Its breaking my heart they aren't coming to Cork.
Galway is just a bridge too far, enjoy it.

Cork would have been nice. I'm going to try to make it to Dublin, even though it's on in a hole.

I believe they're revisiting towns they played on the George Best tour back in 1987. I was disappointed there was no Limerick show either as we were skipped last time too despite the Warehouse being wedged for his previous visit (as Cinerama).

That's only for the first week of the tour, around Scotland and England. The rest of the dates (around Europe) weren't part of the original tour, surprisingly.

Was onto the guy who books bands for Cypress Avenue and he told me


Obviously have to do Dublin & Belfast....and do 1 other date.
Band have to leave via Dublin so from a routing point of view it doesnt make sense to have a band drive from Belfast-Cork-Dublin, but more sense to do Belfast-Galway-Dublin as there is less travel involved.

Always liked the Wedding Present, because they were unconventional.
They once released a single a month hoping to chart 12 times in a year and came darn close to pulling off that feat!

Darn close?! They did chart (top 30) every month. They equaled Elvis Presley's record.
