That's me out then, as I'll be in Australia.

Not to mention the cost to the poor sods who book planes trains hotels etc. Ach, I'm willing to chalk this one up to experience, as I really wanted to visit Ghent. And in all fairness it's not like anyone forced me to go to the gig. That said, it will be a real dilemma if they reschedule - just don...

Big shoutout to A Guy Named Simon for the reply! :notworthy: Could you outline that reply, please? ... :) ... He just posted „sounds alright“. Mr Simon Denbigh - retired from The March Violets due to health reasons, and former nurse to the Doktor, so he probably knows a thing or two about an all ri...

Email from the venue. A case of wait and see. We regret that the concert of The Sisters of Mercy in De Vooruit on January 25 was canceled due to the singer's illness. We would like to expressly thank you for your patience and sporty attitude. Since the situation only became clear very late, this was...

Sadly dead in the water. Cancelled about an hour after show time.

It's correct. No support for this gig.

Aye, but I was hoping they were merely being coy about some surprise guest.

Loaded my ticket into the Ticketmatic app.
Under info it says:

Doors 21:00
Sisters 21:45

If correct it looks like no support.

Hail to the boss!
Hope you gave a great day!

I expect the set to be identical to the vast majority of the recent autumn dates. No sandstorm, no surprises.

That would also be my prediction. Except for Ghent, where in lieu of the VirginMarys they will be performing The Reptile House in full prior to the main set.

Hope you have a good one, Andrew!

Thoroughly enjoyed that. A fitting end to a tour which, as we know, has not been without its problems. Cliche or not, it's true adversity brings out the best in some.

Due to travel issues I now have a spare eticket for tonight. Note: still says SWG3 / 22nd. AFAIK they didn't issue an update?
DM is interested.

get the feeling you might be in for a rambunctious old evening mate

I do hope so.

Eight years since they last played Glasgow.
Twenty years since they last played the Barrowlands.
Final night of the tour.

There's a weight of expectation here.
What could possibly go wrong?

Yep, absolutely top gig. Von in good voice, band in great spirits, and I'm so glad I got to hear the sax. Was convinced it would be a one off. Roll on Glasgow!

Happy Birthday, Victoria!

I'm just wondering what changed that made him so careless with his health again...I don't remember it being this bad in recent years :( :von: is clearly proud of the new songs and enjoys performing them. Perhaps he's simply overreached himself in his enthusiasm to get them out there, particularly a...

Starting to remind me of the last couple of years of Motorhead.

I now have a spare (physical) ticket for the Glasgow gig if your mate is still looking.

Already sorted, but thank you.

The only part of Belgium I've seen up until now is Brussels Airport. Been threatening a visit for a few years now, so decided to make good on it. Looks like a beautiful wee venue. And, all being good with Nottingham and Glasgow, this will be gig number 40. Oh, and I believe they brew some very good ...

Think it is already sold out now...

Glad I moved quick then!

I'm in.

Looks like we'll have to wait for news on this to break elsewhere...

Planet Dave wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 22:26 Agree with the shorter(ish) set, but a little surprised that it's But Genevieve that's been jettisoned,

Yeah, seems an odd choice. But as you say, what do we know?

Be interesting to see if they stick with the slightly shorter setlist tonight. A lot to be said for quality over quantity. And if it keeps the show on the road...
