Hello, Thrilled that they're going down a storm on this jaunt: it was never going to be in doubt, was it? Equally thrilled to have gotten tickets to the second night at The Roundhouse in May...looking forward, big-time! Cheers, Simon.

Hi Mike and All, I was lucky enough to see Dave's show in Leeds on Sunday. Ten years ago I saw him and his band play one of the finest shows that I've seen, so no pressure then DB, hah-hah! In the event, after a slightly slow start due partly to the 'wtf' nature of the stage and the band (no speakers, wires, amps or lights) as the audience adjusted and got into things. A

Hello, I was at their first-night Manchester show last Friday...here are my ramblings, hah-hah!

In the event, touts had no spare 'uprights' going, and the cheapest seat that they had was half-way back in the upper tier for £40. F**k that! If this

Bonsoir mes IORRians, Sorry that I haven't updated this earlier but it's been full-on this last few days. To cut a long story short, I failed in the attempt. The best I could manage was eight ascents, and we were not allowed to ride on The Alpe between 2100 and 0630 because workmen are putting out so many barriers down the mountain! This was a first: no-one knew about it until the da
