Some of you may be despairing too soon! Don't they normally do some gigs in the autumn as well? We saw FAC (well, those who managed to turn up, anyway  Roll Eyes ) in Maidenhead last September. Still, as I don't know for certain that that will happen again, I might finally have to find out exactly where Nettlebed is, just to be on the safe side.


Just a few miles out of Henley....

Seems they're covering parts of the country that the electric tour didn't approach.

Before someone tells me, I smugly know Southampton is in Hants  WinkGrin

Since FAC only plays UK gigs- I understand thar two Scandinavian tours in two months is a little too much to hope for - can we poor souls who cannot make it, hope for a recording, please? ONBB is 13 years old now and I´ve read so much positive things said the last year´s acoustic tours.  Smiley

I'm delighted to see that the band are playing in Blackburn, just down the road from me. I can see the venue with a pair of binoculars from my house!
It's a good walk, and for once I'll be able to have a few Thwaites during the night and not have to drive.

Not sure what Ely FC can do... your best bet is Blakeney in North Norfolk, Ollie; on the 22nd.May. The venue is small, intimate, very "down to earth". You'll know what I mean when you get there. Best combined with an afternoon, if not a day, in this pretty and atmospheric seaside village. May is a good time to be in that part of the world.
