Hi Lyndon. You may have misinterpreted Steve's words, and we realise that that is quite understandable: it is a little ambiguous. But here's the deal: NO SH & CR CONCERTS WILL BE PERFORMED IN THE UK before (maybe not even after) Birmingham, November 24th.
This does not mean Steve can't play festivals, as these are not SH & CR concerts, but events featuring many other acts where Steve plays only one hour or so. The Bognor event is just that, a weekend festival where Steve will play a one-hour set. It is not a headline Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel concert.
There may even be some 3-man acoustic shows promoted, we don't know yet.
Tickets for Birmingham.....Steve did not say "within a week", nor did he mention 1,000 - the hall has 2,000 seats, and ALL tickets will go on sale at the same time. I have kept this website up-to-date as best I can, but to repeat, we are waiting for contrcats to be exchanged before tickets can be offered. Just keep checking here, and we will give 48 hours notice, so if you check in late, maybe a friend can text you, or email you. Keep in touch here and you will not miss out. Hope this helps clarify for everyone.
