He does a bit of English and Welsh, much the same as Gruff Rhys.

why couldn't aberdeen get james chance! that would've been amazing! hmmm, buggeration.

it's a shame it's all so expensive. i know they have to pay to get this caliber of artist over but £9 for 65 days and kling klang is quite expensive. maybe i'm just getting to be a skinflint in my old age.

I think you might be. It's harsh reality, I'm sure you have some idea how much it all costs and I still think £9 will represent good value for money. I paid £14 to go and see Seth Lakeman last weekend and while I'm not saying it wasn't worth it, it puts it in perspective I think.

Gigs should cost more. I equate it with going to Pitoddrie (which I don't anymore) and that will cost you £20+ for a pile of pish.

dunno dave

£9 for three high quality touring acts. comdined with the fact that 65dos have been 7/8 the last two times

i think it is a great price

65days playing to 20,000 in japan, sxsw, truck festival, europe etc don't sleep on floors anymore. their tour party of approx 10, sleep in comfort & that aint cheap for us. be thankful you are getting one more chance to see them in the intimacy of The Tunnels, the only Aberdeen venue that brings out their true live show as it should be seen....... & then there is kling klang & paper cut out..........

Gruff Rhys is a poor man's Euros Childs.

i'd rather see kling klang than 65 days. i'm thankful for that opportunity but couldn't care less how many people a band plays to in japan, it really doesn't reflect their audience in scotland or how much they should ask for as a guarantee in the uk(particularly not if they're uk based). i appreciate that perhaps each individual bill is priced to reflect the cost of the artists involved but i can only afford to go to one gig. i'd imagine many others are the same. it would be nice if there was some kind of deal on multiple tickets or some other promotion.

i wouldn't pay £9 to see any of those bands headline a gig. 65 days were fairly average in moshulu although they did suffer from terrible sound and kling klang and paper cut out are still relatively unknown. i'll probably go to this gig because i really want to see kling klang and paper cut out were cool last time i saw them(they played cellar 35 right?) but i still think that, although not an unreasonable amount, that £9 is a little on the pricier side of things for 3 small bands, in the tunnels.

some kind of roaming ticket would be nice where you could pop in and out of the venues where gigs overlap. thus catching the bits you want to see and avoiding the filler.

i probably am just getting tighter with my cash. i'm fed up being skint all the time and so have to say no to a lot of gigs these days in order to save for other things in life. meh.
