I'm out, not a chance I'm going to pay that I was ~44k in the queue (yes really). By the time I got to the front, the €86 tickets were gone. I ended up getting 2 x €142 + ticketmaster etc came to €313. But I don't care. It's a bucket list that I thought I missed out on. And the €56 extra would take you a few hours in a Dublin pub to spend. So pittance in the grand scheme. I'm a happy bunny today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that absolutely,, people have different tolerances for different events I might have considered it differently if it was Beth Gibbons getting Portishead back together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 4 hours ago, tonyh29 said: ah ok Who are Portishead Go beyond Bristol, go to the silted brown grey shoreline of the Severn. The wrong side of the Severn, where you don’t even get to see the sunrise. Divest yourself of all hope. Imagine a heroin habit you are trying to kick, but you worry if you kick the heroin you’ll begin to remember why you were taking heroin. Now it’s beginning to rain, the rain is cold and in your face no matter what way you face. It’s getting dark now, another day almost dead. That’s Portishead. They don’t tend to get a lot of their music put on adverts for air fresheners or washing powder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I don’t know if you’ve gone out of your way to check to see if you’ve heard it, come back and confirmed that belief. But for me it’s one of those songs that people have heard but they don’t realise they know it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
