Venue Cymru Arena

nothing happening

No. 2 is a killer, if true.

It is true Sir!   (In fact, everything I say is true)
It was admitted to Dave and I, by VC management, when we had a meeting with them.

Also, I asked Status Quo and Motorhead, who both said the acoustics were far from ideal, and would rather perform elsewhere.  Quo do return, but only to the smaller theatre.

Status Quo no longer return as they only do larger arena shows now than smaller venue larger tours.

The acoustics aren't great though

[Fester]

Born to Run,   You are mistaken Sir!

Quo chose to perform in the smaller VC Theatre last time, because of dwindling ticket sales, but primarily because they did not like the acoustics in the Arena.    This is from the mouth of Francis Rossi himself.

Check out the recent Quo tour dates.... many smaller venues listed these days.

Fester you are mistaken my good man

Quo chose to play in the Theater for again after the arena not just because of the acoustics but because of the facilities and complaints from the crowd. (If you normally go to the theater the viewing at the arena anything more than about 10 rows back is awful)

Nothing to do with dwindling sales as Quo sold out 2 nights at the theater instead of one at the arena - which I believe is more tickets than one night at the arena!!

But Quo no longer even play at the theater because like I said they are playing bigger shows such as the O2 and Liverpool arena.

Nope, I'm not conceding this.... take a look at the 2013 tour here... http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/Status-Quo-tickets/artist/747939#artist_table_focus

A mixed bag of large and small venues.   Scarborough??  Crewe?  Falkirk?

You are just as poor at research as you are at darts and quizzes old chap, 

[born2run]

 

Falkirk STADIUM

Scarborough OPEN AIR theater

Both will hold a LOT more than the theater

[born2run]

The Crewe show is also open air

I do research for a living Festario, whilst you sit around playing quizzes!

[Fester]

How dare you!
I do much more than that, I also sit around playing internet darts, playing 'Angry Birds' and eating junk food  I will have you know.

Remember also, I am a shareholder in your company, which means YOU work, so that I don't have to!

(Apologies to Dave R for stealing his favourite phrase)

Actually the plans for our new 20 million pound building have been approved. It'll be on the patch of grass next to the crem in Llanrhos.
Also they are hoping to strike a deal with CCBC to use our car park as a park and ride into Llandudno, I guess that's forum news in a way? Though I'm not sure what category it would be posted under. I'm not sure a park and ride will be that useful for Llandudno what do you think Fester?

Another reason for the switch to arenas could be that the original line up reformed.

[born2run]

They abandoned the theater before the frantic four got back together and they have now disbanded and go back to the line up before that

Are the Quo still playing the same song over and over again? Never was a fan!  WWW

Sadly not because their new song is awful! literally one of the worst things I've ever heard by anyone 

Status Quo - Bula Bula Quo

and I'm a fan who's seen them live about 15 times

[Tosh]

Apparently it is not really the same song, the words are different, but the chords are the same just in a slightly different order.
As Eric Morecombe said " listen sunshine, I AM playing the right notes but not not necesssarily in the right order".
bum bum.

If you think that's bad, wait until you see the movie!
