Blimey! They are coming back to Worthing but to a much better venue than in the past. Just after my birthday too.  :)

No Cardiff this time, so a trip to Pontardawe on 2nd March looks on the cards.  Nice venue, but a bit on the small side in comparison to St David's Hall, so I'd better book my tickets early.

Southport and New Brighton this time, so it'll be 2 shows for me hopefully!

Depending on the layout chosen, the Arts Centre can be quite capacious. See you there!

Yes, you're right. The last time I was there, for Show of Hands this year, they had it set out like a conventional theatre, rather than the 'cabaret' style they often have, with tables etc.

The last time I saw Fairport at Pontardawe, it was standing only downstairs.  {:-)

Just booked my tickets for Pontardawe.  Don't think I've ever booked so far in advance before!

Birmingham on sale tomorrow (today for members)

Anyone know who the support act are?

2015 tour support is by Kev Dempsey & Rosie Carson :-)
(or so it says on Kev's datesheet - wonder if he's a year out?!)

Got my (front row) tickets for Southport and New Brighton. Pleased to see that the support is Edwina Hayes - I saw her a few years ago supporting Cara Dillon and she was very good.
