You can add your views here in support of Bob, please do. Jules and I already have, though I am under a different name. Guess which one? Not hard. I mentioned the fact he played to 2000 last night in Austria. Does that not tell you there was something decidedly fishy about Milan? And I am not talking about haddock!

Bob always does well in festival settings. Tickets are usually cheaper, people are already on the premises and if they don't like they can usually see something else in the festival, so they are more willing to take a chance. Most of the time people stick around too.

Yeah festivals as a rule pull the crowds as there is usually a variety of acts that preform. I know some of the festivals here sell out before the acts are even announced! So I wouldn't use Austria as a gig to compare with Milan. I still stand by what I said before & blame the promoters...

Yes, you are both right of course, but it looks good to people not in the know.
