Cheers for the link. It was an interesting read...

Good stuff.

I'm not a mega JP fan by any means but I saw them earlier this year in Glasgow and they rocked!

I got my ticket for Glasgow!

It was bloody expensive but for me its worth it. I'm a big fan of the band and I always wanted to see them again. I first saw them in Dublin 2003 and cant wait to see them again -I reckon it might be the last time.
