Ive seen them in Cafe Oto earlier this year, so dont have the budget to see them again, but I`m sure the show will be great (the 2 shows in Cafe Oto were brilliant)
Dont forget to report afterwards!

The concert was rescheduled for Saturday March 4. Anyone going? I flying to London on Friday and if anyone will meetup for a beer or two, I am in!
Just want to point out the presence of Charles Hayward (ex-Gong) and Chris Cutler (ex-Gong, Henry Cow).
Lol, saying "Charles Hayward (ex-Gong)" is like saying Daniel Denis (ex-Magma).
Without denigrating Gong, his stint there doesnt really merit a mention when you see the entire output and influence of this man on forward thinking music.
Charles' former band Gong (haha) are playing Paris on March 4, and since a Paris date has been added for This Heat (March 15)... Have a great gig !

I have two tickets for the Barbican gig next Saturday which I won't be able to use. If anyone UK based wants them, PM me and I can post them to you. I'm not particularly looking to get paid, but it's a shame if they go to waste.
^ a slight problem arises, in that I now can't find the bloody things
I would humbly submit that Hayward"s involvement with Gong was important to some people who might never have heard of This Heat otherwise. One could also say that his membership in Gong (however brief) was important to Gong (at the time) given that they didn't have drummer and would not have been able to play any shows. Finally, keep in mind the words of the late Daevid Allen: "Pretty soon everyone will be Gong".
Quiet sun !
