So what are the chances of a London gig...


/me = lazy sod not wanting to venture out of capital...

/me also = poor sod with 30% pay cut recently... ££££ VERY tight...

I would say close to %100
I would put good money on two nights in London to close this one off (or perhaps one really big one...?)

Oh great.

In 35 mins I'll be leaving for Spain.
I won't have Internet for 6 days.
I can pretty much guarantee that you will have your London dates within the next 6 days.

Me?
I'm still holding out for Glasgow - the UK schedule has quite a few gaps
compared to the other countries.
Failing that, it's a toss up between Amsterdam or Leeds.

Are you serious? The Barrowlands is probably one of the best live
venues in the country.
Sadly, I doubt they'd even come close to filling it now.
But yeah, the ABC would be good, as long as it isn't ABC 2. :wink:

Bugger. Good job I'm going to NYC (if they turn up). As all the U.K. dates mentioned so far will occur when I'm in Beirut :|

More dates please.

only one date in leeds so far, and not at the end of the tour. the first reassuring clue that perhaps this isn't one big farewell...

I'd have to agree with James.The ABC is the first venue that has come close to the atmosphere of The Apollo.

Looks like a bus into Leeds is all I can afford. The Dam needs some serious attention, but I just can't see it. In an ideal world, Berlin would be on the agenda too. Ah well. And yeah, I'm sure there'll be many more gigs yet to be announced.

The Barra's used to be one (probably thee) of the best live venues in Britain but the KUNTZ that are "Rock Steady Security" have well and truly fcuked it :evil: :evil: :evil:

I'll agree with Blast & Pat about the ABC, I've only been there once, but what a fuckin' venue :notworthy: :notworthy:

Ooh, I'm there!

Was kind of prohibited by circumstances from attending the central European gigs last year as I'd planned to :evil: ... so I'm buggered if I'm letting anything get in the way this time!

I'll definitely go to one... whichever is the busiest, HL-wise (Leeds?)... and if anyone's got room in their car and on their floor I might dot around a few others as well...?

Any offers, PM me - you won't even know I'm there! :lol:

As much as I'd love Manchester to be, Leeds will probably be busiest HL-wise, followed by little clumps of 3 or 4 random Heartlanders plus Johnny at just about every other gig :lol:

You know I don't mean every gig. It's just that your dedicated self has been responsible for a large proportion of the "Who's going to this one?" topics ;)

That or I'm informing you of your plans for the next few months. You just don't know that you are yet :von:
