April tour

[pomfob]

It occurred to me yesterday - what's this tour in aid of? Is it another push for MoJ, the fabled Decline anniversary tour, or just for the hell of it? Or (outside chance, obviously) NEW LP????

No Brum, not even a Notts fallback option. will probably try and make it to either the Bristol or London shows but thats fraught with dificulties.

Just noticed that I appear to have bought "seats" for the gig at Holmfirth Picturedrome. Seems to be all Seetickets is selling. Anyone know whether it's an all-seater venue or will I be stuck in some balcony somewhere?

[Heartland]

I'm in the same boat.

It's definitely not an all-seated venue though, and I'm also optimistic, as there are no rows/numbers on the tickets.

heart you are going to sheffield gig, be inside the brown bear pre gig.

... be inside the brown bear....

I thought Cath's Nick was usually inside the brown bear these days (with either Craig or manager Dave in the white one).

I thought ******* was usually inside the brown bear these days (with either **** or ***** in the white one).

Wheesht! Hush up! The punters are supposed to believe the bears are real! Which they are children, they're real bears.

I've been to lots of gigs there and there have never been seats.

This is true. Whilst Nick, Dave, Craig and others don suits to impersonate the bears for the purposes of assisting with merch and doing photos with fans, and indeed on one occasion in Poland going to the shop over the road to stock up on pre-mix cocktail cans (truly one of the best things that happened in 2013), the stage bears are of course completely real. :)


On another note, presume there has been no advance on the possible Saturday night out in Sunderland? Still hoping that happens...........

Apparently I'm heading back home for my mum's 60th the weekend before her actual birthday, which s the weekend of the Folkestone gig. Gutted, but also not really gutted. Anyway what it means is that there is one ticket for Folkestone up for grabs. Face value so £14.

There's a Travelodge adjacent to Euston Station, about 6-7 mins walk from the venue, if that's the kind of place you're looking for.

Travelodge expert writes: Very small and usually overpriced by Travelodge standards if not sold out. The Travelodge "mothership" (AKA Kings Cross Royal Scot) is a bit further to walk but often cheaper - but I pretty much always use the County Hotel for all London stopovers, a basic no-frills old-style hotel 5 mins from Euston (so about 20 mins walk to Koko) - http://www.imperialhotels.co.uk/ - they also have a range of other hotels at different standard/price levels, all in the Bloomsbury area. (We stayed in the Tavistock for that NYE thing cos we fancied something a bit posher).

Can we please have an acoustic warm-up set like the band did for the first part of the MOJ tour? That was excellent.
Mmmm... Salty Water.

Edinburgh tickets turned up in Saturday's post, which is nice as I was getting a bit twitchy that they had got lost in the Christmas post...

pomfob, I think this is just the second tour of the MoJ cycle. It's been pretty normal practice for BSP to tour right after an album's release then do another one 12 months or so later (perhaps to build up a warchest for recording the next album?).

It's been noticeable in Scotland that they usually play Glasgow in one tour then Edinburgh the next, which is most equitable.

Unless you're a teuchter.
