GREAT!!! 

What do you all think.. Will he have his band or will he play with others???

[dustyvalentino]

I imagine the band will be Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. MK has played with them before.

Congrats to you!
What do they charge for a ticket?

[Marijn]

All the way at the front, you pay 270 pounds per ticket 
I'm one block more to the back, at the first row, which is 111 pounds.
Will try to record the show and take some pics.

Thank you for the info!

Wow! 270 BP a pop, that should be a celebration for the birthday boy!

I hope those that go enjoy themselves and post a review for us. I love Bill Wymans Rhythmn Kings. If they play Dissapearing Nightly that'd be worth the price of tickets alone for me. Its a cracking tune. Anyway not long now.
