Will do Ralphie! I'm personally looking forward to seeing John's band in action, as I haven't seen him in this line-up before - haven't failed to like the various combos he's been in (including Patterson Jordan and Dipper, _of course_! )

At this time tickets are still available - ring the box office tomorrow before 3 pm, and, who knows, you might get to speak to me (or not!) wearing my Electric Theatre box office assistant hat ....(or, _big hint_, wearing my Electric Voices helper hat, contact Lawrence Heath to buy tickets direct on the link in the first message on this thread for a very good deal)

Irene.
As a one time pensioner member of the JDB, I would thoroughly reccommend this gig!!
My advice, Grab 'em now before they become too expensive!!
(Oh! and a shake of the hand to that Heath bloke....Real men don't do hugs!)
Have Fun Ralphie

Shake of the hand to the Heath bloke definitely in the bag sir!!
Recommendation probably not needed for me - I'm already persuaded and looking forward to it .......

PS The box office for the Electric Theatre is open AFTER 3 pm ... that's just the time my shift finishes. Wouldn't want to put anyone off from trying to get a ticket. Sorry....normal service can now be resumed.....
