Yucateco, good eye to catch that.

I create ads and brochures and other promotional items, and often have sponsor support I must acknowledge...if I ever make a mistake like that, I am very certain I would be threatened with litigation.

Typo aside, have any of our Australian friends got tickets to see the show? Jambo, you going to watch? Perhaps you can be our Australian correspondent and file a report with us after the show? :lol: :D

Hi Ho All,

The good lady and I are going to the Toowoomba show (Highfields Cultural Centre, Qld) and certainly quite keen to get there ... a Floyd in my home town, well district at least! Very Cool.

As it happens, they are offering tickets at two for the price of one until next Friday, 17th, for the Toowoomba show. So, if there are any locals, or not so locals who are up for a drive in the country, who want to come along, don't hold back. And spread the word for the country folk.

For tickets ...
Phone sales via credit card (no American express)
(07) 4630 8925
8:30am-5:00pm Monday to Friday
In person sales from the Front Office,
Highfields Cultural Centre, O'brien Rd Highfields.

Cheers
Christopher

Speaking to NPF:

NPF: What can the audience expect from your Australian tour of "Breakfast of Idiots"? How does it compare to My Bass and Other Animals?

Guy: It's not such a drawn out autobiographical thing, I've dropped a few bits that I'm bored with and added a load of new stories.

NPF: Any good gossip in the new show??

Guy: Of course! There's actually a bit of a killer revelation about one of the stories in my book..

NPF: Are there any plans/aspirations to take the tour to other parts of the world?

Guy: I'd love to go to the States, but haven't had any interest from there, which I must say I find odd..Anyone reading...

Probably going to go to the Adelaide show as well as the Adelaide appearance in the Billy Hyde record store. I shall take notes and hopefully get some stuff signed.

Saw the show last night at The Factory Theatre in Sydney. Bloody brilliant. A fair bit of new stuff (the David Gilmour 50th Birthday Party bit is hysterical), but some of the best stuff from the old show is in there too, including the David Coverdale segment, which I can't imagine ever getting less funny. He stuck around for a good while afterwards, signing books and other paraphernalia and answering questions from fans. Very nice bloke.
