Ipswich Corn Exchange May 24th. I can't remember the last time they came this far east - it's usually Colchester, Cambridge and/or Norwich.

Isn't the Regent open anymore Shane? I would have thought they could have filled that.  Good news for Ipswich anyway!   [;-)

The Regent's still open for business, but over a thousand for FC acoustic? Ambitious.

Think people are probably picking them up from their local venues Pete, don't think there's a proper list yet, and probably won't be till the Wintour's up and running :)

Looks like an interesting venue, Martin - what's the old town coming to? They obviously have a go-getting booking policy regarding folk acts  :) .

Looks like I'll be away racing that weekend (though on checking, I find that it's Snetterton - not a million miles away)...

I've not been into the Apex venue DC but to describe it's location, it is situated at the back of what once was "Woolies" on what once was the cattle market, now a trendy shopping centre with swish apartments above.

You might well ask what is happening to our old home town.

30 minutes from Snetterton I would suggest

Seems to be, its just gone up under the Wintour listings not as Acoustic Convention.

I'm still hoping that Acoustic will be able to come to Aberystwyth in May, no mention anywhere though :(

I'm hoping that they might come to Bognor again after the success of last year.

THey might be in the current tour programme - anyone got that?

They won't be posted on the website until the end of this tour, so that anyone thinking of going, goes to an electric date....
