skidder652003 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 £30 to £60 quid , no way! Id rather kiss a tramps arse! Used to love level 42 back when i was a spotty herbert back in 84, but lets be honest, they were pretty embarassing weren't they? Marks an amazing player, but, well, white men cant jump, as the saying goes.... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Fair enough... but that's just showboating.... he does a lot more than just that 2 minute bass solo stuff..... Have a listen to the 'Level 42' album... plenty of tunes there that will suffice groove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 funnily enough a mate emailed yesterday about seeing them in plymouth next month and the ticket prices were waaay too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairobill Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's a sign of the times. Used to be that touring was there to support album sales. Now it's the only real source of income, hence the hikes. To think of all the amazing bands I saw for a tenner back in the day...wowsa...
