I was wondering if the UK 'orgers' were aware of the 'Big Purple Christmas Party' in the North West? The place is "The Quayside" in Runcorn in Cheshire, the entertainment is provided by ENDORPHINMACHINE, I've seen this band a few times now (firstly at the Prince's 50th boat party) and they NEVER fail to entertain. They are made up of some of the country's top session players & are ALL Prince mad:-D . The gig is on the 18th of December and it's being filmed, ..not sure what for??? maybe someone can tell me! It'd be great to see a roomfull of orgers there, if you do go I'll be the guy on the dancefloor taking pictures all night, seriously though guys a truly BRILLIANT band with one of the best vocalists i've EVER heard live, he's an actor who's been on TV including Coronation Street, Emmerdale and loads of others:-P , these guys do the songs others dare not do, brave but brilliant! if (like me) you love Prince circa 1991 then PLEASE don't miss out and hopefully I'll see you there.

ooh just noticed you from Manc too, wherabouts? M22 is south Manc isn't it? I'm from Wythenshaw and Dale, the singer with this band ENDORPHINMACHINE is also from Wythenshaw, a fiercely proud Mancunian he is too!! fill a coach with purple headed friends and dance the night away to classic Prince songs played amazingly well!! YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED!!

gutted I can't make this. I'k just on the borders of Wythenshaw as well!, surely I would have spotted him around John Lewis's / Sainsbury's at sme point!

This is one of the worst Prince Tribute bands your find, seen them a couple of times and they are awful.

i suppose the good news is that anyone who was considering paying to see the band for a third time DESPITE not actually liking them can stay at home sobbing silently into cupped hands!
