DaveR im surprised at you wanting a local supplier,you should know CCBC don;t do simple or common sense,why give it to one of their ratepayers when they can give it to a big firm outside of the area.

I have just returned from the Box Office where all the songs from 'Grease the Musical' are being played throughout the foyer.

Didn't that finish last Saturday?

What was on in the Theater tonight? Whatever it was it was very popular, especially with old people, looked like something out of Cocoon from the view of my gym's window. Perhaps the management have accepted that this audience is their prime and perhaps only target and are not concentrating on attracting younger bands etc  :(

I will admit they have some top class comedians and i enjoyed Starlight Express,but there have been weeks when nothing is on at all and as for the empty Arena,no bands booked ,nothing too look forward too,i really think CCBCare trying to avoid useing the Arena for bands or just really are not trying.

Just passing on press information which I thought Wrex might find interesting. I thought he might welcome an early opportunity to buy tickets before they sell out, as my younger colleagues tell me this is a very popular band.

Tickets not on sale until Friday. I wouldn't be too surprised if they sell out on the first day.

Didn't manage to get tickets for this and nor I understand did most people. Website crashed and phone turned off then engaged! Half a dozen people queing outside managed to get tickets but hundreds turned away.
Apparently the majority of the tickets going to the fan club and apparently Tesco, bizzarley got to buy a massive quantity as well. Not many left for the theatre to sell.

However would not be suprised if a fair few went to "freinds of the cinema." Remember being quite suprised last year at the Manics gig to see a freind from work who doesn't particularly like the band - who said he had been given a free ticket, complete with backstage pass by a "freind who has somethign to do with the theatre" Wonder how often this happens ???

Scandalous, typical CCBC cockup.

Not heard of Mumford and Son's, but I am getting old so that is not surprising.

Mrs Fester has heard of them, and with contempt, ''EVERYONE has heard of them''

But thats not important. What is important is the disgusting and unfair way that the young people of this area are denied the opportunity to see this event at the fair and advertised price.
