Just booked for Worthing next Tuesday, though I am not sure why I felt I needed to book. Less than a third of the tickets sold for a gig that is only a week away. Pitiful!

I know I have said it before but I really don't know why the lads keep coming back to Worthing. It is diminishing returns year on year. There must be an alternative venue in the south where they would be more appreciated and which would be more financially beneficial.

It's the size of the venue that pays for the daily tour cost. I guess Hove Centre might be worth a try - Steeleye did quite well in there.

Glad to see the chaps can still sell out places - as for me I will be giving the Wintour a miss this year - too many other things for me to see and too little money!!

With no High Wycombe nor Reading venues this year, I've been wondering what to do. I've decided on Farnham Maltings, bit of a drive on busy roads but I'm sure it'll be worth it. Not been to a gig here before but I'VE GOT A SEAT!! so I'm happy now anyway!     Anyone else going here too?

Cheers

Yippee! The tour starts tonight!

If anyone's going to Tewkesbury - Chris, Jules(?) - let's try to meet up.  In the bar upstairs or in the pub across the road from about 6.30pm; unless there's a better option nearby?

I think I know the pub you mean; I'll probably spot you in/around the foyer or upstairs at the theatre.

We would normally go to the Worthing gig, but this time round we thought we'd go for the "Theatre Royal" in Portsmouth the following week. Perhaps others are opting for this option in the hope that it will be a more atmospheric venue

It is certainly atmospheric. We shall be there.

Come on, we're getting desperate! Cheesy

Mind you, I can't really talk, since I kept you waiting over Anne de Bretagne.  Not that I'm making any comparisons between the two shows - I expect those who have attended the Wintour so far were so blown away, it has rendered them speechless! Wink

It's the third night of tour, and there are no spoilers! Something must be wrong! They didn't make you sign the offical secrets act as you entered the building, did they?  Shocked
