A Welsh castle sounds amazing! After the Maida Vale recording the other week I'm pretty certain I heard James mention North Wales when someone else asked about gigs, along with Manchester and Barrowlands. I assumed Llandudno at the time, then the THB tour announcement came and there was no Welsh date so I just figured I'd either misheard or James had got it wrong/plans had changed...but maybe this is what he meant. Could be wrong though, could be Cardiff Castle, but then there are plenty of castles to choose from in Wales. Hope it does go ahead anyway; I've been wanting the band to play different venues for a while and it seems like they've really made an effort to choose appropriate venues to do THB in.

I figured we'd be getting two sets at these gigs as well; for all the talk from some people of wanting them to just do THB and nothing else, I personally would feel a tad short changed for the price of the ticket if that's all we got More Futurology tracks would be nice.

I'd feel short changed aswell with just a 40 minute set. Expected them to do the same as they did on the JFPL tour

Seriously a gig in a Castle?! That sounds far too awesome to ever happen. Don't even mention that there is a slight possibility it could happen in North Wales¬ lol It's far too exciting to let myself think about!

There are a few castles in North Wales though, not just Conwy

Need to stop thinking about this now.

Sounds like these gigs could be brilliant if what Wire is saying happens.

Yeah, Cardiff Castle's slap-bang in the city centre.

I could see them doing Caerphilly, actually. It's nearer to Blackwood too, I believe.

Maybe just a general tour of welsh castles!

Cardiff I suppose would be more practical. Caerphilly is a lovely castle though, and wouls be special for them being Caerphilly boys.
