The fact that its not a live performance of his music is the main driver. I am quite shy and I dont see myself going up and saying hello and the fact that I am not really into the "Quiet man" spoken thing is also a consideration.
Its nine hours by car or a short flight.
Uuummm, arrrr,ummmm,arrghhhhh! Now then young man - back in May on this thread you said "I'll go anywhere to see John"!

I too have ummed and ahhed about going to see John performing, especially if it's been one of his works I've not been quite as into. Each time I've gone to see him perform I ended up feeling glad I did and each time I didn't I regretted it later.
Also - let's be frank here - John's not getting any younger and may even decide to retire from live performances sooner rather than later; this might be your last chance!
Also; everyone on this forum who's met John has said how easy he is to talk to and however much we may be in awe of him, he's down to earth and puts you at your ease.
