Common Rotation have just been announced as appearing at Collectormania 8 in Milton Keynes, on September 30th - October 2nd. They will also be playing at the Collectormania Party on Saturday October 1st. Entrance into the event is free (you'll have to pay for autographs) and tickets for the party are £15.

Jo

first of all

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

THIS is what I was waiting to hear

oooh sneaky - the party tickets are going on sale at London Film and Comic Con first .. and "any left" are being made available by phone afterwards.

I guess that means I WILL be going to the aforementioned event after all?!

and I guess I'd better sort an hotel out soonest!

paaaaaaaarty!

Yes! YES!!! YEEEEESSSS!!1!one!!1!eleven



Oh dear, thank god, since I won't be able to go to the London shows, at least there's that (and I so hoped for it).

Phhheeeewwww....

Yipee! This is fantastic news.

I will be thinking of you all whilst getting absolutly wasted in Southampton. Collectormania always takes my money ( I don't volunteer it or anything )So its either that or London dates (and hopefully a few more ?!) I should stick around Uni the first few days of term anyway...see what Im trying to do here ? Talk myself into staying at home. Which I definitly will be doing. Maybe...possibly

Right, I can see the first week of October being booked off work! Hmm, bet that will go down well with my manager, I only come back from New York a couple of weeks before, ah well!

I'm gonna be broke!

Px

Looks like I'm going to have to break a leg again or something, 'cause mine just said 'no way' (he's a jobsworth, what can you do?). Oh well.

lol gamiila .. any excuse to avoid Milton Keynes?! - I know your game !

Hey Gamiila, doesn't that ankle need to be operated on?

Mine does after MY fall down the stairs. Perhaps you can schedule the op around the time of the gigs? evil

/me wonders if she should try that as well. :D Ah no, long-haul flying with a cast. Perhaps not.

*doesn't that ankle need operating on?*

Actually, it does -- but I'm not ruining my chances of ever wearing heels again, especially not now I've bought a pair of killer green metallic ones with hard pink stitching and silver studs that are simply to die for!

Fingers crossed though: I'm in the process of acquiring another job, and if all goes well, I could be telling Jobsworth where to stick his very very soon.

What what WHAT? Not being able to wear heels again? MY guy never said anything about that! horrors

we all shoe gals ?! Me to....the money I have spent in the past on one pair of shoes is criminal....I have gone off on a tangent.But yeh ! MK....wooo !

Sue -- your guy never said? He's evil! Or maybe your ankle doesn't need shortening of the ligament\fixation of the joint? Anyway, you're very brave if you go through with it. I tip my hat to you.

Nai,

Footwear is love. And I've got love in abundance (around 140 pairs at present)!

This is totally off-topic of course, but the ligaments need to be tightened and reattached to the foot, and I need an arthroscopy to scrape out the damaged cartilage from within the joint. He said afterwards I should have a firm ankle and hopefully never sprain it again - he did NOT mention fusing of the joint. I wouldn't have it if that was what was required. That would mean a permanent limp. Not that I don't limp already, but I'm hoping that will go when I'm no longer in pain. I wasn't very well the day I saw the surgeon, and did not ask any questions. Perhaps I ought to make another appointment. worried

Completely off-topic, of course; but my word! that fall's turned out to have been quite a bit worse than you let on -or were led to believe- initially, hasn't it? You poor dear. I'm shocked!

My experience with the surgeons was very similar, though. I had to ask specifically what it would mean for my chances of wearing heels again, and then they did a passable impression of a goldfish. You see, they don't think about these things. They just see a problem and are all intent on fixing it, but don't ask themselves what it would mean to the patient beyond the mere practicalities.

I'm now told my ankle will likely remain a weakness, but I don't care. I'm more concerned with how much longer it's going to take for the swelling to go down, and the residual pain to go away.

/me resolves to make another appointment to ask all these questions. Mind you, I might welcome an excuse not to torture myself with heels anymore.

I was actually more concerned about the "six weeks in a cast" part. Crutches are NOT my friends. I also don't really believe that it won't hurt or that I will be able to go back to work with the cast on (as if!).

Though it does sound like your injury is worse than mine was. I still have a good deal of pain, but there's little swelling and I DO spend a lot of time on my feet at work, so the pain isn't surprising.

I know what mean: I hope I never have to go back on my crutches ever again (a present from Manchester Royal Infirmary, they're currently gathering dust in a corner of the spare room). 6 Weeks in a cast doesn't sound too bad though -- I once spent 12 weeks with a compound fracture, and apart from the occasional itching, it wasn't that uncomfortable. I remember when the cast came off, though: this funny little skinny white leg with this huge foot attached emerged, and I felt sure it wasn't anything to do with me!

Sounds like you gave birth, not broke your leg! LOL

NEVER ask me about shoes! Lol! I work for Jones Boot Maker or at least a company that they own. It is sale time so I am at the point of never wanting to see another pair of shoes as long as I live, or at least not a pair that I have to fit!

I have a growing collection of heels, but being 5'9" means I don't really need them! I can see an excuse to get a new pair for MK mind you!

Px

Jones Bootmakers, eh? I'm always checking in there when I'm in London (and Harrods, and Pied A Terre, and L K Bennet)...I've got quite a little collection! And I'm 5' 6-and-a-half", so can do with a bit of elevation;-)!

They do have some nice things, but they do tend to be over priced and have a habit of falling apart though. I didn't say that! Honest! Lol!

The discount is one of the reasons that I stay there!

Although not yet up on the front page at the Collectormania site .. Showmasters have announced on the message forum that the Party (and talk) tickets are on sale at phone 01234 752 485. I'm going to try for mine tomorrow morning.

*bump* and grind and party on? hee - excited much?

looking forward to seeing some of you folks tomorrow night!:D Collectormania 6 was my first introduction to the soundtrack of my life .. so that means I've been hanging around these parts for only almost a year (seems like longer, I know :P!) .. here's to many more new fans emerging from C8

can't wait! woohoo!!

Argh! I was there! I dragged people up to listen. And that drunk guy that Adam abused was standing next to me. :P

But seeing as "Julia will be on soon with her wonderful review" I'll keep my words to myself and see what she has to say.

But I should warn her that if Meryl and I don't get a 'wonderful' mention in her review then we'll be digging the dirt on Julia and yes, those "special photos" will then see the light of day (insert very evil grin and an evil cackle here!)

However to be serious for a second, I must say a very heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone there who made me feel so welcome. It was great to finally meet some of you in person. It makes a good gig even better when you have some mad people around you to share the joy

Before you start asking, yes I did take some photos and yes I will put them online as soon as I can but I'm busy today so give me a moment to see if any of them are actually worth showing.

Have fun guys but don't over do it,
Geoff.

...and in a couple of days time we'll be doing it again, and again

Yes a wonderful & mad time was had by all!

The show was great, we had banjo & glock. The glock sounded good even though Adam only uses one bonger! Ok that's my review, I'm sure Jules will do better, & I think Jess or Fiorina snagged a setlist.

They seemed to be doing a roaring trade on the merch stand, we were all snapping up the new T shirts, no gloating Geoff because you only need a medium, grr!

Can't wait to do it all over again Thursday.

Hey Guys! No fair make fun of the poor Jules
OK - easy target - fair enough. But Geoff - don't you dare with the photos... let me see first .. pretty pretty please!

I will behave Thursday. (and Friday.. and maybe Saturday if you are very lucky)

I behaved this Saturday.

..just not very well! But apparently I don't have to feel bad - I have this on a few authorities .. so no making me :P

LOL - and everyone else just make up your own story from that - it will be more interesting than the truth

I hope the tickets are flying out the door now for next week from the new found fans. I'm waiting for that lovely *sold out*

I love my new tshirt. I love my new CD. I love the fact my favourite band in the world are in my bit of it again. See you soon uk showmates xx

It looks like you all had a wonderful time. Of course, that's bound to happpen with CR. While we wait for the full report, anybody have a set list?

heya all i went to Collector manie 8 and met adam busch he is soooo nice and every thing, it was birthday wen i went and i told him and he was like wow cool ahppy birthday adn every thing we high fived (i was sooo star strucked) and then he gave me a hug!!!!!! we hug like 3 times!!!! but who counting, he also put on the piche sighned for me sayaing for sarah happy birthday! i love you adam busch!!! i was almost in tears after i met him i also got the new album sighned by he and i want stop listening to it! it is the best soo far!

..didn't catch the last one myself - zoomed way up back and the hall was rubbish for acoustics and such. sure the titled copied original is on its way.

*deletes the recording at once* .. pretty perfect set, not pretty and imperfect me - Actually I'm really supposed to stop saying things like that. I DO care though - So, sorry... for both the apologising, AND the reasons behind it
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Roll on Thursday! woohoo! now THERE'S one we will NEED to capture, I bet

If I am trying to introduce people to Common Rotation’s music the ‘party’ is really not the best place to do it, so I have made sure that they are all coming to the Troubadour. From previous experience the acustics in the room are at best crap and at woarst utter, utter crap. If you are more than ten rows back the distoirtion is enough to make your ears bleed: (

Where was I again? Oh yeah I remember, we found our hotel and soon headed out for the party! Common Rotation would soon be on stage (ok it might be a few hours as yet, but that’s soon right?)
I have been really looking forward to this run of gigs, being in a crowd of people who bounce and sing a long is much more fun than being forced to sit ala Sacramento, much as I enjoyed Sacremento and I did: ) But today I am a happy bunny.

We bump into Jules (waves) and a few other people (waves again) who I can’t name check because I have a really hard job remembering names, outside of work and what with the amount of 'oh look another glass of cheap and yet surprisingly expensive red wine!' It was nigh on impossible: )
We avoid the ‘Storm troupers’ who appear to be getting a little carried away with their respective ‘roles’ and head off upstairs to the ‘party’ room.
We find a nice wall stage left to park our backsides for a couple of hours and Deb brings me more wine and oh what is this? Deb bought a copy of Eric’s solo cd
hearts Deb and does a highly complex routine involving pompoms and things
Oh no I have no pockets and I have a very, very precious thing to guard worries for effect
I have a very interesting conversation with the photographers about camera’s, lighting, the crapness of the room, the height of the stage and ‘Deb are you alright?’ For a moment I thought that I had killed Deb by allowing my inner techie nerd out to play, but no she’s alright, she starts to sing the Eric tuning song pokes Deb There is a time and a place for everything you know Deb!
Deb threatened to withhold the Eric cd from me if I didn’t let her. Deb won being my big sister and all, oh and with the, withholding stuff, nuff said really.

Soon it was time, the stage lights came on and then so did Eric in a ‘Good grief is that a flowery shirt? Oh yes it is I think It must be an Americanism that has thankfully passed me by!’

* Men of the world, just say NO to flowery shirts for my sake please! * they bring back traumatic memories;-)

I soon got over my bad self and the flowery shirt honest *mumble, mumble, flowers cries mumble mumble, I am ok now (Cries for effect)
Note:- please note I have no sense of fasion or style so what the hell do I know: )

The set was really, really good and despite previous worries from me ‘cut throat’ the guitar behaved like a perfect lady and appeared to stay in tune throughout only occasional minor tuning needed The ‘Eric tuning’ song must have done the trick.
We bounced and sung along to:-

We didn’t hear the last song of the set at all because did I tell you that the acoustics in the room are beyond crap? But yay we get to do it all again in a few nights time (bounce, bounce)

Oh and Go and order a copy of 'Eric's solo cd' cos it is very, very good: )

Great review of the fun "anon" was that an accidental cloak?! I wasn't ripping it off incase!

waves back

anyone would think I've got nothing better to do than sit here and lurk and listen to DBOC all day .... took the week off, what can I say. (apart from joining you in an "is it Thursday yet"?!)

Who started with the DBOC? - I read Deebok.. and it's way not a GORGEOUS enough word!

It's a shame the organisers couldn't have tried to sort the sound out a bit better - everyone not right at the front complained at C6 and it now the same for C8... Lessons learned? Not that I know if it's possible to DO anything? Without rebuilding the room that is! Just a pity the people at the back missed out!

Any first time visitors around these parts, from the weekend yet? Hope you can make London or Glasgow!! Going to be awesome *times three*

I take full responsiblity for the above anon, complaints can be sent to my web site http://howtobeannoynmousinthreeeasysteps.com

Did any one get their new album i did and it roks! my fave song at the mo is dont lets start it is soooooo cool!

Was Wasted Words was the off mike song or are you saying you didn't catch the last song because of the bad acoustics?

Hi Sarah .. it's not quite so new The Big Fear - but you are definitely right - it rocks! Don't Lets Start is a They Might Be Giants Cover track ...seldom heard live these days though I think - shame My favourite track had always been, from when I got the CD last September Post Modern(I recall one of my first thoughts went -WOW. who ARE these guys? how do you get a word like "psychoanalyzing" into a lyric and it sound so amazing!) ... with Offstage Lines close close second. You don't sound as if you got to the Party too? Did you? Or going to any show this week? and Happy Belated birthday

No watcher - Wasted Words on stage .. cue run to the back of the hall for .. might have been the Louisiana one (?) currently the closing fave? The sound doesn't carry in that room at all well - even WITH mics .. maybe the setlist will be the only way we know for sure! .. because I expect most posters here were at the stage.

If it helps to identify the song, when I heard it at the Acoustic Cafe, Louisiana 1927 started with Jordan on trumpet, Adam on harmonica and Eric on guitar (of course). Then Eric starts to sing while Jordan switched to his banjo.

I'm sorry if you didn't hear this. They all sing on the song and it sounds fantastic. Love that CR harmony!

It helps not at all! I couldn't hear anything! .. Maybe another day

I'm sure it was the Louisiana song, I caught that much but not being capable of running at that stage I was at the back too

Great review Christy. It was good to hear 92 Mikes again & Auctioneer & the new acoustic How To Lose. One of my favourite moments was Adam opening up his glock & getting his bongers out, I'm sure that's the technical term for them

Yes we were amused by Eric's flowery shirt too, & did you see his cute waistcoat with the furry lining?

One of my favourite moments was Adam opening up his glock & getting his bongers out

lol Mezzer .. guess what? I remember they were yellow! Don't tell me they weren't now ... I felt a lucid moment coming on !

And don't click and spoil your technical word - but it was driving me mad today not knowing what to write for the stick-thingamys! apparently they are called that!

Panic over.

Yes we were amused by Eric's flowery shirt too, & did you see his cute waistcoat with the furry lining?

No I missed out on that one: ) Furry? He must think that it's cold in England for some reason!

Flowery!....I am afraid of flowery shirts on women let alone men (cries in the corner for effect)

Yay! They're called bongers!! So when I yell Adam get your bongers out at the Trouby nobody will give me any strange looks!!

At least Eric took his waistcoat off, Adam kept his jacket on throughout the show, he's really going to feel the cold when he's out & about in London!

hahhaa aww Mezzer they might! .... DO it!

you are in denial bless your heart

Mind you I did say don't click the link didn't I.

Julia why did you give me that link, there are furry ones there!! Still it will keep me amused til Thursday!

At least Eric took his waistcoat off, Adam kept his jacket on throughout the show, he's really going to feel the cold when he's out & about in London!

We had better stock up on Lemsips just in case, as a precaution against colds and sore throats;-)

Oh amd I am looking forward to the mass cries of ::Get your bongers out!::

Christy you're right, I'll bring my Fisherman's Friends along, Julia can bring the Vicks vapor rub

Good job, that way we will have all eventualities covered ::Grin::

Hmm! Maybe I am in denial but get your Unwound keyboard mallets out doesn't have the same ring to it. Who could have guessed there would be so many different varieties of bongers? OK I'm becoming obsessed now!

Who could have guessed there would be so many different varieties of bongers?

Not me that for sure!

OK I'm becoming obsessed now!

Err maybe we should concentrate on the singular bonger rather than the plural bongers because he only uses one of them after all. Only one to think about therefore less chance to become obsessive: )

To get back to the music, maybe we should do a fave track from the Big Fear to keep our minds from wandering. Sarah has picked Don't Let's Start, I'll go with Fortunate. Has this song been retired now, maybe it was a pain thinking up new lyrics.

Fortunate I love that song they haven't played it in the longest time, Glasgow would be a good place to dust it off

Has no-one got pics of the infamous flowery shirt then?

Yes! I have loads of photos, just give me a little bit of time to wade through 1.25Gb worth of them and then I'll start putting some on the web for ALL to see!

Of course then no doubt I'll also end up with another two loads from the Trouby to do as well...

Cheers, Geoff.

Have you waded through them yet Geoff?

Have you, have you ::Taps fingers annoyingly on the table::

Not that I am impatient or anything: )

On a more serious note I thought that your photographs from the April gigs were brilliant (you somehow captured the atmosphere of the Troubadour, which is not an easy thing to do!)

Kodos to you Geoff

Fortunate would indeed be an excellent choice for the Glasgow gig in my humble opinion : )

How about just one flowery shirt... to tide us over?

Ok, I give in!

It's really not what I like doing but here's a couple of unedited (just resized) photos from Milton Keynes.

As you can the actual web site isn't there yet because I haven't had enough time to write it let alone edit all the photos.

http://sanguinity.org.uk/coro/index.html

Enjoy!

Geoff

Unedited or not Geoff, they are great well done you: )

Thankyou very much
Christy

eeeeek!

and I looooove the other teasers - you totally remind me why I don't even need point a camera at the stage when you are there Geoff.

lovely as always!

thanks for being nagged into sharing some now

Geoff you gave in

Very lovely pics, can't wait to see the rest. Oops sorry no more nagging!

I like the flowery shirt!

Geoff! ~ Thanks for sharing. Those are great photos. I love the colors. And Eric's shirt is awesome.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Just to reiterate however ‘lovely, awesome, fashionable, blah blah blah’ the flowery shirt is(and I am sure your right) I can’t help it, I just NO!

Please bear in mind that this comment comes from a girl who only wears heals once every ten or so years and as already stated :-

‘Note:- please note I have no sense of fashion or style so what the hell do I know: )’

I am happiest out in the fields with my horses, and firmly believe that flowers are for fields, not furniture (I am from England give me a break, have you seen our floral prints?) and certainly not shirts

Sorry for any offence caused by the way: )

Great photos!

Hi, Julia, you're looking well! Hope you haven't worn out that cd yet! Jordan's shirt looks very Brit and retro to me. Eric's haircut makes him look so young. It looks like he has on a flannel shirt, right? The print looks like kitchen wallpaper, again a very retro look to me. And you captured Adam just perfectly!

These photos are fabulous! Are you a pro photographer, because that's how good the photos look to me. Damn, I never get that much light on them! I know I asked this before, but what kind of camera are you using?

Hi, Julia, you're looking well!

lol hiya watcher .. I hope looking gleeful at least - as that would be an accurate snapshot of the moment! (talk about giving a person a shock with a clicky link though - I trust the edited version would have been cropped at Paul McCartney's nose, Geoff?! :P)

The link's not working for me!

Hey, it's working now!!

And LOOK at the boys!! (Julia's pretty too, of course)

Eric's haircut... melts

I think Jordan's shirt is just... neat!

Lastly, that pic of !Adam. I suspect he'll get as much of a kick out of it as we do.

The pictures look great. I forgot my camera how gutted was I!!?
Funny thing that did happen though was at the end of the night. Me and my bro were just chilling, perched on the tables CoRo occupied for most part of the night, when all of a sudden this guy came and sat next to me and his mate just took a picture of us. And then his mate wanted one too. How bizzare is that? It all went so quick that I even completley forgot about it the next day. Some dude out there has a picture of me - freaky thought!

I think the photo of Adam really captured his spirit (how corny and deep does that sound?) and the atmosphere. Crazy fun basically.
Eric's shirt rules!
And aren't J's just the cutest? He really reminds me of someone can't think who though.

Just a quick correction that last bit is supposed to be a comment on J's dimples.
I keep having to watch my back when I type as I'm at work and don't want the boss to catch me, inevitably mistakes ensue.

Just stopping by for a quick round-up of answers because I'm actually on holiday and I'd promised myself that I'd stay away from any keyboards this week. Alas, you guys seem to have a different plan in mind for me!

So, in no particular order...

Sue: Sorry about the delay. As it's a brand new web site domain it can take up to a day (or even longer) for it's address to filter around the Internets main 'address book' system (or, for the more technically minded, DNS propagation takes a while).

Sue: Yep, the there's another photo added to the bottom of my page to show you the new unisex green t-shirt!

Sue + Rikki: I love taking photos of Adam as he's just so amazingly expressive. His physical performance contributes so much to his verbal one.

Julia: I put that photo online because you do look fantasic in that moment of delight as you proudly slip the CD into your player. It also goes to show that I don't just take 'evil' photos of you

Julia: Why would I want to crop the photo at Paul's nose as you suggested? If I did that then we wouldn't get to see the CD - lol!

Mezzer: If you don't stop nagging then I'll post all the photos - and I do mean ALL the photos Then I think it wouldn't just be Julia that's after my blood...

Watcher652: I'm using a Canon EOS 350D (In the USA it's called the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT) with a Canon f1.8 fixed 50mm lens for the on stage photos and the old Canon IS 75-300mm zoom for the sneaky daytime shots.

The only problem with using a fast lens like that at the ends of it's range is that the depth of focus can be as little as an inch on the target. So you get loads of photos that are just out of focus, hence the need to take a large number and weed out the blurred ones.

The main differance I found this time at the gig was that as I'm getting more familiar with this camera I'm able to play around with all the technical aspects of taking photos with a full DSLR style camera. It's a pretty steep learning curve but it's very rewarding.

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind comments about my photos. I enjoy taking them and sharing them, and it makes the time I spend doing all the techy bits to sort them out and put them online seem very worthwhile. I'm not in it for the ego-trip, I just love to see and hear others enjoying themselves.

And finally, Christy: Ah the voice of reason. I soooo totally agree with you about that horrid flowery shirt!

Cheers, Geoff.

Geoff, thanks for the photo of Matt and the new Union Maid shirt. I hope it comes in another color besides green. I look horrid in green.

I should just bite the bullet and get a full sized DSLR. But, no matter wht kind of camera you have, you also need to have the eye for a good photo and you certainly do!

I like Eric's shirt, but maybe it's different in person.

heya all
i have just started listening to Common Rotation and im like where have i been this band roks! cud any one tell me about all the other albums they have out??

Happy listening! And of course I'd recommend the lot! - but Clear Channel first :D awwww Oklahoma. *sniffle* retired Oklahoma?

...and if you are in London on Thursday (tomorrow!) I've still got a spare ticket going for free that needs a good home

You still have that ticket? You need to yell louder and wave your arms more.





Have fun

Hey there,

I was at C8 in MK. I only went to the party to see what CoRo were like, though I wasn't a fan of Adams charactor in Buffy ducks rotten apples. I was, however very impressed with the group, and Adams & Erics vocals. I got their CD that night and loved it. The guys are lovely (as you all know) and I got Erics CD the next day at the signings.

Will be at the gig on Thursday. I could be the oldest, new fan (at 13 yrs older than Eric! LOL!), but please don't hold that against me. Looking foward to the gig.

A.J aka Just4Bri (non closet Queer as Folk fan)

Common Rotation appeals to all ages. Folk knows no bounds. An independent free spirit can live at any time and in anyone.

Huh, did I just say that?

If you were impressed with the group at Milton Keynes you are in for a right royal treat at the Troubadour: )

I look forward to seeing you at the gig as to the age thing CoRo fans bridge many, many age groups, musical taste knows no barriers and all that: )

Hey there,

Thanks for the great welcome:) I must addmit, I'd just managed to get close to the front at MK, when they decided to move for the last song:( LOL, tipical really

Will look forward to meeting you guys at the gig (I'll be the one looking at ppl and wondering if they're from this forum lol ), as well as hearing CoRo at a better venue. I've been playing the CD's on my lappy and walkman since I got them!:D

Can't wait!

A.J aka Just4Bri

Maybe you can all print and wear the forum logo. That should id you to another board poster.

Well I guess that I'll not be too hard to spot. Just look for the other guy (not Matt!) wearing a green 'Union Maid' t-shirt.

If anyone wants to say "hi" please don't worry about disturbing me if I'm chatting to someone else, we're all pretty easy going and love to meet new faces. Don't be shy - we don't bite

BTW If you think you're the oldest fan you might have to think again. My Mum loves the CD's and if she could travel then she'd be there at the Trouby. Next year she hits 80!

See ya' tomorrow!

Geoff.

I'm probably not that hard to recognise either NOW, eh Mister photographer?! :P

3 minutes left until today becomes Thursday! Has this week dragged or what?!

No, they haven't announced any dates for any future UK shows yet -- give 'em time: they've only just got back! But speaking from past experience, it'll be AT LEAST 6 months before they'll be back here again.

Yea i know im jsut sooo excited i cant wait then till next year!!

well... it's been the first week of October for the third year in a row, maybe we can pray for april ?

Just let the guys announce it in their own time, and appreciate what we've just already had. we've been very lucky to have had 3 such amazing dates over here

I'm thankfull for every gig they play no matter if I can attend the gig in person or have to watch a webcast and I appreaciate every single tune! I just really hope that they'll be back in the UK next year, and I know that I can't take it for granted that they do these trips.

Hear hear. Whenever and however they can make it over is fine for me

Of course, if they announce early, I can attempt to be there.

For those of you who don't read every thread, I thought I post this update in the appropriate thread.
