Damn! Only UK dates are right in the middle of my exam period. I won't know my timetable until February or March - what do I do?! Buy now and possibly sell later?

How quickly did he sell out in 2001/02?

?I?m very much looking forward to this tour and making music with the great musicians in the band. I?ve had a fantastic time making ?On An Island? and really want to perform tracks from it, along with my more familiar repertoire. I?m rather hoping that with this tour announcement people will believe me when I say, honestly, this is the only band I plan to tour with!?

For some unimaginable reason, i never even went to the last set of solo shows he did in London but The Albert hall is too good to resist.
I hope it's a full band and not an Acoustic kind of thing.

Same here. I'm going to book tickets anyway. I can always sell them if I have to.

...I hope I don't have to.
