Ive booked seats at the Barbican with 'restricted views' on many occasions and have had a perfectly good view of the stage, unless Im mistaken you will just be further to the side rather than the centre but still a good view and £15 is a bargain imo.

Ok, ok Martin!  Wink Your online sales pitch and persuasive informative post made me investigate further so have booked circle seats at only £20. Just hope its not miles from the stage and that Fairport aren't microscopic dots...

 See you there.  Wink

Third row tickets secured!!! I cannot believe this great (greatest barring Sandy Denny) line up will be live on stage again... This has made an old (very) man extremely happy!! Sod the recession... I look forward to Mr Nicol's Charlie Christian pick-up, custom ebony fingerboard and gold-plated Grover tuning pegs. Let the years roll back.

Have just seen that the Barbican sent me an email about exclusive members booking opening today. Sent at 15:14, tickets bought at 09:00. Bit late, chaps!

Managed to get row D tickets (which I'm rather excited about!).  But I never heard anything about it from the Barbican either.  Hmmm....  Thanks to the guys on here for the heads up!  Really looking forward to it!

As there seems to be some interest in London Gigs: can I point this week of events at Kings Place out to you? It's not far from Kings Cross and not a venue I've had the pleasure of visiting yet, either through the front door or the stage one, but have heard great reports of. (Prepositions notwithsatnding.)

Notable for a bit of a Swarbfest on Friday 17th, Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham the day before, and and a great day of workshops (Morris all the way to Klezmer..) with a rare opportunity to hear Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill, whose incredible musicianship really can stop the clock. (This is on the Saturday 18th). If you haven't heard this pair, I think you really should. And Frankie Gavin is there as well!

I hereby declare I have no business interests herein!

Already have tickets for both the Blazing Fiddles gig on the Wednesday & the Swarbfest on the FRiday, who now "shares the evening with Chris Leslie, current member of Fairport Convention, fiddler Gina Le Faux, and  Kevin Dempsey from Swarb's latest band Swarb’s Lazarus"

Well, despite all the earlier confusion, tickets arrived safely in this morning's post.
Do feel ever so slightly sorry for Barbican Members though.....
