Bobness of this fair parish and myself have made a bit of a cock-up on the gig front and purchased tickets for both Laura Veirs and John Grant next Tuesday. Sadly they are not sharing the same stage so something’s got to give and as we’ve seen LV probably a dozen times in the past, we’ve plumped for Mr Grant.
Therefore if anyone (or two) fancy a cracking evening of alternative folk/Americana please get in touch and I’m sure we can do you a deal.
Ta.
I can’t leave this thread with no responses…
We did our best tout impressions and managed to sell them for £20 the pair. Which is £20 more than we thought we’d get, being frank. Laura got her full value, 2 young lads got in the gig cheap, I got £20, job’s a dream.
I then worked out that the John Grant tickets were expensive enough that I owed the legend that is Smudger £15 when the dust settled. Having bought a “Smug C…, erm, Person” mug at said gig, I found myself £2 down on the evening overall.
Happy as Larry though, John Grant was absolutely brilliant.
I’m 100% positive Laura was too.
One of the chaps we sold the tickets too said that she is “Big in Australia”? Anyone confirm that?
