I wouldnt mind going, but a tenner for a ticket seems a bit much for me for a new-ish band, even if Rick is well known.

Well, you're the one paying for the ticket if I bought one, technically...

I stand corrected: May 14th Birmingham Barfly Cool

On another note there's an interview on his web site where Rick states he was a guest at Clint Boon's wedding (Peter Hook was best man) and was asked to sing 'Chasing Rainbows' at the alter during the ceremony Shocked

Not an ideal choice I would have thought. Note to Ingster: I can pull a few strings and ask him to perform "This Day Was Ours' for you if you want!

That's a nice track and a nice shot of Brimham Rocks if I'm not mistaken. I do have a problem with the band name though......

A gig got cancelled last week by the Promoter. Can only guess that ticket sales were poor, it was sunny Warrington of all places too. I predict a swift and sad end to the Dukes if there Autumn single is not well received. Shame, as I like their stuff as much as anything that is out at the minute...
