Will they sell out the Wedgewood Rooms?

They've always seemed to when I've lived nearby.

Which is a shame because I've wanted to go in the past, purely as a last minute nostalgia thing.

And not because I secretly want to find Louise, a rather hott girl I got off with at their gig in Southampton Guildhall aged 15 circa 1996!

Mike, i walk around my house and think of you with nothing on!

now would it be a good idea to go to this tour? Expecting to Fly is a really good album, and it could be a good nostalgia-fest to see them play some of those songs.

But most of the stuff they've done since then (that I've heard) hasn't been to good, and they'll most likely only be playing the recent stuff won't they.

I saw them last year...

and they played a fair bit of old stuff...they always play Bluetonic, slight return, cut sme rug, and If which are worth the entrance fee alone. It's all about the nostalgia though...

I saw them at the wedgewood rooms about 4 years ago as well by getting in through the fire exit down the left hand side because they'd sold out and there were no touts about. We knocked on the door and some guy opened it, so we bought him a beer.
