Looking into the London one for this...great news!

I've got my London tickets. This is going to be great.

Simply had to do Birmingham because it's Clint's home turf, and nearer to me from Manchester as well. Massively looking forward to it.

Just a heads up for those of you going to Birmingham tomorrow: Ticketmaster have emailed me stating a 2015 instead of 1930 start, with no support.

Just got back from Birmingham, and it was a rather wonderful show all round, with Maryanne Hobbs introducing him with a heartfelt "I love him dearly, with all my heart" and reminding us it was 11 years since Clint played Brum (2005 PWEI reformation tour of course which I'm sure many of us (me included) were at. Apparently some of the Mk1 PWEI folks were there but I didn't spot any of them..

Anyway, the sound in the Symphony Hall certainly helped make it a really enjoyable gig all round. Starting off with some dramatic and powerful stuff from Noah, he then kicked proverbial backside into Pi, and that really did come alive hugely, possibly my favourite of the night. We also got some of the new High Rise soundtrack, which certainly was quite in your face, and added to that a suite from Moon, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream (with the violin players really making parts of it sound darker than normal) and The Fountain, with "Death Is The Road To Awe" being the closer.

He indulged us with his tale of meeting Madonna and having a chip on his top following a drive through burger meal on his way to meet her, and was reminiscing the venues he had played in Birmingham before, including the likes of the Hummingbird and Aston Villa Leisure Centre amongst others. It felt a really nice warm atmosphere and certainly although a fair number of the crowd were more classical music buffs, they seemed to get it and enjoy it, which was positive. I did spot a few other people in PWEI t-shirts though so it wasn't just me (had the grey long sleeved skater number on of course, I actually wore that to the 2005 reformation gig)

For those of you going in the next few days - enjoy. I'm going to enjoy the Royal Albert Hall talk on Sunday...
