Thank you very much for the information, Drew.
It looks as though July will be a month of outdoor concerts for Hayley

Although to be confirmed by Bedlam, this concert is a MUST as both Hayley and All Angels are appearing.

I phoned the box office and was advised "early" booking as tickets are limited (aren't they for every concert? ).

I hope this one is confirmed being a local concert for myself ( and Steve). Thanks Drew for the information.

According to Bedlam Management, this event is "on the cards but NOT confirmed".

[Steve H]

Thanks for that Roger.

Please be cautious about all events until they have been confirmed by Bedlam or Roger, both are trustworthy sources

Thanks for that, Steve. Actually, we are very similar. One is bedlam and the other is chaos!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the information Drew.

As I said on AAI this looks like an event that is well worth attending with both Hayley and All Angels performing.

Unfortunatly I will be unable to book tickets untill I am paid on 21st (unless I have done my maths wrong, which is likely i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif), though hopefully everything will be confirmed by then.

Hi Dazza,
with it been a 'open air' event it I cannot see it will make any difference. Presumably you get a ticket to enter the grounds (that will be presumably huge) and then 'find a pitch' so to speak.
Unfortunately I am due to be at the golf 'Open' at Birkdale, so doubt I will make it. However if I am right if you are an 'early bird at the gates' no matter when you purchased the ticket you should get a prime position. Do more experienced concert attenders agree ?? Graham

Thanks Drew,

It's strange how there is a poster and can sell tickets if it is yet to be confirmed?

Even though it is yet to be confirmed I may well go ahead and book tickets anyway this week. Just need to check a few things first.

As luck would have it Katherine Jenkins is performing near Norwich on the 12th, so that is my two favorite singers and favourite band performing in the same region on the same weekend! What a weekend that could be!

Yes, you would think so wouldn't you? Unfortunately, it is quite common all over the world which is why we always stress that events have not yet been confirmed. I am still waiting to hear about this one. It is entirely up to the individual to decide whether or not to buy tickets before the event is confirmed. If you do, and the event doesn't go ahead, you should get a refund but that is often subject to a deduction for handling charges.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for that, very strange, I may give it a week for it to be/not to be confirmed before purchasing.

This would be a wonderful concert as it is near to where I grew up, and also the place where I have spent many a happy hour watching the greatest football team on earth play!

My Mum said that there were mutterings concerning the concert on the local radio yesterday. The only problem is, I probably won't be in the country to see it.
