hi,
i think it was two or three months ago that the tickets went on sale. as a simple minds fan i am very happy that i will be getting to see deacon blue. i am going to manchester myself. i loved deacon blue years ago but i am guilty of having not listened to them for years. i guess i should start listening to them again. i cant wait to see the lovely lorraine.
neil,
it could be that they would feel silly being a support act in their home town. or it could be the other more likely reason in that the tour is a 30th anniversary celebration for simple minds and they may have a surprise of some sort planned for glasgow.
by the way if anyone is interested check out
www.sosimpleminded.com it is a great site with a great forum.
