Padjeq Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just remembered seeing Funeral for a Friend the second time. Birmingham Academy 05 or 06. Great set etc, encore ends and a man gets on the tannoy to announce there's been a terrorist threat on Birmingham city centre and the entirety of town has been evacuated and we must walk away immediately. We all plough out onto Dale End to discover a ghost town. No people, no cars, no buses, just space and silence. This was post 7/7 so they were really taking things seriously - everyone other than someone at the academy, who got the evacuation order and decided to let us stay 40 minutes past it while the show continued. Fair play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn’t expect them to fly out that quickly but I suppose people gagging to get back at gigs, and with it being a Friday night, I was a fool to think otherwise. Gonna keep trying.

Mouseboy11 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Also forgot Cardiff tickets went on sale and they've sold out both dates straight away. I'm a bit skint anyway so probably for the best, I'll look for a spare nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Heh. My band supported Funeral for a Friend back in the day. I say "supported", they probably didn't even know we played before them, but there you go. My only claim to fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny what a four year break up can do. Granted the ‘first three albums’ thing is the real cherry on top for this tour, but I’m pretty sure they’d been demoted to smaller venues and dwindling crowds before they decided to call it a day and now it’s all selling out ASAP.
