I work in Bristol – saw them there
Live not far from Southampton – saw them there
Was following my football team to Yorkshire – so saw them at Leeds
Couldn’t stay for Manchester on the Saturday night, unfortunately!
But,|”All in Good Time” tracks apart, each gig was different. But each was fantastic, as they have been since first seeing BNL at Wembley Arena when supporting the Beautiful South. Even then they were better than the main act. Would love to go on their cruise in February but can’t afford to so can’t wait for the Ladies to comr back to UK!

This was the 12th time I’d seen BNL (I’ve been a huge fan since around 2000) and fourth tour and for me was one of the best shows ever. The band always come out and talk to us nutcases after every show (more examples of ‘accessibility’ as you put it) and Ed even said he felt he didn’t think they were great that night – whereas even us seasoned BNL veterans thought it was a great show.

Glad you’re spreading the good words about the band – and a very good summary I must add – and also a similar view of all those I’ve dragged along over the years.

I have seen the band 15 (fifteen!) times in concert… Every time is just as good as the last… I have tickets to see Steven Page (who is no longer with the band) in november in chicago!

It was my first time seeing BNL, although I’ve been a fan for what seems like decades and what a fantastically enjoyable show the guys put on. The new songs just blended in with the classics, between songs the banter was easy going as if you were talking to a mate at the pub and the musicianship was superb. I was there with my wife and daughter who had been brought up listening to the cd’s when she first went to Primary and is now 12 years later leaving Secondary, she loved the performance of “Alcohol”. Only very minor gripe was the T Shirts were rather dull, please can we get them as imaginative as the music? Otherwise everything else was excellent. Please come back to Leeds soon.

This was the second time I’d seen them (I’m a reasonably-big fan) and couldn’t agree more with your assessment of the night!!

I agree with everything that has been said….although unlike the author of this review I have been a fan since 1994 (though not in an obsessive way as I still don’t know which face to put to what name!!) when my then flatmate played me “Maybe you should Drive”…..So the band have been the soundtrack to my life for quite a long time. OK, so the cds are basically in the car all the time. Have only seen the guys once before at Newcastle Arena when they were supporting The Beautiful South. I actually left when the South came on. Well, it was a long drive back to Ripon!

In Leeds I was about 3 rows from the front. (one of them winked at me….but I couldn’t put the name to the wink..LOL!) and had a fab time. I knew all the words and the tunes reminded me of lots of episodes in my life with a smile…followed by depression (tongue in cheek here) at how un-rock-and-roll my life has become. :0) Glad they sang Pinch Me…reminded me of that dodgy bar in Galveston with the even dodgier Ground Controller I met on the internet in 2000, but that’s a story in itself.

Anyway, I digress. Fab show, with a band who clearly really enjoy what they are doing. It was a pleasure, chaps!
