Hi, i dont mean to be rude, or nasty, but is anyone getting p****ed off with all these cancellations?!?! I know i certainly was/am.....And jules...on a previous thread you mentioned that as it was www.bobgeldof.info surely it should say why they are cancelled. I agree.......why doent it say? weirdface.gif   We spent time and effort on these organisations, and some of us have waited a long time just for this one day. I am totally disappoined with all this, and not just for me, for everyone who was let down. grrrrr. i seems a little odd to me.  I thought it was meant to be a tour. was there even enough giggs held for it to be called a tour?!!?weirdface.gif  Sorry about that rant, and i know that you guys and tina and ian etc had nothing to do with it, i just had to express my opinions!What do all you guys think!?    luv Mouse x
ADMIN: Moved mouse's comment in here as it was more apt than being in a thread on it's own.

Bobs got Flu? Was that at Hull last night? I hope that he doesn't suddenly go downhill and have to cancel tonights gig at Gateshead. I have to travel soonish and I dont want to go all that way and back again, as its a longway from Leeds To Gateshead and back for no reason.

Occasionally, shame he doesn't contribute as much these days.  

To be fair, they do give a bit more notice of cancellations, they are a bit rarer,  and the venues are more in keeping with Geldof's stature as a solo artist than they were ten years ago.   Geldof has played to some sparse audiences in recent times, so he hasn't cancelled just because the sales were moderate. The only time I ever saw the solo show it was as good as sold out and was really rally good.  You know, you were there!  (as was Ian)

Ultimately if people aren't buying the tickets then there is little point in having the concert.   I suspect it costs Geldof to play solo gigs.  He probably doesn't mind too much if there are at least a couple of hundred there, but when it's just double figures there isn't going to be much of an atmosphere.

 I am glad the internet wasn't around in the late 1970s.  I have written enough cr@p in the last ten years or so without having to worry about my youth.   Thankfully that wasn't recorded.

I dread to think what I'd have been writing.

Bob never cancels gigs himself. It's promoters or venues. He just goes ahead no matter w
What.

Not in a car park and he was having a 'hissy fit'as you put it. Sort of an exception.

I recall that you did, although my memory is unreliable. It would've been on the original Milan thread.

 It was about ex-forum members rather than Geldof.

Did you find it, ArrGee? I thought it was about the photos of Bob and it appeared he'd been crying. But time affects memory!! Badly!! .
