I have 2 tickets to the concert tomorrow night in Leicester, for me and a friend. Today, she texted me to say that she's ill, and may not be able to go. We're still hoping she can, but it's not guaranteed, I won't know until tomorrow.

IF she can't go, does anyone want her ticket?

  • I live in Leics, shame I don't know who Frank Turner is... Sounds like a Radio 4 presenter...

    If you don't know, go anyway, he's ace. Though there's a fair chance you'll feel like you've accidentally walked into a cult. Folk music - beards and sandals = ace

    To be fair that'd be quite bad even without the folk music.

    Northwave, probably not the best video to show to someone who's never heard of Frank :p

    Best. Gig. EVER.

    Also, I got the setlist:

    Suck on that bitches. There are a couple of differences between what's on the setlist and what was actually played

    Thunder Road, awesome :lol: Stoology? Casanova Lament would be cool, not heard that for ages. Nah, I dunno, I've seen better. Starting with Prufrock just about took the roof off the little tent at Reading frinstance.

    Casanova Lament wasn't played, it was replaced with Rock and Roll Romance. Photosynthesis as the last song was just insane...

    Stoology is the piss taking name for Eulogy. ;)

    I'm a huge fan of Frank, but going to Glasgow for a gig is a bit far even for me. ;)
