Well, I know it's a bit previous, and I won't be able to contribute to it until after next Monday, but we need to prepare the ground for whoever is lucky enough to be at the opening night!  I noticed from the gig list on the newsletter that the tour is 30 nights on the trot - that's pretty impressive (if not to say foolhardy...), so I wish them good weather (oh dear already), good health and plenty of stamina! |

no , no, simon, 'fine' is succinct, and no news is always good news, or something, and that has come straight from the horses mouth............. (ps - i'm properly miffed about fairport at wellingborough clashing with the other thing at the dearngate for which we bought tickets *months* ago, i haven't been to see fairport locally since kettering about 5 years ago!) hope it's a good gig there.  |

Fine, thanks Ulla. (Possibly the briefest, most unhelpful review eveer posted...) Onwards! More than just fine - it was brilliant (including the inevitable first-night glitches). Although the set list will obviously appear here as the Tour progresses, we wouldn't want to spoil the surprises - and there were quite a few - for others. Suffice to say that the back catalogue was well trawled and Chris almost got a standing ovation mid-set for one particular rendition! If you haven't booked - get on the phone now! Steve&Julia |

Can we open a thread (similar to the Aggies) of spoliers, just so those who don't wish to know the set list etc, don't see it.

It was obviously a court appearance that day. I will dress suitably for the occasion tonight.

As I was only wearing a load shirt and tie in a public place, a caution seemed sufficient.

(ps - i'm properly miffed about fairport at wellingborough clashing with the other thing at the dearngate for which we bought tickets *months* ago, i haven't been to see fairport locally since kettering about 5 years ago!) hope it's a good gig there. Me too, seeing as I have to drive past Wellingborough to get there. My flippin' dad - wanting gigs where Maddy Prior is singing for birthday presents  Looking forward to the Stables gig next week |

Edit: Please do not change the title of threads half way through [/quote] I didn't - must have hit an inadvertent keystroke somewhere, as the "new title" was the final exclamation mark which should have been in the post quoting Ollie. This also explains the duplication of the post. Whatever it was I did, I'll try not to do it again DC

For anyone vacillating about going to see the boys on this tour - buy your tickets now, the set is absolutely fabulous!
