Suede last night in Glasgow was tremendous.
I know there are a few Steve Earle fans on here.
He's just announced the Queens Hall on June 13th. I've just got my tickets, but there don't seem to be many left.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.Quote:

No such trouble when going direct to the Queens Hall website this morning for general sale.
I had that same thing this morning with the Steve Earle CWG tipped us off on! I tried the password thing second time and suddenly got the emails pouring in and working okay.Quote:

Was wondering about that.Quote:

I hope not.... I always prefer to stand at gigs. :greengrin
Yeah looks like all-seated to me, that’s what I was assuming anyway. I’ll be quite happy to sit for this one to be fair 😂Quote:

Always best to buy direct from the venue if you can. Why give TM your money.Quote:

The Usher Hall usually sell tickets direct as well. It’s nice to give a wee bit more money to the venue, and I think because TM are so dominant, folk often don’t think of going to other sources so it can be easier to get tickets from the venue.Quote:

Going to see Tide Lines, at the Castle and Falcon , Kings Heath , Birmingham,
next Saturday, 25th March. A pub with an intimate 180 odd capacity, standing
concert room.
Also saw the great German oompah band playing rock music !, Heimatadamisch,
there a few weeks ago.

The Proclaimers on Leith Links on Saturday 17th June.
I've got tickets for Madonna in October at the O2 in London on her opening night in the UK, paid £450 inc a £25 booking fee for 2 tickets and thats face value. Bucket list stuff for me so I don't mind the costs involved.
I'm going to see Stuart Adamson's , daughter Kirsten on Saturday night , she's supporting Fay Fife (aka The Countess of Fife )Quote:

Got the email this morning - bizarrely though, I met Ben Gibbard in Edinburgh earlier (which made up for my disappointment) - was in for an event at the EICC and went for a walk at lunchtime - the band were staying at the Sheraton this evening I think and he was out in Festival Square with a couple of other guys.Quote:

Glasgow is cancelled as well now.Quote:

The problem with refunds etc of course are that no booking fees etc will be refunded, because ticket sites are robbing *******s.
Went to see the Go! Team last weekend. An absolute joy.
Salt House tomorrow. Can't wait.
Missed it through Covid, gutted. Love the new album as well.Quote:
