Um....well, it's not a department I concern myself with much, so I genuinely don't know. I think somebody found this out a few weeks ago?

As the tour is sold out (except Sheffield and Dublin) I would not gamble too heavily on a big name.

Personnally I think for the price we are paying for a ticket there should be a fairly big established band on as support,Out of all the reunion gigs the best ones were when you had The Dropkicks or The Saw Doctors on with you as they got the place warmed up nicely rather than the no name acts you have had of late who nobody is interested in.

Nobody is interested or everybody's still in the pub?

Probably a bit of both Phillip to be honest but they probably wouldn't be for a bigger name act as proven in early years.

FYI, Titus Andronicus is the support for the American tour. Indie band, fairly good. Their latest album is loosly based on the American Civil War.

My information was mistaken. Sparrow and the W'shop open all shows except Dec 22, which is still The Crowns.

Strangely there was much email about this yesterday. Turns out it's not "The Crowns" but is, in fact, "Crowns." Make sure you hit the right one if you go Googling.
