None of us knows the answers. You'll just have to wait for the tour announcement like everyone else. Having done Britain quite extensively in the summer, he may not go back there at all. If he does, though, I'd be surprised if he played anywhere smaller than the Albert Hall.

The Albert Hall has been fully booked, difficult or impossible to find a vacant day there that would fit into the other tour schedule.

I suggest LC to come to the Clyde Auditorium (Armadillo) in Glasgow. Great venue and not too big.

The Royal Festival Hall is a great venue in a nice setting on the Southbank and has the Premier (Travel Inn) nearby. It also has its own ticketing system and usually doesn't use agencies. However the capacity there is only 2895 (absolute max.). It also gets heavily booked. As a compromise between north and south, the Birmingham Symphony Hall is another great venue.

All good things, John E

Both St. Davids hall and the Millennium centre in Cardiff would be ideal; after all, he's been to England and Scotland. Not that I've any vested interest or anything.....

Millennium Centre would be ideal, Rob.

Isn' t there a big new arena in Liverpool?
P.P.

My living room is a perfectly good venue. Decent acoustics, cheap entry, nice crowd, free drinks. Unfortunately no room for all the band, so Leonard will be forced to do a select set of acoustic solos. My bedroom will double as a dressing room. Intermission will be at least two hours.

Doo dum dum dum...

Gingermop you beat me to it. My livingroom is also free, maybe there'll be one concert by the Mumbles but I can change them to another night if necessary. I'll also put Leonard up if he wants a place to stay and cook him whatever he wants and take him on some day trips or whatever takes his fancy.

It would be fantastic if Leonard came to Liverpool, especially as its currently the European Capital of Culture

For Liverpool I would prefer the Philharmonic Hall to that big new Arena - maybe he could play 2 or 3 nights

Please please please arrange more concerts in England - I live in Devon and was unable to secure tickets for Manchester/London. I saw the great man at the Albert Hall and in a much smaller venue in Vancouver Island 15 years ago. I don't mind if it's big or small - but Cardiff or the NEC would be great ... in fact anywhere where I can actually buy a ticket!!

The Opera House in Manchester would be an ideal venue......

... I wish ...

the Royal Albert Hall - for a whole month! (think of the publicity!)
- Part III of the Tour?
- promote live dvd?
- let the BBC film a concert and get free publicity and more fans?
- promote new cd?
- just sing for a month and be surrounded by Love?
- plus sing Famous Blue Raincoat every night???

... I wish ...
