Those that know myself and McAnne will know how much we've been looking forward to going to see Depeche Mode on 30th of this month.

Dave Gahan the lead singer was taken ill just before their Athens show.......around about 12th of this month with suspected Gastroenteritis.

They have cancelled all concerts up until 21st......and it looks like they'll be an official announcement today about whether or not anymore will be cancelled ......poss the London one as well :0(

Of course I'm hoping to hear he's well again and it's all still on......and am keeping everything crossed.

3 of my fav groups from the 80s were playing this year and I chose this one over all of them as I could only manage one :0(

Keep your fingers crossed for good news would you please? xx

I remember Depeche Mode!! Hope everything turns out for you and you get to go.

Thanks Alison xx

As jealous as I am of you girls going to see DM I really do hope they dont cancel and you both get to see them.

good luck & fingers crossed

p.s. if it is still on dont forget to take pics ;o)

Who were the other groups?

Aha and Spandau Ballet lol.

Ta Jax will do xx

One of the coolest bands of my teenage years:) I'd quite like to see Aha too lol

Cool! This is pretty sad for a 43 year old but you know what? I have never been to a music concert! Don't know why, friends used to go sometimes but I never seemed to get around to it. Never been to the races either.

I saw Aha many moons ago Uggers and they were really good !!!

Alison.......you must must must go and see a live show. There's absolutely nothing like it !!!xx

Don't suppose going to see "Play School" live in concert when my daughter was 3 counts? I'll try to get to one one day, although I have been to a few very good plays.

:O((


I'm sooo hoping Dave is well and will be fit to perform again soon - not only have i got 30th, I'm also booked to go and see them in Berlin on 10th June as well .......................


Yeah i have Spandau in October - but DM are my idols :O(

I was never really into aha or spandau ballet

I was more into the cure, the smiths, the cult and u2

been trying to talk the OH into getting me u2 tickets for august but theres no shifting him lol

i dont think i could cope with the tantrums if they cancel the gig

im hoping beyond hope its still on
altho then we wil have to hear about it hahahah

Fingers crossed for you both. Did you see them on Jools a couple of weeks ago? MARVELLOUS.

5 weeks today for me to go to Glastonbury...I can't wait!

;o))

Heidi - like we would miss that lol (well we nearly did ooops) - but yes have it recorded and saved for prosperity :O)


Hope you've got ya wellies packed lol xx

Ooh McAnne, it's going to be BRILLIANT sunshine that week...Yep, I've got me wellies & me pac-a-mac...

;o))

Hmmmm 'sunshine' 'glastonbury' - not two words i've ever seen in a sentence together lolol - but i keep my fingers crossed for you :O))

I'm very jealous of you going to Glastonbury Heidi and I HOPE for once it stays dry for you all.

Though ...as you know........it's the thought of those loo's that put me off !!!! *shudders* xx

I've been to Glastonbury twice (many years ago lol) and I think we had one half day of rain in total - I must be lucky or the climate really IS changing!
He must've been really ill for this amount of gigs to be cancelled, normally you're back to normal within a week. Hope you girls don't miss out!

ah yes the lovely long-drops - foul foul foul

then there's the fact that the blokes go and wee by the trees/fences at the edge of the site, so if you are unlucky enough to have your tent there :-(((

and of course the hotter and drier the weather, the stinkier the loos, so there are some advantages to lower temperatures and rain!

one lasting memory is of walking round to a neighbouring farm, and joining a queue for fresh milk - straight from the cow through the filter into our jugs - delicious!

don't remember huge amounts of the rest of it - can't imagine why pmsl ;-))
