Why refer to theese dates as UK dates ? Theese dates are all in England. What about the other 3 Countries that make up the UK. Big disgruntled and disappointed Scot. Shame is, Joe knows how faithful and loyal Scottish fans are.
Cardiff is in Wales. Maybe the Playhouse and Clyde Auditorium weren't available - I am sure they would have tried for a Scottish date. Logistically, sometimes it is just not possible. Have you seen Joe play anywhere? Newcastle isn't that far away and definitely worth the trip.
have a word with Alex Salmond ;-) Sorry I could n’t resist, - but in defence of management it surely comes down to population? Joe understandably needs to play to large audiences and with Scotland 5.1 million, England 51.8million (2009) - Wales may have only 3 million but Cardiff is very easy to get to by a lot of people you can sort of see why it is what it is. Tin hat on.
I hear what you are saying Ian but the Civic Auditorium in Glasgow holds 4,000 and is the best music venue in Scotland IMO. Would be sold out no bother.
Surely it can't be the lack of Scottish fans. In the 6 years I've been a fan, Scottish dates have always sold out rather quickly.
If theclyde auditorium and playhouse were unavailable,there's still the likes of caird hall in Dundee,usher hall in Edinburgh,royal concert hall in Glasgow,music hall in Aberdeen.plenty of venues to be had.seems to be another case of Scotland missing out again.

These venues are too small now. He is booking 3,500 - 4,000 seats.

it does seem a shame then that Glasgow/Scotland has been left out especially given their reputation for being some of the most welcoming lively audiences in the World.
