While most of England will be watching football I will be at Big Big Train's only 2018 UK concert in Basingstoke.

If the FB page is anything to go by, there may be a lot of empty seats.

I feel for the support act as I suspect many people may delay coming to the venue.

Greg Spawton did tweet for any available bass players to get in contact. Maybe it will just be Rikard and Nick on stage

Not being a big football fan my self I am not too worried about missing the game.

At the theater, the middle aged counter culture is decending, Golden Ale seems to be the drug of choice this evening.

Hi Glynn - enjoy the gig - I'm with you - rather be listening to music than watching football!

Well Big Big Train (and the support, The Beatrix Players) were excellent, I gather the football less so. Bookies wasted no time in posting odds for the final in their windows to the dismay of those not wanting to see the result.

At the Cadogan Hall gig last year I knew I had poor seats, I did not realise how poor 'til I got there. This time I knew I had a good one, but found it even better than I expected.

There were only a few empty seats as far asI could see.
