I'm leaving TV on Sky News until 10, then it's switch over to the new episode of The Following (in which fanatical members of a cult wait eagerly for the appearance of their leader, go figure...)

It's on Sky News?!

I've been stalking Twitter all night

I was one of them !!!! went to some great aftershows ... forum ..Bagleys (think thats the name) met Prince Lovesexy era in HMV ..all via controversy and Eileen..

Bagleys was awful. Dangerously overcrowded. I recall the club security outside were taking peoples tkts off them as they entered the building and promptly re-selling them to fans without tkts. It was like a bloody furnace in there, people passing out left and right.

christ i was there..what a ledgendary night though..manged to get damn near the front.

Good to see him taking an interest in Somerset with a visit, maybe a charity gig with the Wurzels for flood relief?

oh the irony....'the sound of silence' has just come on the radio!!. Off to watch 'the following'...laters!!

Noticed that Live Nation UK are following 3EG's Twitter account, so looks like they are gonna be the gigs promoter - time to get a LV account if you don't already; they always run presales.

Cheers,

Indi

haha yes... and we didnt have to do all this with waiting on announcements.. a letter with a slip came in the door and you posted cheque and you got front row happy days

read this on uk prince party (where are that last elections?!) twitter: PRINCE TOUR LATEST: Ticket news coming tonight after a closed press event with @liannelahavas... thanks to GMc for the info #PrinceUKTour

What's GMc?

Emporium Aftershow was a fantastic night for me. My step father was in hospital very ill and insisted i go that night to the main concert instead of being up the hospital.

Was a great concert, a great aftershow at the emporium and something i will remember for ever. Sadly my step dad died a few days later. He was a musician too.

As for this waiting - its becoming a farce.

All the UK lurkers are finally out in the open tonight. It's nice to see this isn't a totally USA-centric site after all.

It's like going abroad and finding a British pub.

Great comments about Eileen Murton..that woman deserves some official recognition..how about an 'Order Of The Purple Garter'?

The Emporiums were probably my favourites, probably followed by the Sept 13 indigo. Liked The Pod, Busby's, The Marquee and The Hippodrome. Worst by far was Kings Cross.

Must admit to being a lurker these days. Used to be on here quite a lot in the early 2000s when there was nothing else on the net

Never heard of Eileen before tonight, but she sounds genuinely wonderful.

Then you get nights like the Austoria ..waited until 3am for a aftershow and got a no show.. went to Wendy and Lisa at Brixton and could see Prince behind the scenes... They started to play Mountains and kept looking side of stage but again a no show...

I got some tickets for Lovesexy, Nude & D&P tours from EIleen, I remember filling the sheet for preferred dates, attaching a cheque and posting it before gigs were even announced, then receiving the tickets a few weeks later and working out where you was on the seat map on the back, always in the front blocks !!! good old days when Prince's people looked after the fans and provided good tickets in advance. Now we hang around on here wonder if we're gonna have to go via scalpers and pay a premium on Seatwave etc.

I also went on the 1991 Minneapolis trip with Controversy, got a tour of Paisley park and had some fun in Glam Slam.

BREAKING NEWS!! This just in......nothing has happened....for more information....tune in later...
