Already hovering over the button. Going to the London one. Did you see their bizarre video on facebook today? Can you believe the last one was ....

Four years ago??????

Shared a bill with them at the Electric Ballroom a few years ago, this tickled me at the time:

Not sure I'd have the dosh for Glasgow, rail and sail from Northern Ireland and a night stay.

When I saw them in Belfast a couple of years ago there was a massive feck up with AirBnB and I ended up forking out another £120 for a night stay in the nearest "approved by them" Raddison. Saw Vanian at breakfast though - too scared to approach him.

Saw the 40th anniversary tour, played the full 1st album as an encore. 
I'd like to see the original line up, but I don't think it will happen.

TheMarlin

I’m doing London and Brum.

There must be a lot of money on the table.  Don't they hate each other, Captain and Rat in particular?

Deadman

My mate got a few of us London too. Hope it comes off.

Long, drawn out and documented yeah. The money is obviously a major factor, but why not I say. None of them are rich and even Vanian is selling stuff on eBay now (Sensible and Rat have been doing that for years). I don’t blame them to be honest as this virus has choked their income.

TheMarlin

It’s £75 a ticket. Was going to bring 3 friends. 

I’ve seen them over 80 times.  For £75 each, I think I’ll live with the pleasant memories and buy myself a HXFX instead.  

Deadman

Ah, see, I've never witnessed the 4 of them all on the same stage and don't mind paying less than I pay for a week's shopping to do so. I understand how you feel mind.

First saw them in 1986 at the tender age of 16 (Anything tour). Couldn't make the 1988 reunion as I was faffing around joining the RAF. 

It might be a bit rubbish. Hope not. BUT I do love a night out in the smoke with me mates!

Awse

Deadman

Damned news!

Capt hasn’t had the vaccine so can’t play any upcoming US tour dates. US fans seem annoyed at best. But who can step in? 

Anyone want to guess if you don’t already know? I’m frankly amazed!

viz

I tried to cheat and find out but I can’t find any mention of it - who is it??

Deadman

None other than Troy Van Leeuwen @viz ;;

I get some of the yanks’ annoyance but that’s something I’d love to see! Hope you’re good by the way mate.

viz

Ah qotsa? Never heard him! V good ta, still holding out for 28 oct ……..!

Deadman

He’s a class act mate and is obviously doing it for the love.

I had to cancel, sadly. Couldn’t make it this time.

Capt is selling some amps, dunno if you’ve seen it yet.

TheMarlin

I’ll be at the Birmingham gig.  May still go to London, if there are any tickets left.
