Grown-up gig bookings for 2007

Normally by this time I have a few dozen grown-up gigs already lined up for the year ahead. But so far, apart from half a dozen Royal Opera House bookings, I’ve only booked two shows – Jim Moray in Grantham, a small East Midlands country town which happened to be the birthplace of dear old Margaret Thatcher, and The Fall, in Hove, adjacent to Brighton on the south coast.

The two rockpop bookings are repeats of 2006 gigs which were outstanding. They’re also priced well below the prevailing level of poprock tickets, which are becoming excessive.
