TICKETS for a homecoming gig by The Enemy sold out minutes after details were announced on Tuesday evening.

The band will play at S7ven nightclub in The Old Fire Station on Hales Street on Thursday, February 16. The club is just around the corner from The Hope And Anchor where they filmed their first ever video.

The video for the Gimmie The Sign - first single from their new album - will also be filmed on the night.

Tickets for just £5 were snapped up with minutes of frontman Tom Clarke announcing the gig on his blog, but he said the band would be back in their home city for another gig soon.

Moments before tickets went on sale he wrote: "They're are going to go very quickly we know, but if you miss out don't despair there will be another special announcement and another chance to see us in the heart of Coventry very soon."

In October The Observer reported how Clarke said he, Liam Watts and Andy Hopkins would play their biggest gig to date in Coventry in 2012 as part of a major tour of the UK and Ireland.
