Looks like there are a lot of tickets available - will check seat filler sites.

(sssh - will let you guys know on the QT if they become available)

Surely something should pop on a seat filler front. Gonna be a big echo

I really like Chilly Gonzales' shows when he's only playing piano, not doing singing or rap; This is probably why its half empty, his piano solo work is amazing, the rest is subpar and people got the word on this tour, its rap.

It's tempting just to get one of those posh boxes all to yourself. Only 64 quid. Think of the insta flex.

Can't say I have ever seen RAH shows on sest fillers sites.

 Saw UB40 at RAH with seat filler. So it does happen.

However would have expected something a few days ahead of the event.

Can't stop playing the cover of Private Dancer. It's soooo good. I'd love to hear a studio version. C'mon, as Andy said, Room 30 pls.

And the power to have over those old enough in the audience that know the song (I think I was in utero when Tina's version was a hit. 40 next month...help The aged...) - the ripples of laughter in the crowd watching Jarvis straight-faced, unsure if he was taking the piss or not. While there must have been plenty of people that enjoyed it for what it was and recognised it was just Jarvis being himself.

Wonderful interpretation either way.


The Telegraph said:

Enter Jarvis Cocker, stage left, to sing Turner's Private Dancer. Backed by Gonzales on piano, the duo sounded like a backstreet Flanders and Swann. The 1980s creation managed to drip with both crepuscular sleaze and pathos, with Cocker doing his signature pointy-finger dance as he reached the climactic "Do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?" line. It sounded like the lost B-side to Pulp's This is Hardcore, and proved that, in good hands, a well-structured song can be gloriously reinvented to the whims of the performer.
