More popular than they obviously are? Well, as a venue manager I can be pretty confident of a sellout if I book them. And there are a lot of venues around the country who would say the same. And there are not a lot of folk artists that I could say that about, to be honest.

The tickets for the RAH gig are not cheap - around £25 each. And you have to travel to London. And if you're making a weekend of it, as we are, it is a bit of a dear do. But I have no doubt there will be sufficient fans of all Watersons and Carthys to ensure it's a very successful event.

As I said earlier on another thread, the gig is over 2 months away. From the information available it looks like the tickets are selling really well. If I wanted to see this show and hadn't got my tickets yet, I'd get my finger out.
