We were considering going to see Thomas Dolby at the Sub Rooms, Stroud, on Friday.

Frankly, £38.50 a head seems expensive for someone very popular 40 years ago.

I think we may take out our daughter and granddaughter for a slap-up meal instead.


TBF £40 won’t get you much of a slap up meal these days either.
£80 might.

We saw him last year, and he was great.  Plays very big venues in the US.  In the current market place, personally I think that's a below averagely priced ticket.
