Mon 2nd March - Norwich Waterfront
with Polar Bear Club and Frank Turner

Wed 4th March...Dublin Academy

Yes!

So Polar Bear Club are coming over lets get some more dates damn it!

There be more now! Hopefully my new timetable will allow me to go to the Portsmouth show as then I could have a long weekend back home with my mates and then hit a good gig. I will defiantly be at the Bristol date though.

February:

2nd Portsmouth @ Wedgewood Rooms

3rd Birmingham @ Academy

4th Manchester @ Academy 2

5th Bristol @ Academy 2

6th Brighton @ Concorde

8th London @ Shepherds Bush Empire (NME Awards Show)



March:

2nd Norwich @ Waterfront

3rd Nottingham @ Rock City

4th Dublin @ The Academy

Aaargh, bum, arse! 2 Manchester shows in three months, and not so much as a toe dipped into Leeds, Newcastle, York ... cities full of great venues, mad crowds and - lest we forget - many, many Frank Turner fans!

Please find a show in the north-east: Leeds Academy, Newcastle Academy, The Duchess in York, Fibbers, the Head of Steam in Newcastle, the list goes on.

I'm stuff trying to do one of the other God-forsaken venues in the middle of the week.

Doh!

There won't be any other England dates added for this tour, make the travel to Manchester! it's not that far!

You have it easy just getting to Manchester from any of those places. I have to travel for 4 hours there 6 hours back to see them in London.

I don't really have it easy at all. Considering hardly any bands actually play near me, EVERY gig I go to has a travel time of 2 hours min!

Eeek. Not good. Porstmouth and Southampton are starting to get some really good gigs as well now I have left. Ruddy typical.

I'll be doing Birmingham & Manchester...maybe London...however I've just checked the train prices to London and it would be cheaper to fly over to Dublin for the last show...which has got me thinking

I'm Just Gonna do the Birmingham date, watching them 5 times in 6 months is adequate I think...then again...ya never know.

I'm gonna hit the Birmingham show. It'll be my first time seeing them, can't wait.

Actually think we're gonna go Brum then Manchester, keep up the manchester run going. Manchester is pretty easy to do and a room ain't expensive.

I figured I can do all the UK Feb dates for a little over £200. However, having no job is a bit of a hinderance. Got tickets for Portsmouth though, and hoping to get to the London show.

Assuming you're Eddy, you should definately get to the London show!

I'm trying for brighton, nottingham and london. Any of the others are too far to travel mid-week with work and stuff. That will bring me to 7 times in 6 months, not too shabby.

Not too bad at all. I was considering Nottingham again, but not with the driving!
I may see what Uni's have open days and how I can make them co-inside!

maybe ill skip nottingham then, i'd end up getting lost again without you to follow lol

7 times bloody hell fair play mate. I tohught I was doing well seeing them 3 times.

I will be hitting Portsmouth show which means I get a nice long weekend home. Then hit the Bristol show which I already have tickets for.

I am indeed Eddy!
As long as tickets don't sell out before Christmas I'm pretty certain I'll be going! If I can manage to get a full time job soon I'll be at all the Feb ones, I love all 3 bands.

My geographical knowledge is awful, i have no idea where those 2 are, i live near luton.. i dont know how far they are from me or i'd go lol

Portsmouth is at the very bottom of UK and Bristol is just below Wales!

Portsmouth is about 2 hours south of London. Right on the coast so quite a way from Luton that gonna be 3 and a bit hours drive maybe.

Bristol is further west just before you get into the west country proper. Almost directly up from Bournemouth under wales.

EDIT: Balls to you Kieran

lol thanks to both of you, yea i just AA'd it and its 2 hours + to both of them so thats a definate no on a work night. thinking of getting the train to the birmingham show though, as thats only about an hour journey for me.

I might head to the Brum show too, what day is it. B'ham can't be as bad to drive to as Notts!
