November goes silly!
November always seems to be crazy for gigs, but this year, it’s just getting silly. My diary is getting full, and it’s only March!
First, the Marillion tour:
- Saturday 8th November Inverness
- Sunday 9th November Glasgow
- Monday 10th November Newcastle
- Tuesday 11th November Bristol
- Thursday 13th November Leeds
- Friday 14th November Manchester
- Saturday 15th November Bournemouth
- Monday 17th November TBC - UK
- Tuesday 18th November Nottingham
- Wednesday 19th November London Forum
Then Fish, supported on many dates by none other than The Reasoning
- Tuesday 11th - Runcorn, Brindley Theatre - support Stone Soul River
- Wednesday 12th - South Shields, Custom House - support SSR
- Friday 14th - Penzance, Acorn Studio - no support
- Saturday 15th - Frome, Cheese and Grain - support The Reasoning
- Sunday 16th - London, Shepherds Bush Empire - support The Reasoning
- Tuesday 18th - Bolton, Albert Halls - support The Reasoning
- Wednesday 19th - Pontadarwe, Arts Centre - support The Reasoning
- Thursday 20th - Norwich, The Waterfront - support SSR
- Saturday 22nd - Glasgow, Academy - support The Reasoning
- Sunday 23rd - York, Opera House - support The Reasoning
- Tuesday 25th - Telford, Oakengates Theatre - support SSR
- Wednesday 26th - Buxton, Opera House - support SSR
I’m going to have to think long and hard about which ones to go for in this lot. I’ve already got Mostly Autumn at York on the 28th Nov (Seat B14 booked!). Marillion at Manchester is pretty much a definite, but which Fish/The Reasoning one to go for is still an open question. Bolton is the closest, London would have been a definite had it not been straight after Marillion in Manchester. York GOH might be fun (Security will be confiscating bows and arrows at the door at that one!)
Decisions, decisions….

I’ll probably be at the Manchester Marillion concert, but I’ll have to hear the new album before I book a ticket - if it’s anything like ‘Somewhere Else’ and if the set is to be heavily based on the two most recent albums, I won’t bother going.
I hadn’t realised The Reasoning were supporting Fish - Bolton seems doable.

I was decidedly lukewarm about “Somewhere Else”, but thought the two gigs last year were the best I’ve ever seen them since Fish left.

You sound like us some years.
Currently, we only have four Railroad Earth dates through the end of the month. After that, it’s light for us for a change.
