New

Hi everyone,
just a wee update to let you know that we are very close to finalising a
date for the next Madisons Rock Night. We hope to announce it sometime
before the Motley Crue gig in Glasgow. Thanks for all your emails and
support since the last one and also for your patience! Keep an eye on these
pages over the next couple of weeks for any updates.

A
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to everyone who came along and to those
that couldn't make it to the last Madisons! Keep an eye on the web site for
the new date for Madisons in 2005!
All
the best...

A
big thinks to everyone who came along!!!!
We hope you all
enjoyed yourselves and that the night lived up to all your expectations meeting old faces, finding lost friends and
rocking to some classic tunes...oh yeah and getting very very very drunk!
Although the day of the Madison's Hangover
was a killer at our end and we're sure that a few of you out there felt it
too we still really want to do it all over again as it was a brilliant
laugh!
So what we now
need is a bit of feedback to let us know whether in the cold light of day
after all the hangovers have been and gone is if we should do it again! We
have several options so please go to the message board poll
Madisons Rock Night 3
and vote for one of the following...either '6 months', '1 year' or 'don't
bother'. It's your feedback that will decide when the next Madisons Rock
Night will be! The initial favourite at the moment after speaking to a few
of you is that we go for it again in six months time but we need your
backing so please place your vote or email us your preference!
Also please
remember to send
in your photo's of the night and we will put them on line in the photo
gallery section as long as there's space.

Tonight is the night - Official Pre-Madisons
Boozing at the Black Bull!
Max will be in the Black Bull from 6-8pm just
like the old days having a pre-Madisons
Warm Up. So if you fancy a drink before
heading to Madisons you are all welcome...
...or there is also the Cameo Bar which is two mins
walk
from Madisons on Commercial
Street, it's a nice wee bar that's handy for Madisons but be warned it's not
a rock pub.
There will be
tickets available on the door at £10 each subject to availability as
we are down to the last 50 tickets and we will
try to sell any
returns in the Black Bull so if you have any tickets that you cant use please bring
them with you.
A big thanks to all of you who
bought tickets and for supporting the Madisons Night!
We've had a blast putting it
together, and we're so excited about Saturday!! We're sure it'll as good if
not better than last year!
We've managed to
get some great drinks promotions throughout the whole night thanks to
Jagermeister and their scantily clad Jager-Girls who will be mingling on the
night!
The Commplex are
also ready for our boozing needs this year so there will be plenty of
Newcy-Broon amongst other boozy delights - so no chance of the bar running
dry this year!
As usual we are going to keep the
website
running and up to date kicking off with any photos
of the night! Plus
if it's a success on Saturday and everyone is up for it we might
do this again next year. Give us feedback on the night and via the feedback
page
afterwards, or get chatting about the night on the forums!
See you there for plenty of RAWK!

The Van Hielan and Full Metal Racket gig was
great last night. Both bands were excellent and we flyered the place
senseless! After that we went on a fast track Madies promo pub tour
flyering and selling tickets taking in The Oz bar (now a rock/bikers
pub), The Southern, The Pear Tree, The Holyrood Tavern and of course
the Bull! We then went up to the Firkin and the Jailhouse before
finally ending up in Opium. The end result was a whole bundle of
tickets sold and a few sore heads this morning! The response we got
last night was really great and it looks like Madies is set to be
another sell out! So remember and get your tickets early to avoid
disappointment.
28/08/04
We will also be at the
VAN HIELAN
gig supported by Full Metal Racket on Saturday 25th September
in The Liquid Room in Edinburgh selling tickets.
They are the UKs Number One Van Halen
Tribute band and Full Metal Racket are an excellent rock band with
the best name for a rock band that we've heard in ages! Check the
bands out at their web sites...

The photogallery
now has all the photos that we collected from last year but the thumb nails
are not displaying correctly in most of the folders. This seems to be caused
by a problem that
our host sight are having with Microsoft Frontpage but we are working on it!
However, in the meantime click on any of the links and you can see the full
size picture without any problems.
There are some great shots in here that are more than worth a look!
For those of you who missed last years event and want to get a feel for what
it was like check out the dance floor shots. There are plenty of nostalgic
head banging shots and loads of other nonsense! We hope you enjoy them and
are still working to resolve the thumbnail problem.
05/06/04
It's your first chance to buy tickets face to
face as we will be in the Dreadnought on

Max was in the Bull from 9-10pm but there
were no tickets to sell at that point as
all the returns so far were redistributed to the waiting list.
However, we did add
to the waiting list for the tickets that may be returned. As soon as we
have any free
those of you on the waiting list will be contacted and offered the
chance to buy the
returned tickets.

- Max never made it to the Spiders Web for the the Full Metal Racket Gig
due to a stinkin' hangover. Apologies to anyone who was waiting to buy their
tickets, but there are other opportunities over the next week!
14/11/03
Max was in the Bull flyering and selling tickets. We sold another load of
tickets in the Bull and we probably wont have many tickets left to sell on
the door!
Dont be left out - buy your tickets on line or face to face in the remaining
days!

Jetmarine, who number former members of Seeing Red (in the
gallery) and the Joyriders, are playing at the Village Inn, South
Fort Street
Leith tonight(1 Nov). £5 a pop - first 50 in get a free cd. Don't know the

a
ticket!
26/10/03
The
Dreadnought was as ever a top night out! We sold another
bundle of tickets and met a few old faces. We continued boozing long after
the Dreadnought had closed and Julie treated us to her pole dancing
technique
in her living room. She was actually very good - god only knows where she
picked up that particular talent - and if I get my way we shall have a pole
fitted
in the Commplex so that everyone can check out her pole-tastic moves!
25/10/03
We are off to
the Dreadnought this Saturday (tonight) to bring the
Madisons night out to the West and hopefully sell some more tickets! We
wont be wearing our T-Shirts but we should be easy enough to find!
See you there!

We were in the BLACK BULL
on Saturday and it was great to see
so many faces
from the past! We sold tons of MADISONS ROCK NIGHT tickets
and the
night is
now guaranteed to be a success! They are selling fast so be
sure to get
yours
soon! We flyered everything that moved and everything that
didn't, looking
like a bunch of eejits wearing our Madisons t-shirts. We finished
the night
off
in Opium in the Cowgate and we had a brilliant laugh - apart from
the
hangovers that is!!! Roll on the 22nd!
