Title: Ashley's 80th Birthday concert
Post by: davidmjs on July 31, 2024, 12:01:38 PM
I wonder if Bob will make the journey?  ;) ;D

Ashley reaches the grand age of 80 in 2025. To mark the occasion his son Blair is curating a very special concert to celebrate his dad’s six decade career in music. Simon Nicol will join a host of musicians and performers who have worked with Ashley over the years. Join us for Ashley’s ‘Million Dollar Bash’ in Birmingham Town Hall on Friday 18 April with tickets on sale from 10am 2 August.

Thinking of everyone Ashley has worked with this is going to be an awesome gig but I imagine a logistical nightmare!

Ticket & hotel booked.  Can't be doing with driving home late. And not being able to sample some local beer(s).

Ashley and Blair are playing just up the road about a month before, so, tempting as the Brum concert is, I think I'll do that instead - 20 mins away and my own bed at the end rather than 3.5 hours and a hotel.

The whole tour is 'just up the road' for you, isn't it? ;)

Actually I thought it was just a tour of the SW.  Not quite...
