I agree with Wolfy on the chosen venues. I am not a great fan of the O2 Academy venues to be honest even though I promoted a GH gig at one once.
I should have stuck to Pacific Road with the benefit of hindsight. It's right on my doorstep and saw Steve Hackett there recently. (Long story). It's a stander but the parking is excellent and a fine venue which seems to be holding its own despite the cuts. Steve's been back twice now. It will be like my own front room, Grace
Our webmaster, Dave and I got locked in another room at the Roadmender once. It was a real Spinal Tap moment which involved security men with keys and a reverse locking system which certainly confused me. They did let us out for the first number though needless to say
York Opera House looks like a nice weekend too. As wolfy said, Buxton is a nice town and worth combining with some other stuff to do.
Looking forward to this one. -
As I set before: GOOD for the UK fans. But the dedicated fans on the CONTINENT want also a proper GH tour (as my fellow fan Patrick already said). Come on let's rock in Europe, please

incredible reaction we received from last week's Black Country Communion UK
shows, I'm looking forward to touring solo in the UK in May," says Hughes.

I hear you guys clamoring for a Euro "proper" tour, but here in the USA we are lucky to get a show or two every couple to three years; and they are usually in LA and/or New York. At some point it would be real nice to not have to fly cross country, rent a car and room for two nights to see Glenn. Then if you want to see multiple shows you end up flying BACK across the country.
I know the logistics and economics of touring America are incredibly complicated, and it probably costs more to do two shows here than a full UK Tour; so I cannot blame G for not touring more extensively. Sure I WANT a US Tour, but to do so would be a bad fit for Glenn with all the difficulties that come with playing here. -
I hear what you are saying. Personal opinion is that that's what BCC will eventually do. At least I HOPE they do. My hat goes off to you for taking so much trouble to go and see our man. Fingers crossed for you.

Frank,
as i keep telling ya, come over to the UK for some shows!
It cant be baseball season all year :p -
Here's a piece in the local Cannock Chase Post

Here is a couple of places that BCC could stop in. hint hint
-
Great to see so many Scottish dates again.
A change in set list would be great as to be honest, apart from Sail Away, the rest sounded simialr (or was it the por sound at the 02 Academy??) -
I'll hopefully be at Buxton
edit....I will be at Buxton -
My long suffering wife has bought tow tickets to go see Glenn on May 17th 2011. Anyone one else from here going ? would be fun to meet for a few ( ) drinks before the show
-
Do you know what, I'm going Deadstar lol, coz I'm your wife ha ha
