There's more chance of the manic street preachers playing GM this year than BPB. the power strugle has been lost at te hart of the festival,the curates have gone and with them any adventure and risk taking wih the line up.profit first, charge for kids ect......
The gig is still TBC - perhaps having to wait until full tour is announced - or maybe some festival announcements. If he can be persuaded to stay in the country an extra month he'd be very welcome to headline No Direction Home. *crosses fingers and toes*
Ray.. according to the domino website the hackney show will be Will and the full band he used on Wolfroy.
For me that is a reason to celebrate... pretty much everytime i've seen him he will come on and do a few solo numbers anyway (just him and guitar). So now we get the best of both worlds!
hey should we all wear our "All Night Disco ..." Tshirts? Not that i have one.
regarding the april / may shows with trembling bells, there's this from the acorn's website:
"the shows will encompass a special select route around the South West of England with support from Routes South West to take place around the 'Obby Oss' May Day celebrations."
whether this rules out many shows further north, i don't know
obviosuly there's already one in holmfirth which is yorkshire - so maybe not

If he plays Southampton or Bournemouth I'm there. Otherwise it turns into a logistical and expensive nightmare.

so...
i have it on good authority (via alex nielsen) that the two UK shows in january will not be expanded to a full tour
apparently the celtic connections thing was booked first - and then london tacked on
but... bonnie will be back in april with a full tour on the back of the duets album with trembling bells
and... the two january shows will be solo - just will - no band

EOTR are tweeting about reading BPBs new book.
They'd better fucking not be thinking of booking him. If he's playing anywhere this year it with us. innit? surely?
as an aside.. his new album with Trembling Bells is romping good fun. Love it.
