That's quite the line-up!  We'll be staying near Hay-on-Wye until that day, so I'm tempted to see if I can find a nearby hotel at a reasonable price...

Done it!  Bit scary - I don't think I've ever been to Birmingham before!  Not central anyway, other than going through New St on the train.

It's a 'reel' on his FB page, posted on the 8 Mar.  Don't think you can do a link to it but it looks like this

There's almost the "Rise Up" Albions line-up in there (other than "guest" vocalists and the disgraced Pickett)...

That's a wonderful lineup, I don't think we'll see such a stella group on the same stage again. Not sure any other musician could call in so many friends. It's probably too far for us to travel but seriously tempted.

I've just booked my travel and accommodation, so if anybody is going and fancies a wee dram, do let me know...

Due to circumstances (largely) outside my control, I am now unable to be here.

Therefore, I have two tickets available (Circle, Row E, 29 & 30.

If anyone wants a two for one bargain, I'd be more than happy to accept £40 for both. Original purchase price was £88 inc booking fee.
