I was going to the Manchester gig and only found out it was cancelled 4 hours before

He sent out some very moving apologies out on myspace, and he mentioned that he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow.

Am quite tempted to run off and get a ticket for Glen Campbell!! I know it sounds odd but really his new album is frightfully good

yes...it is.

Are we talking about Glen Campbell, the guy who sang Rhinestone Cowboy? At first a whinced, then laughed...but people on this board seem to like a lot of bands that I like, so I am going to have to give his disc a listen.

My next shows are Okkervil River and the Black Crowes, both in Buffalo in October. And Spirit of the West, a Canadian Celtic-influenced band in Toronto in late October.

Spear of Destiny in York and Glasgow - does anyone know any reasonably priced hotels in Glasgow handy for the Barfly?

The very same man indeed. 'Meet Glen Campbell' is a really good CD. I was actually stunned that I liked it! It's really worth checking out.

I'm trying to get tickets for him here in Glasgow in October.

My Mam was a huge Glen Campbell fan. I remember listening to 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' when I was little and thinking it was the saddest song I'd ever heard.

Looking forward to the Levellers at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, which is the second part of their 20th anniversary gigs.
