UK/Ireland Tour Dates ?

Yes should of had some dates by now which has me kinda worried -guess Dublin would be the Olympia or Vicar Street?

Mmmmm...I already have two gigs in March so I know the feeling. Maybe it will be a little later than expected?

We just have to be patient

It'd probably be The Olympia or maybe even The Village. Vicar Street is run by Aikens and the Finns gigs have always traditionally been MCD gigs.

-ok then my money is on the Village.

I'm also waiting with bated breath for Tim's Uk dates .

Now I'm not saying this is is confirmed but seetickets show him at Leeds City Varieties on Thursday 15 March 2007 ( only date listed )so hoping for something near Portsmouth Hell I'd settle for anything south of London

Yeah, it lists Leeds on the 15th. But if you try to purchase tickets, it says it is sold out??? All I can think of is that the tickets have not even been put on sale yet and that the sold out will be removed once they are given the go-ahead. I hope so anyway...

GRYPH?

Friday the 16th March in Dublin (at The Village). Can't wait!

Shepherd's Bush Empire on Mon 12th March...

Warwick Arts Centre Sun 11th March

Known Tim Finn tour dates upto yet:-

11th March, Warwick Arts Centre
12th March, London Shepherd's Bush Empire
15th March, Leeds City Varieties Hall
16th March, Dublin The Village

Hopefully, there may be a Manchester, Birmingham, Wales and Scotland date too? That would spread it out nicely...

Has there not been a press release with all the dates on yet? I usually look at them all and then see which ones I can get to. I don't want to be missing out by waiting for official news if tickets are already on sale.

Help!

Non of these are on sale yet, or at least not through the usual outlets. The info posted so far has been dug up by Finn-attics who regularly trawl the ticket sites when a tour is imminent in the hope of getting a head start on the more casual punters. Hopefully Peter will e-mail everyone and post on the Forum very shortly with the full schedule. Another date that hasn't been mentioned is Utrecht in Holland on 8th March. I've gleamed this info from e-bay where someone is touting a ticket for this date at £45 !!!!

The show in Holland was announced today. It's unelievable someone is already selling a ticket on eBay. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, if you want to buy a ticket go here: Ticketservice

*Tim Finn Utrecht, Vredenburg, 8 march 2007

weird as the worksheet as Belgium for the 8th and Holland for the 9th.....will try and reconfirm.

Hi Gryph. I think some of the dates are incorrect. I don't think even Jimmy Barnes could manage 14 consecutive nights on a tour! Here in the UK, Leeds is being listed as the 15th March and Dublin the 16th...so I guess the following may be a day or 2 out also.

Yes ticketmaster and MCD Promoters have Dublin as the 16th March '07.

PHEW- hopefully the corrected dates (above) are right. I ended up going through them and correcting per day of the week (the 'day' info seems correct on the work sheet).
So I'd say the above dates should all be A'ok now!

awww knickers I have a gig the night of the Leeds gig so it looks like a long haul to Manchester, anybody been to the Lowry? I have only been to the bar!

Row D at the Lowry, was in row E but it timed out next time I am a row further up front! weird, maybe should have kept timing out till I got to the front row!

Went through live nation
http://www.livenation.co.uk/events/event_info.aspx?rid=205748

dunno about any other presale as I didnt seem to get any e-mails etc?

The Lowry is okay, but for me it's surprisingly tacky for such a new venue. We saw Sparks there recently. The stalls seating is flat, so if you're a tad on the small side you have the choice of being near the front and cricking your neck, or running the risk of being further back and having someone block your view. This is the choice I have to make with regard to my other half as she is only 5' 0'. This time she'll have to crick her neck as I've plumped for Row D.

must admit I hate seated venues anyway, seems some strange venue choices in there, a lot of sit down and listen places, far too grown up for me!

Thanks to Gryphon for the list of dates.

Does anyone have any idea when the Dublin tickets go on sale? Ticketb*****ds have them currently not for sale.

Adding to the questions; does anybody know anything about the Milton Keynes date?
I rang The Stables box office and got flat denials and a 'never heard of him before' reply, not even the standard 'sorry we haven't had that confirmed' response. In fact they've got somebody else booked for the 17th, so I'm quite confused (the 18th looks free though from their website??).
Cardiff and Warwick are both happily selling tickets though.

- booked two tickets earlier - €26 each including €3.35 ticketmaster charge.

Just bought a couple of tickets for the Dublin show myself. Might even stay over and catch the big parade the next day.......

I see Tim's forgoing the parade for Milton Keynes. Someone should have a word in his ear.

Tim will be fairly tired by March 17th but on March 16th he will peak with his best performance of 2007 to date!
Seriously the 17th of March will be his fourth day in a row!

I've managed to get tickets for Leeds but it was difficult. Seems that they only have certain rows and wouldn't sell them to us early unless we joined their priviledge club. Hmmm.

Anyway, I'm going to see Tim!

The Belgian date is indeed Wednesday the 7th, and I bought my ticket Saturday so they are already for sale.

Managed to get two tickets for Tim's only Scottish date,xmas come early for yours truly!!

Yes cant wait as a Concert is on the Horizon,Horizon!

Got my ticket's in the Post on Thursday 21st December - Yippie for Dublin March 16th!

Who are Guests anyone for Dublin?

Woo-hoo! Good news everyone!

I'm on the mailing list for the Queen's Hall here in Edinburgh, and just 45 minutes ago received their latest programme.

Opened it up, saw Steven Seagal's picture, had a smirk to myself, eyes drifted right, did a big Laurel and Hardy James Finlayson double take - Mr Tim Finn, on 14th March, just a couple of days before my 50th birthday.

I got right on the phone and booked my tickets. Excellent! QH is a great venue, small and intimate, with great acoustics. I go regularly to jazz and classical concerts there. To see Tim in such a small hall will be brilliant.

So I've now seen Neil at the Corn Exchange, Finn Bros at Usher Hall, I'll catch Tim at the QH...hopefully Crowded House will visit Edinburgh, hopefully Usher Hall as the Finn Bros gig there was superb. And that would only leave Split Enz for me to see.

I hoped they'd be coming after the success of their gigs last year, but with CH on the agenda, Enz in Edinburgh might be too much to ask any time soon.

But one thing at a time - Tim Finn at QH! With a jazz gig by Essborn Svensson Trio on the day after my birthday, I'm looking forward to a great few days of celebration.

Congrats AW It'll be the best birthday present ever, and if Tim's in anything like the form he was in on Thursday night in Melbourne, you're in for an absolutely brilliant time.

Don't forget the review

Texas Rose,

I'm hoping he'll be on top form. Tim got quite a bit of exposure for Imaginary Kingdom here in the UK, including interviews on a few web sites.

I was a bit concerned when I saw footage of the band on I think it was Tiscali, playing 3 or 4 numbers in what looked like a musical instrument shop. Tim was well out of tune a few times. Maybe there wasn't much monitoring so he couldn't hear himself properly.

Hopefully his voice will soar wonderfully on this tour. Astounding Moon is surely inked in on the set list.

Tim -out of tune -never! (LOL)
