// BUY YOUR DLUGOKECKI XMAS XTRAVAGANZA 7 TICKETS IN ADVANCE!

Good morning everyone! I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd get up and have a brew. I'm turning into Andy Wild! There are very very few tickets left for Xtravaganza Seven - which takes place next Friday! Please please buy yours in advance by easily calling - 02380632601. Send me an email if you can't buy over the phone, and I'll reserve you a ticket.

This will be our 7th Dlugokecki Xtravaganza. It all started in Guildford in 2002 in a bar called Pews and has got bigger and madder as the years have passed. It is our annual end of the year party and the only opportunity we get to play Christmas classics. There are lots of surprises this year in our set, including a few special guests! We're playing a 1.5 hour set which will prob begin at 9.30pm, but the show starts with a bang.....

The gig kicks off at 7pm. 'Summers', one of my favourite bands ever, open the show. Don't miss them, they're awesome! We are supported also by the outstanding 'The Reservoirs', who have played 3 Xtravaganzas now! Also playing is our friends 'The Rebs' - who won the 'Road to V' competition and are headlining the Southampton Guildhall next year! Our best friends and possibly my favourite band in the world, 'The Warm' are main support (they've just released an amazing new EP) and 'Rayguns look Real Enough' are hosting the after show party which will go on until the wee hours!! Expect some awesome unique cover songs from this hilarious and talented pair. If that wasn't enough, 'The Ukulele Orchestra of Southampton' are also providing unique songs in between the acts!! So get your tickets now before they're gone!! We're very excited!
