[bouncing beetle]

No chance, not touring at the moment, and the end of the last tour left a bit of a question mark was left over the whole future of the band.

[fatyeti24]

no chance this year unfortunately.

[Bobs]

Yeah i saw them at V, and they were very frosty to say the least, allegedly swearing at the Chelmsford crowd, but nevertheless an excellent band. Sadly, i can't see anymore Doves for a while.

Probably grumpy old Jimi, he's had a face like a slapped arse performing for a while according to reports. He was a right curmudgeon at Kendal Calling last year.

Curmudgeon - that's not a word used often enough is it??

Oh, and its just 'Doves', no 'The'.... sorry for being a pedant.

[fatyeti24]

i saw them at the Warehouse Project back in October, and there was talk then that it could be their final gig. i think they said something about it being their last 'for a while' or something along those lines. drink had been taken, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

good gig, though surprisingly not a sell out.

[olliet101]

I highly doubt it, there was talk of Jimi working with Guy Garvey but I doubt that will happen for a while, if they're ever back, it'll be a good few years.

I saw them at Folkestone on the last tour and they were fantastic, bought my Dad the best of CD and he loves them now as well.

[Big Vern]

didnt they get bottled at V last year?

[Thrash D Garbage]

Shame, cos I thought they were excellent at Rockness last year

[guypjfreak]

Examples of CURMUDGEON

<only a curmudgeon would object to the nursing home's holiday decorations>

At his quirky best, the elder Cooper is a curmudgeon right out of central casting, grumpy old man meets borscht-belt crank. He really does fiddle with his hearing aid and yell, “What? I can't hear you,” only to chide you afterward that there's no need to shout. —Norah Vincent, New York Times Book Review, 19 Feb. 2006

I think they over did it touring the last album. They were great in December '09 at the G-Mex but I understand that some of the 2010 dates were a bit strained. Think they'll take a reasonable length break now. I desperately hope it's not the end as they're one of the best bands on the planet IMO and massively underrated.

[dingbat2]

After Elbow, my next favourite band. Excellent live, they are so suited to Glasto. Gutted it seems like things are not working out anymore. I think there is no chance this year unfortunately. Hopefully they will sort things out and be back at Glasto in 2013.

Doves on the Pyramid in 2005 is a personal highlight for me. Loved them in the grey drizzle that evening, especially when they played Satelites.
