It's been confirmed that William Elliott Whitmore will be providing support for all the December shows. He's fantastic! Don't miss him.

Wow 3 Dublin gigs, i wish i was rich

[Mark_Wafc]

A decent Manchester venue at long last!!!

& Sheffield on a Saturday night too, very handy!

[AlistairMitchell92]

Im guessing about 10th for glasgow
Phil says hang about 4 r 5 days after steve earle on the 6th ?
Complete stone roses are playing on the 11th (i am also attending )
put 2 and 2 together robert

Thanks Alister, Steve Earle is playing a rare gig in Shetland on the 11th that I wouldn't want to miss so I guess I'm 'hoping' The Pogues gig is nearer the 6th than the 10th? Hopefully that will be the case as I would hate to miss the Pogues show too! These last few years the concerts have been brilliant!! Flights from Shetland to Glasgow can be expensive and the sooner they're booked the cheaper you get them. It will probably end up being a compromise I fear

Can i just say what a guess from me Sherlock who ?

[rumsodomyandthelash]

What is the Olympia like, has anyone been ?
I went to the point a few years back, great gig shit venue, , love to do Dublin Brum and Brixton but can't afford it and i know Brixton will be awesome, it is always is, at least when the sound desk remains dry it is

[Heather]

I had an awful dream the other night that there were going to be no Saturday gigs, but thankfully it hasn't come true. I can see I'm going to be spoilt for choice. Which of the Saturday gigs shall I go to this year?

I'm tempted by Dublin, I saw the Dubliners at the Olympia theatre in the early ninties, Sheffield I've never been too, and I've always liked the Brixton Academy, hmmm decisions, decisions.

[AlistairMitchell92]

As far as I know, most of these go on general sale this Friday, but hopefully we can get more info on that before then. I'm not entirely sure why it has come to pass that we now announce shows 48 hours before they go on sale, but it is something about which I mean to find out.
