I went to see them a year or two ago I got given the tickets by fairyfly because she was unable to make it. They were fab.

Oh how I wish I was.......

Don't suppose they are doing an Australian leg are they??

filthymindedSixSixSixen · 29/10/2008 09:51

oh I loved them in my 20s
I used to dance madly to them.
Prefer the Levellers though.

oooh, am jealous!!!

BATtillaTheSEVEREDHanD · 29/10/2008 21:55

I am soooo unbelievably jealous its not true.... They were my first major obsession as a teenager. There are no dates planned up here though I don't think.

I hope you have a good time but wish I was there...

Blinkin' 'eck, is it realy 20 years since 8 legged groove machine?

I saw them a couple of year ago & they were briliant. God I loved them as a teen and frankly, I still fancy Miles Hunt a little bit TBH
Is that shameful?

I went to see their "last Ever" festival appearance with DH (our first time away). Even bought my brother an "idiot under construction" T - Shirt. He is 32 now and still wears it .

I think it ranks as my all time favorite festival: The Fall, PWEI, Carter, The Inspirals and The WonderStuff

janeite · 29/10/2008 22:12

Blimey, are they still touring? I saw them years ago; my favourite was always "Piece Of Sky". I like Carter USM better though!

Have a great time; am very jealous.

JODIEhadababy · 29/10/2008 22:13

Oh I still find Miles Hunt sexy too!!! I'm really excited (can you tell) I've been listening to all their albums for about a month now!!!! I always feel like a teenager when I go and see them, the great thing is, everyone there is of a 'certain age' so you don't end up feeling like a twat!

(Was their 'last ever' festival the Pheonix Festival?)

Yeh it was Phoenix

thegreatscooscreamy · 30/10/2008 08:21

OOOH, I am .I loved them when I was small..they were the first band I liked...I was looking at Hup on CD a few weeks ago in HMV(lost all my CD's when moved out of home)They were charging £22 for it!

JODIEhadababy · 30/10/2008 08:47

£22 for Hup! Wow!

I think Miles was my first crush when I was about 11 (him, Kurt Cobain and Evan Dando!)

At the first 'comeback' gig they did, about 5-6 years ago, Miles came on stage and the first thing he said, was, f**k me, when did we all get old and fat!!! He's an amazing front man, if not a tiny bit egotistical!

If anyone is interested, They were amazing, as always. Miles his usual self..

Supported by none other than Jesus Jones, what a blast from the past.

And today I got tickets for Take That, any one would think I hanker after my eenage years abit too much!

'It's yer money I'm after, baby' was a classic.
