I have just got off the phone from speaking with Keith at Brandywine Music. Just wanted to apologise if I gave any wrong impressions on my first post regarding tickets. That certainly wasn't my intention.

Amazing response from Keith who assured me that purchasing through 'WeGotTickets', seats are in fact allocated as people buy on a best seats first basis.

He has asked me to let everyone know that if you purchased through 'WeGotTickets', they are happy to send your tickets through the post to avoid queuing on the night.

Write to:-

Brandywine Music
P.O. Box 474
Sevenoaks

Enclose an SAE and copy of your receipt/e-mail from 'WeGotTickets' and they will pop them in the post to you.

Thanks again Keith for being so helpful,...Top bloke!!

I have tickets for Rochester - anybody else on here going who has not stated so! - Anybody also know how many it holds as acoustics are going to be mind blowing in a Cathedral - especially as one as old as this!

The seating capacity is in the order of 750. I am guessing that we will not get to that, and so the seating plan will be rows of chairs, approx eight wide, one rank on the left, one rank on the right, for however many rows we need - just like a typical Cathedral layout (all facing the front). IF we need to fill out sideways, we have blocks of seating to the right and left of the alter (Stage).

Despite being brought up in the Medway towns I only ever visited Rochester cathedral twice once for a wedding and once for a funeral my brother conducted. Both times I was overawed by the occasion rather than the surroundings :unsure:
Some of my family have connections with the cathedral now and in the past.

hope gig really went off fantastically as l am sure it did. writing this as it happens and l am there in mind, only 5 miles away. will wait for my copy of cd and await gig report from Stella and co. Hopefully well attended, and not too warm. Would like to see pics from this gig Steve, and hopefully your impressions of the venue if at all poss.And the original version of MMS now outweighs all other faves that l had so much difficulty in choosing in the past.

Nice pictures Stella - Well done and quick to upload!

For those not there it was brilliant - sound quality to my ears fantastic - watch out for two versions of MMS - one that Steve played to CR and Producer @ Abbey Road late 1974 and the one that keeps his pension full to the brim!

This is what we heard if my memory serves me correctly:

1st half

Audience with the Man
My Only Vice
Sling It
Best Years of our Lives
Red, is a Mean, Mean Colour
Love Compared to You
Dino
The Last Time I saw You
Judy Teen
True Love will find you
Mr Raffles

Interval

2nd half

,
Make Me Smile (Version played to CR and Producer
All Men are Hungry
This Old Man
Stranger Goes to Town
The Lighthouse
Journeys End
Mr Soft
Friend for Life - 1st verse twice but SH not happy with sound so straight into ...
Sebastian

Encore

Tumbling Down
MMS - Pension Pot Filler Version
