Doctor J Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I like cheese, grain and Paul McCartney, but I'd only eat two of them. Will that do? 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that Paul would like to do exactly that. But in real world old age and security issues leave him with limited options to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 We had a gig booked there once supporting Rik Waller. We arrived to be told he’d only sold 8 tickets and the gig was off! Would love to have seen Macca. Co grate to anyone luck enough to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he was on the Bill already or someone has dropped out and he needs a run through before the big gig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book the night out to a band with no fans, with full promotion and ticket sales etc. Looks just like a normal gig. Then swap McCartney (or other superstar) in at the last minute. Not too many people disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the moaning from people who didn't bother reading the very clear "non transferable, ID required" who bought tickets expecting to sell them for hundreds of pounds only to find they couldn't sell them? I saw the email announcement while I was 2 minutes walk from the cheeser but thought I'd leave the tickets to people who'd appreciate it more rather than just go because he's there.
