That's impressive. I thought the old Station Hotel was a posh eatery these days? I took a look at the tribute band's website and to my untrained ears they sound impressive. And for extra authenticity They're Londoners too! Tickets are only £17 too and they play for 3 hours (with breaks in between no doubt) A good night out for any IORRians in the London area. Are you going ?

Tony, I'd be astounded if they didn't play Angie down there. It's massively popular there, especially in Argentina. It's a real crowd pleaser and as others have said, it's likely to be crowd pleasers' tour. But for those travelling from elsewhere still well worth going as the audiences there are about the most excitable anywhere. I strongly considered Brazil as it

They certainly didn't leave her alone over the stuffed wolf episode. And they've reported on other Stones' family members plenty in the past, out of order as it most certainly is.

Bjornulf, Very glad to help you with some information about gigs for a change! As you said, Cardiff on July 11th was postponed due to Keith suffering a cut to his finger during the Hampden Park, Glasgow gig on the 9th. During his vocal slot he said to the crowd he thought he'd bust a finger but who gives a sh** and carried on playing as normal. However,it soon went septic and it was wide

Anyone going to the Wembley Arena gig in February ? I had a look on Friday but only far away seats left.I've never been to the venue so no idea what sight lines and sound are like there. Annoyingly as per recent trends, there was a lengthy presale limited to Customers of the Sponsors so not really a fair chance for everyone. And to PaulyWaul's delight for sure, there are many premi

Scotland surpassed all expectations with their performance today. Robbed of a famous and heroic win by a bad referee call at the very end with no time to react. Sooo gutted. The ref ran away at the final whistle which speaks volumes. It's tough being a Scot at times.... . And true to form, we blew it with the other shape of ball last week. I hope someone, somewhere invents a sport we can

Gutted. just gutted. And I thought dodgy refs were confined to football. After a last minute dodgy call which handed the match to Australia, the referee sprints off the field without shaking the hand of sny player. He's supposed to consult the video ref where there is doubt. He did not do so. Nice sportsmanship

Olly, Hospital accident and emergency departments in the Glasgow area are normally absolute carnage on match days between the pair. The violence often takes place in pubs and people's homes and not necessarily in the stadium and around. There's also a big spike in domestic violence after matches.

It was indeed Robin Le Mesurier. He's the son of actors John Le Mesurier and Hattie Jacques, deceased in 1983 and 1980 respectively. 'Young' Robin is now 62, which is a shock to we Brits who grew up with his parents' work - Dad's Army and the Carry On films. Oooooh Matron !

Some great videos of this popping up on YouTube. Sounds like a great night. From what I can see, there's a real relaxed freedom about Ronnie's playing when he's in his own original band, playing songs he co-wrote. Rod too seems to be enjoying himself as a front man of a band rather than a soloist too. Glad all IORRians present enjoyed it, including a good few I was introduced to
