So very tempting. But I think I already agreed to go to Paris with a friend for the weekend.  :?

Mind you it's Andy's last gig isn't it... hmmm.

Got my ticket in November but since playing the cd my 10 year old son wants to come so ticket ordered last night.
Mmm subliminal prog brainwashing me thinks.
So one large and one small in attendance!
Just a bit worried about him being able to see.

Trying to decide whether our poor ol' prog-mobile will make it that far. I would take the train but its a bit of a palaver from our end with several changes. We would really like to (assuming there are still tickets?) but its a fair trek from the IW in a not so well 1.4 Astra!
Hmmmmmmm  :?

I don't know about tickets do you have to phone up (in which case I doubt there's anyone there to answer the phone) or can you book online?

Well in that case, after The Peel, surely it would only be fitting for anyone (at either the CRS Awards or the Tinyfish gig) who finds themselves adjusting any sort of fastener in the groin area to be expected to spare a thought for you.  :)

The idea has been mooted, and wasn't immediately rejected out o hand.
He'd certainly love to go, but I'd be concerned about loudness, lateness and general suitability of environment to a 6yo.

I don't know if it's the music or the audience that scare her most. She's aware it's going to be hard to find a size 10 t-shirt in the unlikely event she wants one. (She's a soul and disco girl at heart, and thinks Frost songs are great but wishes a rock band hadn't done them)

I'd say bring her with you, if she likes the music anyway I don't see a problem. Besides the more women there are at a gig the better, there are precious few women coming to prog gigs as it is, more would be welcome even if she is more of a Soul/Disco girl.

But if the timing's right I might be able to give you a lift from Doncaster or Leeds or suchlike en route.

Not a problem if you can persuade her to move to a flat in the Wath area.

Already I detect an issue, problem & Wath

Famous people with links to Wath
William Hague, the former leader of the Conservative Party and current shadow Foreign Secretary, was a pupil at Wath Comprehensive School at the time when he made his famous maiden political speech at the Conservative Party conference, aged 16.
Peter Hardy, Baron Hardy of Wath was born and educated in Wath, and was the local Labour MP for many years.
Ian McMillan, poet and so-called Bard of Barnsley, was educated at the town's secondary school in the days when it was a Grammar School.
Lucy Clarkson, former Lara Croft Tomb Raider model, was born in Wath-upon-Dearne and educated at Wath Comprehensive School.
David Bret, one of Britain's leading show business biographers, was born in Paris but adopted into a family (Spurr) here. He attended Wath Grammar School between 1961-6.

Not really much help am I?

Quote from: "CRS Website"Awards Night - Ticket Warning!
A warning to all that BOTY Awards Night tickets are VIRTUALLY SOLD OUT and we may not have any left on the door. If you intend coming - PLEASE check this site before travelling.

If you intend coming - we seriously recommend you buy them now using the online Rokshop or from the box office on 01709 702575.

Note, also, that due to the high capacity crowd seating will be very limited and we will not have any loose chairs inside the venue for health and safety reasons. If you require a seat please ensure you are early.
Quite possibly....nope

Any tactical suggestions?




If you are still being made to feel guilty at going you could always make her VERY happy by doing something for her  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  and then she will be more inclined to make less of a comment about it.......

I can recommend a nice cup of tea (or beverage of her preference) in bed in the morning. I always feel much more kindly disposed to my husband if he brings me a cup of tea in bed.

In a never-to-be-repeated attack of taking a thread back on-topic I'd like to say that Mrs Tom (or Vicky to use the more formal address) will be joining me and dad...and you lot...at Wath on Saturday.

So don't let me down you lot.

It's for the rest of the CRS audience to do that. :-)

Update from the CRS:

It is absolutely important that if you don't have a ticket for Awards Night you buy it immediately as we are now down to under FIFTEEN tickets remaining. Once they are gone, they are gone and there will be none on sale on the door.

We do expect this night to sell out and will announce on the site the minute it does.

Many, many thinks to those who've PMed or chirped in here.
Alas, it ain't a go-er for us. Magenta are on at 7, awards 8 until 9-ish, some other band* at 9.30-ish.
Given that the lad is usually asleep by 7.30, we'd have a devil of a job keeping him entertained through the (boring for a 6yo) awards, especially as he'd be getting very crotchetty*.  And it'd cost us a lot for an event he won't definitely enjoy.

I've pondered sneaking over after the festivities here, but I would probably get there after 9.30 anyway :(

I shall be thinking of you all.... someone text me with all the awards that our lads have won, ok?


* Probably dotted-crotchetty, this being prog.

Just watch out for Kris Hudson-Lee....the CRS anti-video police. He scans the crowd enforcing their very clear policy. I think that it is OK with permission but they like permission to be established in advance rather than leaving it until Kris has you in a head-lock! :shock:

Am I confusing him with another Kris (Chris) Hudson, who got up and did a song with The Reasoning at CRS gig last year, of which I have two cameras worth of video footage and lets just say he didn't look the enforcer type ;)

Yes, there are two similarly named chaps. I too saw the "curly-C" Chris with The Reasoning. "Kicking-K" Kris plays bass with Manning and does look slightly more the enforcer type....

It'll be their first experience of Frost* live, but both of 'em are fans of Milliontown. I don't think they've heard EIMA yet so that should wake 'em up with a bang. It'l be like being slapped around the ears with a baseball bat that's been soaked in a barrel o' prog. ;)

Sorry, I'm not going to be able to make this one - spoiling my attendance record, having been at the last 3 Frost* gigs.  Have a great time all of you and say thanks and bye to Andy from me.  :(

Hope Frost* win best album, best band, and the band members get best keyboard player, best guitarist, best male vocals, best drummer, best goose-flirting, best anti-Mellotron campaign, etc (no point in mentioning best bass player - it's in the bag, as every year ;) )

I'll think of you all when it turns prog o'clock on Saturday night...

I have told my son to fill his pockets with Tunnocks in case he meets the band.  It has to be done as its the polite thing to do.
The only problem is i do have a liking for Tunnocks so they may not survive the night :oops:

For anyone up for a beer beforehand a few of us from the It Bites forum will probably be in the Wetherspoons pub; a few minutes walk from the venue, as I recall, I think.  Aiming to get there about 4.30 pm or thereabouts.
