THE CLIFFS PAVILION GET IN THERE.

and I have until September to save to get tickets.

I will try and get to one of the RAH shows as well.

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere.

But I have just heard on the Radio next Monday night on Radio 2.Annie Nightingale is hosting a programme about the impact of Shipbuilding and the Falklands war.

My lot are meeting at Liverpool St for 6. I am trying to get them to head for the Goat. We normally go the other tube station though. It looks walkable from Gloucester Road, which is easier to get to than High St Ken. Cant remember If it is Gloucester Rd or South Ken It is just a walk up the road. ...

The good news weather wise is London is suppose to be very nice Wednesday and Thursday and about time too.

On another subject Elvis has done no publicity at all for this tour or have I missed it?

As a young child the first music I remember is the early Bee Gees and the Monkees. Very sad to hear of Robin's passing. So soon after Davy Jones.

RIP Robin

Cant wait for this

Part of me wishes this was only coming out to coincide with the UK tour. I am tempted to leave watching the dvd until after the RAH show, I know I wont though. Not to spoil how the show runs even though I have a good idea. I missed it in 86. I got the solo night at the Royalty go and watch with no ...

Prime time ITV 1 comedy Benidorm featured Watching The Detectives last night.

The Royal Albert Hall is selling much better than I expected not many tickets left bar the restricted view tickets near the top.

Chef Simon Rimmer from TV's something for the weekend twitted he was on the the train to liverpool yetserday afternoon and Elvis Costello was on in.
Maybe going football or home to see the family

Not a surprise but very sad all the same. Thoughts and prayers with Elvis and the four McManus boys who lost their mother just a couple of weeks ago.

When Elvis added the second date at the RAH there must have been a knowledge of how many people had applied for tickets. Perhaps the demand in Dublin was such that the previous hall wasn't big enough, I can't see why you would upgrade or add an extra date if there was little interest. I do think thi...

I know they are cover versions but I dislike 'Bama lama bama loo' and it's ilk. Never been a lover of Luxembourg And there are bits of the Delivery Man and SP&S that I wouldn't miss if I never heard them again. The tuneless noise songs as someone else said. And I cant be bothered to look up the ...

I see from facebook that Ross's wife has just died.(if he is still with Ronan's mum) I am 'friends' with Ronan and there are messages of sympathy for him regarding his mum.

What an awful time they must be going through. Prayers are with them all.

As someone else said, the only London gig I've seen looking empty was the Tower of London - such a shame - but I seem to remember the tickets were astronomically expensive - 60 quid, I seem to recall! And I seem to recall you paid far far far less than that Neil. :lol: It was an exorbitantly expens...

I agree

I think the solo shows do not sell as well as the Imposters shows. Elvis to be is an aquired taste, 30 odd years into his career he is doing well to still be playing to as many people as he is. The only show I have been to that was half empty was the Tower Of London show. But I believe all the shows...

LIverpool and Basingstoke presales sold out

Got Stalls Block J at the RAH as well. Would the other ones in front be for the special price £75 reserved tickets

I believe it is the Bank Holiday that weekend as well. I think we will make a weekend of it. That's the week later (you had me going there as I'm at a wedding that Saturday!). Comes late next year. Ties in with some royal thing. Yes your are right it would normally be that weekend but I think its t...

Depends on your budget, but expensive end of the spectrum near there are Crowne Plaza and, nicest, Doubletree Hilton. bit cheaper would be Royal Cambridge. Slightly further but easily walkable and pretty decent is the Regent. Or the huge University Arms. Can't think of any smaller B & B options...

Oboy oboy oboy oboy oboy oboy. Erstwhile board frequenter Jackson Doofster Monk texts me at work to ask which show I'm going to and sends me a link with some of the dates on, so I'm thinking 'nice, will get my ass down to the RAH', but now after midnight and finally able to look at the internet for...
