cant wait i`m going too friends have ben to see them already this tour in brum and glasgow they said they rocked but nevs a bit subdued now due to dodgy knees getting on a bit cant jump around as much

[Barra]

Nice one Twig...that's gotten me even more in the mood for it..seen Neville Staples and his band last year at one of them BUTLINS Eighties weekends...fantastic !!!!!

Word of caution though not too many beers beforehand i've heard those toilets in the exhibition hall are rubbish and the thought of 8000 in there means that all my drinking will be afterwards !!!!
