Based on the last couple of times I've seen them, you can expect...
1. Minimal chat between songs
2. Steve Diggle will be a bit pissed by the end of the evening
3. A set list of around 30 tracks, including all the hits
4. A great night out

Four fat blokes? One of them is fat, fair enough, but I hope I look as good as Diggle when I get to 53 assuming I'd live a lifestyle such as his! 8)
