Nice ... gotta try for this. Not been to the ballroom either!
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional
Re: Pet Shop Boys - Electric Ballroom
...but they don't really have any 'roots' in that underground live scene..performance at the Fridge in 1984, any others?

The brilliant thing is that they are supporting this scene, they are not laying claim to bring a big part of it!
What's for supper?

This appears to be what frees the organisers from having to admit this is a lottery (and therefore be regulated as gambling).Suburban_Boy wrote: ↑Mon 07 Sep 2020, 10:17 am For a minimum donation of £5 donors will be entered into a prize draw to win entry to the PSB event for themselves and a guest.

I can't find it immediately to hand, but ITV recently admitted that their TV "text in" competitions with the option to enter by post, all went in the bin...

Re: Pet Shop Boys - Electric Ballroom
On a side note, is anyone familiar with cameo.com? its a site where artists of all kind will make personalized videos for you for a fee.
yes, I know everyone here is probably above that, but while the site seems to be overloaded with alot of C-level celebrities there are some good ones here and there, I see Rufus wainwright just joined.
alot of artists are using the site to augment income now in these days. think of actors/musicians/comedians and other artists who now pretty much are done as far as live events where they would make the majority of their money. ANYWAYS....I think it would be great if Neil and Chris joined and you could ask them anything with the knowledge you would get a straight answer directly from them.

Re: Pet Shop Boys - Electric Ballroom
I'd be surprised if Chris did that...maybe Neil, but even still, I think they like a bit more control (rightly so) over those types of things.glennjridge wrote: ↑Wed 09 Sep 2020, 3:55 am On a side note, is anyone familiar with cameo.com? its a site where artists of all kind will make personalized videos for you for a fee.

The Electric Ballroom thing is an interesting idea, and I hope it pays off. I'm one of the nervous ones who thinks we're looking further away than next year before anything like normal resumes. Although it's a year away, I'm nervous for the Unity tour rescheduled dates, but I'm still hopeful.
Although I am sorry for the way the live Arts have suffered, it's not difficult to understand that those would be one of the first to go when you have to get back to basics and essentials. It actually might spawn some interesting new output from lots of artists as they navigate their way through this. I can't wait to see what Neil and Chris' take will be on current events when they release new music.

Meh as well ... didn't win
Just got a message saying that 'They did it, thanks to you' ... and 'we're delighted to tell you it was successful'
