Got tickets for the Manchester Apollo gig. Can't wait.
I wonder if Jimi will make a surprise appearance.

Would love to go but worried about a potential clash with West Ham at home.
Also try to avoid going out at that time of year due to too many once a year drinkers!

Interview with Jimi.

Thought it was a bit sad seeing him obviously struggling but it's a big step forward facing the public and the media head on.

Hope he's recovering well and every day is better for him.

Saw that a few weeks ago and I'm a bit concerned for Jimi. He's always had a lisp but his words aren't sounding clear at all. He cited he wasn't interested in playing live in a Doves interview but then announces this side project gig. I wonder if that's because he's not able to perform? I was almost wondering if he's had a minor stroke. My grandad sounded very much like that but it might be nothing and hope its just an off day/has a cold etc.

At least the band has his back and continue to see him, and he's supportive of them touring without him.

Oh wow Jimi was there.
That's great to see.
How was it?

How was Jimi?

Anything said to suggest he'll be back doing the winter tour?

Yeah Jimi was on good form as was they all and was chatting to everyone and seemed better than previously, though the Q&A turned into him and Jez having a ramble on and off topic.
Martin Rabeski was with them too as they called him up to come down and said he is the unofficial 4th member.

It was a small exibition of unseen photos and gig memrobilia plus a viewing of a song they wrote 18yrs ago but never used and when doing this new compilation LP they refound and are releasing

Went with a couple of blues, one being Debbie (original moonbeam) she did ask Jimi. as he was leaving will he be at the Apollo, his answer was "we"ll see"

Nice one.
Was it sold out?

I'm hoping Jimi plays the Apollo, would be so good to see him back.

It needs to be said if not prior, but some of the unreleased tracks that never made it onto Kingdom of Rust give many tracks that did a good run. I love this song, Andy's drums starting this off, Jez's guitar hooks, the backing vocals, and of course Jimi.

In other words, Doves have some damn good extra material. I wish I had heard this YEARS ago, but I will take it now, thanks @staffsblue.
 
In case you missed the on pitch interview with Jez and Andy before kick off yesterday, they are offering a discount to City supporters at their online shop. Just use code "CITYSPIRIT" to receive a 15% discount.
They also joked that United fans would have to pay 30% extra!
