Topic: Shepherds Bush London This Week

So, 'here we all are, sitting on a rainbow'.....sorry, a little Steve Marriott snuck in there....but the pot of gold is on Thursday at the Empire. (I know what you're thinking, MAD!! but the sun is shining, birds are singing, beers have been drunk....well, it is 6pm now, and I'm looking forward to the Best Gig Of The Year!!) So, who's going and who are you bringing with you for their introduction to JB?

Re: Shepherds Bush London This Week

Hey Michael, hope you are going to keep your promise and confirm that one of those tickets is for me. I'd be really gutted as a colleague from work in London is going on my recommendation and I can now make it to the gig as originally planned. I called you last night and left a message.

Re: Shepherds Bush London This Week

Travelling up with my best buddy and fellow Bonamassa fanatic ... he's driving and I'm navigating so we may get lost.  If anyone can suggest a good pub to meet up in then we'd be up for it. 

S'been a long time ... sooooooo excited to be seeing the boys again.

Went into our local Apple retailer over the weekend to play with their iMac.  Loaded the JB website and of course then there's JB playing loud and clear all over the shop.  Nice!

I won't be there until around 5pm with my mates but we'll aim for The Backpackers for a beer or two.

Re: Shepherds Bush London This Week

Hey Michael, see you at Backpackers around 5 or so. Guess it will be a queueing bunfight if it's first come first served. I'll try to get there earlier if I can and contact you on the moby. Thanks ever so much for letting me have the ticket, you are a star!
