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

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.

This is funny, just been winding a Hackney living friend up that the press conf could be down her street and she txted back that LLH sang at her local bar and did a photo shoot in a place she frequented...

shit..i was going to go to bed...time to bed in for a couple more hours!!

@KIKITkiran: Just finished w the most amazing press conference I've ever been to! 2 songs by @3RDEYEGIRL. THANK U @liannelahavas 4 being a generous host! What does that mean 4 us...???

What the funk is going on?!? Did any press attend?! Channel 4 didn't know a few hours ago! So, now we wait for the press to announce the dates if they can't be bothered to tell us fans lol

OK! I'm done! I love you baby, but not like I love my.... bed!

One seriously tired 54 year old!! A full day at work, then a 5 hour shift here. How come it's all refresh, refresh, refresh and I feel so un-refreshed?!!

It's been great though, all the reminiscing about the old days, Controversy, Eileen and the aftershows. Just have to hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I'm not too late. Night night peeps! Sweet dreams xxxx

Just met Pince somewhere near Reading. He's on his way into Kate Bush's living room, he said, where he's supposed to uncover his finalized plans: 21 shows on different Eurostar-services to and from eternity.

3rd Eye TV report it is the Electric Ballroom "Now".

So much for giving his fans the opportunity to see him. Haven't got a teleport.

Think this might be the straw that breaks the camels back for me.

I do wonder what exactly she DOES as a manager

Do you think Prince does everything himself? like a one man band? lol Arraging his flight, managing his money, contracts, promotion, negotiating deals etc... We know he is talented but not that talented.

[Edited 2/4/14 14:28pm]

So what kinda Press Conference involves nothing being announced to the public! And Electric Ballroon from Leyton would take maybe half an hour in traffic? Then he has to piss around a bit and put some pepper on a salad...good luck to anyone who's giving it a go. Gonna stay up a wee bit longer but even if there is something there how will we know or see? He's gone off Livestream hasn't he?

On the last night of the 21 nights in London tour at the O2, everybody was given purple glow sticks on their way in. Some idiot decided to throw one at Prince mid-song and it hit him.

This show is just for the press though, right? We'll have the opportunity once the tickets for the other shows are made available... I hope.

Yep, it would have been cool. Hey, one of the 'iconic' venues could be down our end of the M4...

Cardiff born and bred but currently residing in Northampton...must admit I would cream at the prospect of Prince playing in Cardiff..

My old man's the manager of st David's hall there, 2000 seats and said to have some of the greatest acoustics imaginable but alas the nitwits of the council are threatening to shut it down...been around since 82 and had its fair share of icons pass through its doors... Would be devastated to see it go
