Subject: Grimethorpe World Tour High Wycombe!


I've just found out from my local paper that they are playing at the Swan
Theatre HW in a couple of weeks. I tried to get tickets for a group of 13
from
our band and found that there were less than 10 tickets remaining with a
full
view. We have got groups of 2 & 3 with restricted view. How can this be?
I blame the film industry. The audience can't be real Brass Band Anoraks,
not
1000 of them. Brassed Off has a lot to answer for.

Absolutely Gerry!  It's a disgrace.  Who do these general public people
think they are, taking up all the seats which should be reserved for, er,
people like us??!!   There is a serious danger that, if not nipped in the
bud, brass bands might become  - *tremble* - popular.   By the way, thanks
for getting me a ticket!

If you're interested, on the same weekend there's a little shindig going on
at the RAM in London.  Fortunately it includes things like modern music and
pieces which are longer than five minutes , so there should be plenty of
seats spare!

See you at rehearsal!

Alec
