Re: 2010 tour
Well unless they add some more dates that include anywhere north of Bathgate and South of all of the dates in the north then it doesn't look like I'll be going to any! Does Central Scotland not exist anymore? I personally think the areas of the country could have been a bit more evenly catered for.

Re: 2010 tour

To be fair though Kathleen,how often do these wee places get the guys there?Not much, I mean last time they toured Oban was An Evening With,same with Drumnadrochit etc. Plus there's a few tours where the central belt got covered quite well. Personally, I think the dates are alrite...

I'm definetly doing Ullapool(depending how long it takes,or then again I might just stay at mums the night before haha cos then its only 2 and a bit hours),Portree if Citylink get the timetable up on their site,Oban cos thats easy enough on the bus,maybe Greenock(well ive never even BEEN to greenock so wh not lol!),Banff if anyone is going to that cos its 80 quid a room,definetly elgin and definetly drumnadrochit. Langholm - not a clue where that even is lol,Arran maybe if anyone else goes,Bathgate is a bit too far,Dumfries maybe,Strontian I dunno where that is...

Re: 2010 tour
I wasn't saying they shouldn't do all these wee places again, but I just felt they could have had at least some in the central belt. I mean, the closest one to me would be Bathgate for example, and that's still a helluva trip to make. Matthew would love to go but there's no way I could take him, especially during the week, and it's probably the same for a lot of people who want to take kids. I was thinking there's going to be a lot of people who would love to go and support the guys but who won't be able to. Logistically it just didn't make much sense to me to only concentrate on one area of the country. I understand that may be due to other committments and all but I guess I'm just a bit disappointed. If they don't add any extra dates this will be the first tour that I and Matthew haven't been to.

Re: 2010 tour

Maybe it was just cheaper to hire the places they're doing this year. To be honest,unless any of them sell out, I cant see them adding more,as it probably wouldnt be worth it,plus its a hell of a travel time for them.Like Langholm to Oban,thats the other end of Scotland practically.I can understand how some of them are laid out,like logistically it works and saves time for them and whoevers coming on tour with them this year.Or maybe they couldnt get any decent sized places the time of year they wanted.

You could always email them,click on contact and Margaret who works for MacDonald Bros Music will answer you,she did when I emailed about Skye.

Re: 2010 tour
Yeah will do. I've noticed Bathgate is a Friday night so if I'm going to get to one it would be that. I'm doubting it though. We'll just have to wait and see. Any news on when tickets go on sale?

OMG So can't wait! Can't believe they're coming back to Banff, it's my home town!! :D I went to both their gigs here last time, even though the matinee was aimed more for their younger fans I wasn't gonna miss out! LOL Gonna go to Elgin aswell cause it's only an hours drive away! Can't wait, haven't seen the boys since Alford in September!!
