if so what was the "surprise"? cos they said about it at their last london show and i never went to this one.

...I was in Hertford seeing the best Damned gig of my life. they were on fire that night - truly something to behold. Sadly the tour's over, but catch 'em when they're next out and about, folks - you won't be disappointed.

absolutly nothing that i saw, a lot of people had the new album so unless it was that they had some of them for sale pre release date i have no idea what they were talking about at the forum show

I was at the 11th too and guessed the suprise they were on about was probably the pre-release sale of anthem.
