That was for the Roundhouse though. Im not even sure this is an Electric Proms gig, there's been a few just bog standard 'Radio 2 Presents...' gigs, Jamiroquai did one last month, dunno how tickets were obtained though.

SKON will no longer be the next single. It will be replaced by Don't Be Evil featuring Nicky as Santa. Sean will front a Salvation Army band with his trumpet. JDB will be eating the mince pies.

They've found a way to un-record Autumnsong and wipe the memories of all who have heard it.

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Fell in love with that album this week, in a way I didn't when it first came out.

If it is the blackwood gig, I bet that even though it's almost on my doorstep, I'll not get to go. It's JDB in Newbridge all over again...

I like Autumnsong, actually, but that did make me laugh!

Being such a small venue, is the Miner's Institute likely to be radio announcement worthy?

Although it does appear to be hosting 'Caerphilly's Got Talent'.

It is if it's Radio 2's gig and tickets are through them

Believe me, this town hasn't got an inch of talent in it, Tommy Cooper used up our quota.
