hi marian,
no i could not get there i was too late getting into southampton. il try and get to birmingham.

a friend of mine was very dissapointed at cheltenham and she is a jj fan aparently it was a strange line up of musicians and the songs were not jacks usual taste hes at it again!!!! haha

[Mark Fox]

Last time we met was in Birmingham,Mark-did you get there for JJ?

[Marian]

Just a word about Cheltenham, apparently the accoustics were very bad there and Jack was unhappy with the sound.
Several people last night mentioned that about the Cheltenham concert last night.
What a lovely venue last night though, the Symphony Hall in Birmingham is a gorgeous place with fantastic accoustics.
It was our first visit, but not the last I'm sure!
More to follow about last night's concert on the other JJ thread later.

hello,
i couldnt get to birmingham Mark, ive got a virus so staying at home to get fit for work im in Knaresborough tommorrow then ive got a cruise on thursday.

Marian, i know the sound is pretty bad at cheltenham ive worked there many times, its not really made for amplified music as it was designed for speeches etc, i did tell JJs drummer Kendall to expect trouble when i chatted with him on facebook !!! pity really.
glad you enjoyed Birmingham though a nice venue .
