£46.13! :roll:

Gutted not to be able to make this but have two Skids gigs in June plus gigs in July so the cash won't stretch :cry:

I would still pay that amount to see them, they are the most powerful band I have ever seen live, no going through the motions with KJ.
If I'm honest, I probably would too.

I got an email about this gig aswell. I can make it as Monday is my day off work. I had a look at the ticket price and

£45 for a ticket is a bit steep if you ask me. I can't afford it till payday on April 28th, and even then it will either be sold out, but still too expensive. I thouht they said Money was not there god?

Does anyone know if they are planning a new studio album after they release the new versions of their old stuff with an orchestra?

I think someone on here said they had already written about six new songs and that was quite a while ago. I'm hoping they keep that Pylon sound going. That was a brilliant album. I don't want a return to the Hossanahs sound really.

I thought Hosanna's an improvement on the previous , but the next two ( Pylon , MMXii or whatever ) were a big improvement on that - Jazz actually sings rather than yells all the way through . They get better with age IMO .

record company have the "option" to release a new album or pass and let them go to another label.
It's standard practice and the label said "yes please, lets have another album"
