that he was never going to play here again cos we, the UK audiences, don't appreciate him then maybe he is aiming to play to half empty houses and say 'There, told you so!'

I heard about the gigs from the 'nasty little trainspotter' hotline but I am odd that way

It will be empty halls. Looks like these have been on sale since December, and I've only just caught wind of it now. Given that I got tickets on Row D, it does seem like they're not shifting like hot cakes...

Not sure if he has new product due out with Brodsky Quartet or whether its just because they are mates or whatever.
He does have an album with T Bone Burnett due out sometime in the summer which should be interesting.

not many people enjoy him playing with the Brodsky quartet the lp's were hardly flying off the shelves in the first place. Coldplay don't have to hire skywriters to sell out their tours in 10 minutes after all?

Front row Circle at the Bridgewater in Manchester.

Thanks for the heads up itf - not seen Elvis for a long time and it just might work with the Brodsky's in this venue (which is essentially a classical concert hall).

But I fear for the turnout - looads of seats still available at all prices.
