Oh I'd love to go. Glasgow is such a lovely place.
But hell, this year there seems no way for me to travel to the UK at all.
However, they're coming to Cologne, which is great ... :D ...

I'll be there, even though it's a venue with notoriously bad sound...

Venue is only a few miles from my house :eek:
Fingers crossed I'll get ticket tomorrow
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy
With massive thanks to Ruffers for his company and help.

Which is unexpected :D

That does surprise me - in a pleasant way.
If the demand's there and it's free, they should move it to the Barrowlands.

My friend tried to buy tickets this morning but nope.... sold out

I haven't been to the Barrowlands for a very very long time :eek: No idea who I last saw there :lol:

It's done an admirable job of avoiding gentrification. :wink:
Have seen Peter Hook, the Bunnymen, the Mary Chain and Amyl and the Sniffers there post COVID.
Remains my favourite venue in the country.

Doesn't look good for moving to a larger venue - Barrowlands is already booked that night, which only leaves the Academy.
While I could see them moving from a 1250 capacity venue to a 1900 one, I'm less convinced they'd go from 1250 to 2500.
If you haven't got a ticket Twickets will be your friend. :|

i'd have expected the entire mcheartland clan to attend.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

I'm sure there'll be a reasonable contingent of the MacHeartlanders. Just a pity there's little in the way of options near the venue for pre/post gig drinks. BrewDog is a bit small, but there's always the option of lowering the tone at the Finnieston.

And I have tickets!
This will actually be my first Sisters gig, though I've been a fan since the early 90s 8)
I tried to tell her
About Marx and Eldritch, God and angels
I don't really know what for.

The walk to the venue for the Gig and then back is good for creating a thirst :wink:

Plenty of Pubs nearby in Finnieston but the majority are very HIPSTER :| As it's midweek it's also a "School Night" so a late one could be a problem for those that need to be up early the next morning.... :urff:

In a wonderful development (unless you've booked flights and hotels), "Please note this concert will now be Thursday 23rd November 2023 at the Barrowland"

Awesome, I'm in. I'd left this one too late and missed a ticket previously, but all's well etc.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
