Re: Wilko Johnson making farewell tour.

That's Glasgow sold out now. I wonder if they will move it to the bigger hall.

Re: Wilko Johnson making farewell tour.

Well, the ticket touts have done it again! Tickets for these gigs up on e-bay for £145 plus!!! Theiving scumbags! Limited shows / tickets / last shows of his career - ooooo lets make a killing on the back of his misfortune! :-(

Wilco is a really nice guy and his decision on treatment leaves me in awe of the man.

Re: Wilko Johnson making farewell tour.

I hope the scumbags are left with the tickets. They have no scruples at all.

John Wilkinson is bowing out bravely and deliberately kept the prices low.

I admire Wilco so much for what you said above.

A couple of typos saying Wilco, it's Wilko smile

Re: Wilko Johnson making farewell tour.

Wilko supporting the "Frantic Four" at Manchester (6/4), Glasgow (9/4) and Wolverhampton (10/4) as well the 3 nights at London Hammersmith.

He's also down to be interviewed for the Laugharne Week-end, but date given is same as Manchester Quo gig, so this may well be via video link as it's scheduled at 6pm - not a lot of time to get from S.Wales to Manchester.

Re: Wilko Johnson making farewell tour.

Just amazing that he's still touring this year and releasing a new album with Roger Daltrey in March. I don't know how he's getting on health-wise, but he's obviously still got the energy and drive to keep on working. I have great memories of Wilko - Dr Feelgood was my very first live gig, must have been around 1975. Great start to my concert-going career!

Regretably, Wilko has had to cancel these festival appearances while he convalesces.

Re: Wilko Johnson making farewell tour.

From an interview at the recent Q Awards bash, news is looking good for Wilko, following 11hrs of surgery to remove a 3Kg tumor, reports are that he's been declared clear of cancer.

Here's looking to a "Welcome Back" tour sometime soon....
