The Parks Dept live at Dirty South, London, Sat 10 May 2008
The Parks Dept have just confirmed a gig supporting Belle and Sebastian DJ's at Dirty South in Lewisham, South London on Saturday 10 May 2008. Showtime is 10.15pm (tbc) and it's in a club which is open until 3 in the morning.

Advance tickets will be available from ticketweb.com (we'll let you know when) and please do book them there, quoting reference "The Parks Dept" when doing so. Buying tickets in this way will benefit the band.

Minibus/coach transport from Northampton is being planned so that local Parks Dept fans have no problem getting to and from London. The aim is to keep the all-in cost down to about 15 quid.

This will be a bumper London week because the band also play The Fiddler's Elbow in Camden on Thursday 8 May 2008 as previously announced.
