Its the South.....or was the South. Its probably pronunced properly now that all the Yankees have moved in. In the old days, you called them "Vy-anner Sauceygages" or risked severe scutiny!  |

You should hear how locals pronounce Cairo, in Illinois.

Is it as funny as hearing British people pronounce Tuolumne? (Try it before hitting the pronouncement hint ... and be honest!) |

I missed another electric trio , because I thought the ticket price was too high , with a leader with a distinctive electric guitar playing style & a vocal style not for the mainstream , bit like RT really...and I thought Wilko would outlive me !
So I'll pay a lot more than I did last time (£33 on 23/10/18) and drive to the next city to see Richard , but I agree with many of the comments in this thread , especially cutting down on travel and finding new fave acts by attending smaller gigs in smaller venues

That would be £41.19 today, which kind of illustrates how much inflation there's been recently..[Bank of England inflation calculator] |

I think the emphasis has turned from “This is how much we’re going to charge for tickets, where can we afford to stay overnight?” to “This is where I want to stay overnight, how much are we going to have to charge for tickets?”

Well, I decided to get a ticket to see Richard Thompson in Cardiff. It's amazing how quickly £53 becomes £60 when 'booking fees' and 'handling costs' are added - this for a ticket sent straight to the mobile phone. Anyway, it's done. I also noticed that The Corrs are playing in Cardiff this summer. After buying the RT ticket, I was curious to see how much Corrs tickets were. They are between £90 and £200. No thanks!

News filtering through on Faceache that the full band lineup for RT's UK tour will be : RT (!), grandson Zak Hobbs on 2nd guitar, bassist Taras Prodaniuk, and DM behind the traps.
Looking forward to it even more now !
