Frances, Mike, you're playing a blinder! Thanks so much for your efforts.
For the benefit of anyone who doesn't check the "News" section (perish the thought!), there's a vote in NME for the world's best lyricist. Of course we all know who that is, but now is your chance to vote..........often! :)
The direct link to vote for Leonard is on page 4.
I've been voting for the past few days. He's currently at No 1 but no one seems to know when voting closes.

Hi Mary,

Offhand I can't find the exact phrase but after requesting the tickets be sent to me I noticed they had a disclaimer (typical TM) that your tickets may not arrive until a couple of weeks before the event! Looks like fans in Ireland and the UK have been receiving theirs so hopefully we will too VERY soon. If July arrives and no ticket, I'll start to get VERY nervous :? Time for us to practice that patience we've learned so well over the past couple of years! ;-)

ps...Frelander and Carlowmike...what a duo! Thank you for all you are doing! :D

Among a few handy tips Frelander (Frances) made a good point about bringing some warm clothing to ward against the evening chill -- remember that ;-) . At the end of each of the Kilmainham Concerts Leonard advised "keep warm, don't catch the summer cold" !.

PS. Note to Leonard : don't forget your scarf ! :idea:

handy tips.... I have mentioned this on another thread, it would be wise to bring insect repellent to ward off our friendly (too friendly!) midges.... :roll:
