Hell, I'm still bitter I missed out on seeing JDB doing his solo thing at Newbridge Memo years ago. RIGHT ON MY FUCKING DOORSTEP, and it was sold out before I even knew it was happening.

I'm committed to going to Manchester, but I won't rule out seeing them again in Cardiff, or Newport if they do bring the THB20 tour home. I hope so, might help weed out the kind of people that shout out for "You Stole the Sun From My Heart" (they exist, believe it or not).

Seeing the demand has to get the band looking at doing more, knowing people want to see it. Whether that means additional nights at the existing venues or more venues being added.

James at the memo was awesome , one of my favourite gigs ever . And james was wondering around in ghe crowd before he went on : )

Erm no, they don't do that for any other gigs so hard luck (And you don't live in Wales anymore anyway)

Knowing my luck they will play on the day I fly up to Glasgow lol Still going to try for this, but suspect it'll be even worse trying for tickets than it was today, so i'm glad I have some already!

I'm lucky enough to have tickets to one of the Manc gigs but a North Wales date would be awesome. It's always more fun when you don't have to conserve enough energy for the 2 hour drive back home after the gig

No further hints from Nicky yet then. Gaz40, any more snippets of info?

Ooh, this could turn into the King Tuts Thread #2

[MSPKYE]

Actually if it's going to be in a Castle we won't need postcode presales (we'll all just fight it out in a field with our trebuchets...)

Fans will be required to storm said castle. Whoever gets in, will get to watch the gig.

Whilst nicky taunts us from the battlements?

With Craig Charles as compere.

"No winners this time, on Nicky's Castle. Maybe next tour? Maybe? Maybe...?!"

Well I was lucky enough to get Blackwood tickets and I live in Peterborough( James even thanked me for coming from so far when I met him) I did apply twice tho, one with my postcode and a Newport one so not sure which was the winner. Some of the crowd were flat admittedly but I got in a good gaggle on Nicky's side. Still a great gig for me for the place and memories.

It's surprising how may people on Takeshi's Castle did win! Somewhere on Youtube there's a compilation of all of the victories...
