Thanks as always for the update, love. Had a mate at the Belfast gig - last for her - and got a text after about how fab it was.

I really enjoyed Belfast - though the sound quality was totally awful. But it was good fun. And ultimately that's what counts. xx

Irish dates sound great love, though I thought they would be. Hope the rest are just as good x x x x

Oh, I'm sooooo behind. Thank you for the write-up. It makes me sad that the venues were underpopulated. I wish I could have been there to take up space :-)

Truth begins... this tour has been dreadfully promoted, and a lot of the gigs have been under populated - less so the campus university ones, but as for the others... well not much has sold out. Though Greystones took the cherry for being poorly attended - Carl told Mys before the gig that he thought only 20 people would be there (and 10 of those were people he knew). Actually, he was being overly pessimistic - they'd sold a lordly 70 before the show and probably as many on the door. But it is one of the great ironies that such a brilliant live band should have difficulties selling out a venue with a 320 capacity. Still, even that was a good gig, and not sure it matters much any more how many come - more significant is the quality of the crowd rather than its size.
