Heartland

the final date of his solo tour apparently. at Carnegie Theatre in workington, later this week.


the question is...do i actually pay a whole £15 and go watch.....?

Yes

I went to see him do his solo thing in 2003

I only went because it was local

I don't like the m*****n, I don't really know their stuff and I thought the songs were rather dire and a bit silly.

However, the man himself was rather entertaining and it was rather a good night out

(but not a top one)

I'll be in Workington (and Leeds tomorrow).

Its going to be a great gig. Seen him already this tour and he puts on a fine show.

Was that the gig for Shelter at Leeds T&C in 1993 when sang 2 songs with the Utah Saints? They weren't at their best that night.

it was indeed. was it really 1993 thought it was before then (i could be wrong though). i think the sound as a whole that day was a bit off. tower of strength was something akin to dragging ones nails down a blackboard.

And how was this different to normal ?
Have never been a particular fan of said gentleman, but now he's stopped the histrionic warbling, his solo shows look decent enough entertainment. I misread the title of the thread initially and thought it was "plays for Workington". I know the Reds have had it hard for the past thirty-five years or so, but that would be a step too far.

glad i went. excellent evenings entertainment. on stage for 3 and three quarter hours!
