Belgium? Holland?

Probably just before or after the UK/Irish dates I would imagine.

The tour is rumoured to end May 12th.

Theres enough space in that schedule for a 2nd London date, although personally I cant imagine Bob being able to fill the 02 two nights in a row.

Theres also an intriguing little gap of 2 days off between Glasgow and Dublin which I like the look of!

isle of wight is right between those two locales, i believe. very far to row for you?

I think you mean the Isle of Man.

And I was thinking of somewhere closer to home where youve spent many an evening propping up a bar...

i think you're getting your Wight's mixed up with your Man's

..Gazza beat me to the punch.

i thought no man was an island...i was wrong.

taking turns propping while the other was racing to the loo, you mean....as you told me, once the faucet is turned on, it never really can be shut off....

I believe the terminology is to "break the seal"...

you brits have a nice saying for all the important bodily functions...

Well, we dont avoid the subject.

I've never understood the point of this bizarre Americanism "going to the bathroom". Even when its a public toilet. Personally, I've never pissed in a bath in my life.

excellent point. and at the risk of derailing this thread permanently, i was advised by a wise irish publican on the occasion of my first sojourn there that it is improper to "take a shit;" rather one should "leave one."

New one on me. We tend to "have" them.

yeah, I think "leaving" one, in any dialect, implies poor hygiene. Or inadequate plumbing.

..or at best a tendency to be a very messy litter lout.

that 3 night stand in Amsterdam, looks tasty

There's another Dublin date on 5/6. Hoping for Eastern Europe...Berlin is not far though.

Now it looks like a proper European Tour, even though Finland is missing... well, Ryanair makes every place close to home... a time to taste some real ale again, I guess.

Yeap, hope so too...I am sure those are not all 2009 dates, bute there will be a US tour quite likely too, so we will see...

South of France and Spain and Portugal are also missing.
Next show is over 800 km from my home though it is in my country. Hope for some more gig nearer to my home !

Or as they say up in Canada, 'to go logging'!

Considering that this year there were about 10 concerts in Spain alone, plus some others in Portugal and in the south of France it is hardly surprising he leaves those regions out this time around. However, there is still the statement "more dates will be announced". I think there might also be another one in the west of Germany (Cologne/Düsseldorf/Bonn) because this region is left out again.

Personally I'm happy with the dates so far. At least two concerts are very near for me.

Extra Dublin show, same venue, on May 6th

...and Edinburgh Playhouse (theatre) now added

Was told at lunchtime that Edinburgh is already on sale. Didnt see it on TM, but you may wish to check the box office

are you sorted for the 2nd Dublin date, Gazza?

Its not on sale yet. Theres no on sale date listed.

First show goes on (public) sale Monday.

ah right, mistakenly thought sales were today, with the UK shows.
At least you've got a 2 night stand, to look forward to.

er yes...so much for my original credit crunching plans to go down for that one show and come back the same night....

Got my tix for glasgow. Shit venue but its basically in my back yard (10 minute walk). Would have preferred Edinburgh, but I let my brother book em and he plumped for the Glasgow show.

Gazza - which shows are you taking in?

Probably just Dublin x 2.

Waiting on Bruce shows being announced imminently as well, so not exactly the best time of year for all this!
