25th Anniversary Tour "Six" by Mansun

After what Paul Draper recently done and is due in court soon, with a restraining order, I just cannot enjoy Mansun anymore, nor his solo stuff.

The lyrics on No Life Skills really have changed their meaning for me now.

 
Let's make a list of reasons why this [swear word] should be shunned. If anyone has already bought tickets to see him, then I suggest the following and please do...... throw things at him until he leaves the stage..... for good before he gets dragged kicking and screaming out of that courtroom.

- A band (Estrons) pulled out of their support slot after he sent inappropriate messages to their singer

- According to a Facebook post, he got a restraining order in 2014, but this went unreported

- He says a Guardian journalist is investigating him raping and beating up a woman in his studio (which he denies and says is a witch hunt)

- He published the name and address of someone he says has accused him of rape

- He'd been warned by the police several times about harassment

- Catherine Anne Davies, aka The Anchoress, his previous partner has obtained a 6 month order against him after stalking her. He is not allowed to contact her, her partner or family and is not allowed to subscribe to anything in her name. The hearing will be in May allowing him to tour prior to this.

- He spent a whole year sending threats to someone on Facebook, threatened to come round where they live in Bristol, scared that person sheetless, and went as far as messaging that person's friends telling lies to them saying he (the Facebook user he harassed) slept with his now ex.

For quite a while I had been wondering whether it was him that Sophie Ellis Bextor wrote about in her autobiography, but that guy she had to do with seems not as psycho as Draper obviously is...

She played down the docks at Sound City, he totally ruined her, she could of had a good career in music if she hadn't of met him.

For all the ones you list, just think how many go un reported, there will be loads

Good God, seems like it goes very much deeper than we have imagined previously. Still, there is a 166 page dossier against him and I bet that would make uncomfortable reading.

I sold all my Mansun and Paul Draper stuff right away when I heard the news.

Yep, there will be many more we will never know of.
 
The storming off stage incident at Nottingham Rescue Rooms, in which he blamed Downed in Sound for, saying a juno on the night was trying to ruin the gig for him, who is Catherine's partner...... that really was one of those incidents I should have released how much of a twunt he is.

Great website, although come to think of it, he was covering the gig working for Gigwise, but still a freelancer for both.

Nice to see the website is at least online still as archived bits rather than taken offline with only the wayback machine to rely on.

The message boards were wild in the early 00, that and dancing jesus
 
One of my favourite albums. Everton fan too. Anyone going to one of the gigs?

Interestingly, I never got alerted that you tagged me ( @GrandOldTeam ) and I know it was working as @verreauxi has tagged me recently in the watches thread but I clicked on the thread as I'm one of the few I've seen post a Mansun song in the music thread as I've always had a soft spot for 'When The Wind Blows'; but those are all UK dates and I'm approx 5k miles away.
