comes up will have been converted to student flats. So don't bother going. We're not.
The Station Hotel

*CANCELLED* 

Altrincham 14/08/09

*CANCELLED* 

Janet Today, my cat, Zoltan, is 2 years old. Hey kids, let's have the party right here. Actually, he informs me I'm a clot and his birthday was in May, so only the regular amount of jollity at this fine gig. Regrettably cancelled due to drummer availability. Or lack of. Many apologies to Janet who is quite lovely. The CasualTies urge you to attend this splendid boozer.
The Crown Stockport 15/08/09 Steve What happens is this: we turn up and play some tunes while you stand around with other folk just like you drinking beer. Or else you could sit down on a chair next to many other identical chairs but not in a row (that's 'row' rhymes with 'oh', not 'row' rhymes with 'ow!'. Or is it?). Why not stand around laughing while all this takes place. In the rain.
The Bakers Vaults Marketplace Stockport 28/08/09 Mister Sam A Friday one! We must have been a bit crap last time we played. Keep a few pence back from those 'back to skewl' purchases/the kids' dinner money and blow it on beer. Because you're worth it.
The Garricks Head Urmston 24/10/09 Paul Our third gig here this year so you'd better get there early if you want a seat. Arnie will be bringing a shitty stick to beat back the nurses from Trafford General across the road. Nurses seem to have a thing for him?
The Bell & Barrel St Helens 31/10/09 Shaz If you go out back for a fag there's a very picturesque church. Really quite Venetian (or are they out of Star Trek?).
The Bakers Vaults Marketplace Stockport 07/11/09 Mister Sam Post-bonfire apocalypse night. Bring something to bang.
The Bakers Vaults Marketplace Stockport 21/11/09 Mister Sam Via the medium of Mister Sam's splendid beer emporium The CasualTies bow out. So ner.

 

The say:-

always check with the venue before getting a taxi anywhere (or putting anything very heavy in a van)

don't go out in your dirty underwear

don't forget your key

take it easy

 

Send your gig reviews/miserable bleatings in and we'll publish the amusing ones
