Full band - does that mean more than just the trio, do you think? But no shows in the SW anyway  |

To most of us in England, Bristol is the SW, but to Devonians & Cornwall folk it's the Midlands! Is there any significance to the nautical title and picture?

This cover is really annoying me. It's like an (is it?) AI image of what RT would look like if he was fisherman. And yet somehow ends up looking precisely nothing like him. Has an 'artist' created this or is it literally AI?

But no shows in the SW anyway Don't know this for a fact, but "full band" probably means electric trio (Taras Prodaniuk and Michael Jerome) with guitar cameos from his tech Bobby Eichorn and his grandson Zak Hobbs. And a backing vocal cameo from Zara Phillips (wife #3). This is the same lineup he toured with previously so changes are possible. There's still a massive Pete Zorn-sized hole in the band.  |

I'll know hell has frozen over if RT ever tours with a keyboardist. I so miss the colors that PZ added with mandolin, sax, acoustic guitar, etc., not to mention lovely high harmony vocals. I share the speculation set forth above that we're talking bass/drums and Zara. |

None suitable for us, this time, sadly! Missing our fix.

To most of us in England, Bristol is the SW, but to Devonians & Cornwall folk it's the Midlands! We're in West Devon, and Bristol is a 2 hour drive from us (and that is almost all on dual carriageway roads or motorways), assuming that the M5 is clear. |

Just looked at the pricing for the Cardiff concert. £53 - £65 per ticket. I'll need to think about this (tickets not on sale until Friday)

Manchester is £67 including booking fee. If you go through RT's website link, you can click on presale and buy straight away (for Manchester at least). |

Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

I'm afraid that Barclays would not approve our attendance. |

Likewise! Especially adding on fuel for a 400++mile round trip, min. two nights of accommodation and having to use three days of annual leave, which I can ill afford due to other stuff. Had I known sooner, or were it on a Saturday, I may have not signed up for some other things I/we’re doing...a bit gutted, but not desperately. Will look forward to your reviews, folks. |

I love RT live - but in recent years I have restricted myself to seeing him at Festival's as the ticket prices seem to have gone insane.
