Ralph and Wizz last evening at Bush Hall. Great rapport between the 2 old friends, the solo pieces complimented the evening. It felt like an insight into two good friends playing together sharing their favourite memories, a relaxing evening, stunning guitar playing from both Ralph and Wizz. Hopefully there will be a dvd.  ;)


Title: Re: Tour Dates 2017
Post by: Chris on February 13, 2017, 04:58:34 PM
Wasn't it excellent? Just as though we were flies on the wall of them chatting & playing in Ralph's (or Wizz's) front rom :-)

Sorry, no set lists - mostly because they weren't Ralph's compositions, but mostly songs/instrumentals from their early playing days, coupled with the odd smattering of their own compositions.

Having got to two of these gigs, I am most happy, as there was only about 50% crossover between set-lists, so I guess I got a gig & a half of different numbers in total!

All 4 have been sell-outs or close-to - 3 static cameras in the room last night, so hoping for a DVD although there was a lot of movement of audience *during* (GGRRRR!) numbers, so you won't get the whole gig for sure without some really judicious editing, but hopefully at least an hour....and more gigs, please guys!

Anyone find better seats for the London gig than Row I or J in the stalls?

Seems as though the rest are with other agencies?

Post by: John Beresford on March 31, 2017, 11:43:27 AM
Same with the RNCM. Annoying, isn't it?  I'm waiting till they're available from the venue itself.

Just Booked Row D on the aisle at the Palladium online at http://rutlive.co.uk  (Really Usefull Theatre Co) they appear to use SEEtickets, Also booked Premier Inn near Euston Station £306- double for 3 nights with full english each day, easy for carrying bags from the station and on several bus routes direct to Oxford Street for the Palladium. this year is shaping up very nicely thank you. Now to see the boss about that overtime to pay for it all.

Thank you - going that way seemed to show proper availability & I now have front row aisle too.
