Evil Pixie, we have one spare, would you like it. I can email it to you?

That's very kind of you but Mrs Pixie managed to apply for tickets before they all went and I didn't get the text. If nobody else from the forum needs your spare I know a couple of people who would like it.

No problems Just let me know and I will forward on!! PM your email addy.

Confused... Did you guys sent tickets via email? After I applied, the "order confirmation" says:

FIRST COME FIRST SERVED YOUR TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY. ARRIVE EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.
DOORS OPEN: 6.15PM

EDIT: Oh I see, I got a PDF ticket through in an email now! So... what time are you guys queueing up? :}

Will probably aim to be there for 6pm to see what the queue is like. I know events like this will turn you away if they feel they're full.

I guess it's not a full gig or major warm up for the tour. Any ideas how many songs they wil do?

I'd guess somewhere between three and five. Although no idea really.

We saw Doves do something like this early last year, they did two songs.

We are all getting down 5pm at the latest!

The third artist on the bill is... Chipmunk!

My life is rather on the hectic side at the mo so I've decided to give this one a miss after all, given I'm going to Cambridge Junction the next day. Anyone want my 2 tickets? Let me know and I can email them to you.

Scrap that. Chipmunk is no longer performing. Just Elbow and The View.

Elbow will be recording seven songs tonight apparently. Good stuff.

Wow that's ace!! Thanks!

Seven!!

Where'd you hear that, out of interest?

Craig replied to a tweet I sent him saying they would get 50 mins (http://twitter.com/#!/CraigLPotter/status/42532818181554176), the 'seven' number came from a tweet from @loslungdenim (http://twitter.com/#!/loslungdenim/status/42527363057188864) who seems to work on the show.

Full details please!..... as soon as you get back from the gig!

Yes!! Have a great time folks.

Typical that I missed this...

Anyone got a spare (or even 2)?

ticker tape has got me all excited again

Home already

Setlist
The Birds
Lippy Lids
Neat Little Rows
Grounds For Divorce
Tower Crane Driver
Open Arms
One Day Like This

Bloody lovely! The boys looked great, the sound was heavy on the bass, sometimes hard to hear Garvey.
Perhaps a little nervous too, absolutely loved Open Arms, not quite sure about The Birds just yet.
I can't type because I'm hyperactive and quite possibly the happiest girl alive ;-)

Excellent! I'm so pleased you had a good time!

lippy lids you say? think I would be buzzing too!

those tracks are all off the current+forthcoming albums... which i guess is what you'd expect for the album chart show perhaps... but I wonder if it's an indication we'll be hearing mostly new(er) material on the upcoming tour? hmm!

me? I can't wait!

It was great. There was nothing tonight prior to TSSK though and - don't say it too loud - but there's nothing on 'barb!' that has really grabbed me yet.
