A million thank in advance...

Rob

I've just booked my ticket.

Let me know if anyone wants to meet up.

Brian

Thank goodness for that. One of me is more than enough for anyone.

I appreciate the compliment though - too kind.

I hope you enjoy the show and look forward to reading about it.
Regrettably it has proved beyond my means and time to get to this presentation.

Given the eloquent description, it sounds like it deserves a professional recording of the event.

I don't know the TV scene in the UK. Does the BBC (or whoever) do arts/music programs? Perhaps they can be prodded into recording it for broadcast. Next best alternative would be to bring out a video on DVD.

Absolutely not, Martin. Your reviews etc are of a very high standard for anyone to come up to par with. As soon as Rob mentioned doing a review I immediately thought of you.

It's a shame you can't be there. I would happily hand the baton back to you.

Still, the only pressure is the pressure I put on myself, & I've never ducked a challenge, so all I need to find is my quill, parchment paper, ink & blotter, then I'll be on my way after I've put WD40 on my Pennyfarthing.

I make notes at the gigs I go to in a series of notebooks for which I now have a modest reputation.

I use those red-and-white 'value' notebooks from ASDA - grand sum of 19 PENCE each!!!
One of those little things that is so unbelievably naff its actually quite cool...

My brother's seen posters for this event in various locations around Durham (he's a student there). He sent me a picture - not sure how to post it here. John's name is very prominently displayed .

The performance has also got some internal publicity. My brother has his own show on the Durham student radio station, and he's been promoting it heavily, along with some tasters of John's music. Here's hoping that it has the desired effect...

There also seems to be an official short promo video:-

Excellent - thanks for posting this!!

Does anyone else use Miro?

Look forward to seeing the posters...

You'll need to put it up somewhere and then use the IMAGE tag to include a link to it here.

I'd love to see it. I would be nice if they were for sale too, say from Townsend. (hint, hint)
I imagine we'll find out how well it worked soon enough.
