Great to see there are dates but south west UK?? Plymouth Bristol etc….no shows within 150 miles of us
Comment by Beesey — May 11, 2009 @ 1:26 am
what a heap of dates you guys will be buggered by the end of it!………..What and no shows within how may kilometres it is to australia!lol!
How long does it take to drive 150miles ,3hours?about how long it would take me to get to Sydney if the fellas are ever able to make it there.

I’m with Beesey on this, closest to Edinburgh is Newcastle and that’s about the same distance. But good luck anyway.

When do tickets go on sale ?
What’s this London venue like ?
Comment by markw — May 11, 2009 @ 11:08 am
Great News……….Should be able to get to at least 2 of the dates
Comment by Steve P — May 11, 2009 @ 12:02 pm
Echo the comments of Beesey about no SW dates – I live in Exeter – even a Bristol date would be good..Thekla? Academy? But over the moon that you are back – I just hope I can see you this time round!!
Comment by richkeeley — May 11, 2009 @ 3:14 pm
Great news-should be able to get to Birmingham & Leeds. Unbelievably my local gig (Nottingham) falls when I’ll be up in the hills of the Lake District, but I can’t really complain. See you soon!
Comment by Jason N — May 12, 2009 @ 12:51 am
I don’t visit the site often – but glad I checked today – do these tickets become available in the “normal” way? i.e. Some agency tags on £5 for “booking fees” etc. or are they available through this site?
Another ‘journey’ into the loft in search of my ancient Petrols Bart Simpson- “Underacheiver” T-shirt willbe on the cards at the weekend!!

Great news boys, thank you. First gig of yours was Subterrania, West London and saw many more gigs after that. Missed the shows last year but this really makes up for it. Hope you have as much fun playing as I’ll have watching, dancing, moshing.

Really pleased to see the tour announced – bit sad no Bristol venue on there – but will try and twist Ali’s arm to get to the Friday night London one.
Where can we get tickets?
Comment by piratepalmer — May 13, 2009 @ 6:33 am
Yeah, Steve – how about celebrating 4 July with a West Country show? The comments already posted much justify the inclusion of at least one gig down here!
Comment by thesociablemisanthrope — May 13, 2009 @ 7:35 am
Definite yes please to the South West. I have very happy memories of the last coach from London after a BBC In Concert recording the 80s, but have one of those job things now. (And more happily, a marriage thing that would be far more amenably to Bristol or Exeter.)

Hey about some new blood for your London support?
Band is BridgeFire i manage them, http://www.bridgefire.com
Email me at nick@bridgefire.com if this would be possible?
Comment by nick1970 — May 13, 2009 @ 4:45 pm
any idea when Portsmouth will be confirmed? Looking forward to tour.
Comment by gimick — May 16, 2009 @ 6:58 am
Oh so excited then oh so gutted. I live in Cardiff and it’s all so far away. Please, please please play Wales.
Comment by alibabes — May 16, 2009 @ 7:22 am
Hey People, I’m sure you must all like the band to play in your town, but the reality is that they are having to take time out of their Familiy/
work commitments to do this tour. These are the Dates that they are doing, we should be grateful that we are getting these and get behind the band and support them.
Comment by Steve P — May 18, 2009 @ 11:56 am
Woohoo! I fancy a trip to Pompey to get some sea air and see the boys do their thing again. What could be better? Roll-on July …
Comment by roy — May 18, 2009 @ 4:49 pm
Well, Ali and I are good to go for the Birmingham gig – anyone else going to that one?
Comment by piratepalmer — May 19, 2009 @ 11:25 am
I know what you’re saying Steve P, and don’t worry on my account as i will find a way to see them where-ever they play..but there’s no harm in asking for a South west date, surely..one lives in hope…
Comment by richkeeley — May 20, 2009 @ 2:25 pm
Oh my! Despite not living in Nottingham, I get the mail out that includes Rock City, Rescue Rooms etc. which alerted me to this tour. I’m so pleased you’re playing my new home town, Birmingham. Oh boy, that mad Rock City gig when Stump were playing at another venue and y’all were wearing Stump shirts….
Comment by hypnobird — May 21, 2009 @ 6:19 am
why not play the fleece in bristol ? saw you in 93,great gig
Comment by dafros — May 21, 2009 @ 1:46 pm
Got my tickets for Brum gig – can’t wait – was at the Dirty Water Club gig last year and it was fantastic – 1st July here we come, looking forward to it big time!
Comment by ashlynn37 — May 22, 2009 @ 9:55 am
Just checking out Bloomsbury Ballroom. Doors open 7 o’clock, starts at 7.30. What time is the band likely to start? I’m getting the train from Cardiff after work and can’t leave till 6/6.30. Has anyone been here before. There are venues who have the support on and off within half an hour of doors opening, is this one of them?
Comment by alibabes — May 23, 2009 @ 12:44 am
I have booked my tickets for Birmingham, London, Manchester and Leeds….hmm might even stretch it to Newcastle. Roll on July!
Comment by TPEFAN — May 23, 2009 @ 8:48 am
Tickets booked for Birmingham – desperately want to go to the London one as well – would mean staying over though so
have to see.
Yay!
Comment by piratepalmer — May 26, 2009 @ 9:41 am
We need a Dublin gig other than Oxegen, something in the city for old times sake!!!
Comment by XLU — May 31, 2009 @ 11:34 am
Even visas takes forever Can’t you come and play in Turkey???

Hi Guys
Really looking forward to the gig in Manchester on 7th July but phoned Ticketline yesterday and they said the tickets were ‘frozen’. Don’t really want to travel an hour to Manchester and an hour back to buy them in advance. Any ideas? I saw comments posted about the lack of publicity in some areas for the gigs. I saw the ad in the NME and am booking for 3 or 4 of us to go. Praying it is still going ahead. Can you let me know whats happening? Cheers
Colboy
ps I was interviewed as the Manager of a local charity by a local community radio station to talk about my work. I had to pick my top 5 books (no problem) and top 5 songs (BIG problem – I had a list of 30 and trying to cut down) – a sort of desert island disks! Big Decision made the top 5 as a turning point in my teenage life and a committment to fighting the power! Thanks guys!
Comment by Colboy — June 28, 2009 @ 2:46 pm
@Colboy – I don’t know what’s going on, but I can’t imagine any way that they’re sold out! Don’t worry, we’ll sort you out one way or another. We can always find a way to squeeze a few more true believers in. Any problems, just come find me or anyone from the band and have them track me down.
Thanks for the Top 5 mention. Very flattering. :^)
Comment by smack — June 28, 2009 @ 6:19 pm
Steve’s reply to Colboy is a reminder of why I can’t wait for Birmingham on Wednesday.
Can you drop us hint about when you are on on Wednesday? Just trying to work out if I can fit food around train from darkest Somerset, check into hotel and pre-gig pint…
First time I’ll have seen you since Kilburn Irish youth festival in I think summer 1991 … and first time ever for my wife
Comment by BaldWelshGit — June 28, 2009 @ 10:19 pm
[...] They play the Birmingham Academy 2 tonight and then on for a total of 10 gigs (see list of gigs here). I will see them in Newcastle a week on Friday… can’t [...]
