Peter Barton

And some Rat blurb, which does say an album will be coming out in 2009 and the band will be performing a select number of UK festivals throughout 2008.

Don't know if they would be looking around but the Latitude festival http://www.latitudefestival.co.uk/news/ would be a good one.

It might put Pete in a tricky situation with Bob. But then maybe it might help heel a rift??? Ever hopeful...wink

I suppose if Johnny's auntie tell Pete to play with him then he will smile
However I guess the new members (a bassist and lead guitarist) wouldn't be too happy if Pete & Gerry turned up.  28 UK dates though, that's about 4 times more than Geldof managed last time out.

http://www.rockartistmanagement.com/tourdates.html

Peter Barton will be joining The Boomtown Rats for an extensive 28 date UK Tour. Along with two founding members Simon Crowe and Gary Roberts. All the classic Boomtown Rats hits including Rat Trap and I dont Like Mondays.
The tour will also feature Eddie and The Hot Rods.

"Garry has been extremely busy learning a new chord, and with luck, he will have finished learning it by the time he gets to Blackpool!"

That'll be the fourth then!  So three more than Geldof now.

Well it ain't sold out!  Fortunately my holidays are in late august, so I will be going once I can be bothered to apply for the tickets.  Just a little busy right now, but should be able to get my ticket soon enough.

Very true!   However, I'm looking forward to seeing the Rats sans Geldof.  I'd rather see Cott & Fingers there ahead of Geldof.  And given Gerry's performances on You Tube he's obviously still got it.  There was talk of Fingers coming on board, but I don't know if that will happen.

I just can't wait to see them at the 100 Club!  C'mon Fingers & Cott, get yerselves along there as well!  Ticket details above.

Hi Room
I went to the 100 Club to see The Rats. No longer allowed to use the name The Boomtown Rats because of a certain Sir Bob who used a legal objection.
The band were amazon and played a GREAT gig they ROCKED and it was back to hard core Rock Music as it should be played. I count myself very lucky to witness this great gig and over the years have attened 100s including early Pistol and U2 gigs well this stacked among them as an all time gig. Well done lads and i will be at some more next Year in and around London.
The band did not suffer in talent or energy and delivered well and yet again it proves that the Band is bigger and better than a singer who goes solo. The Rats should be proud. MORE PLEASE LADS.
P.S It was nice tosee that they had not forgotten the fans and spent time talking to us. CHEERS..............STEVEPUNKPOOL

Were not that busy here (Ireland, recession). So if 'The Rats' are interested we would love to see them on the old sod!
Maybe the celtic tiger could learn to 'Do the Rat!!!' Wouldn't do him any harm, if I can find him!!

nick
ps. you've been having too much fun in England!!!!! smile
