    Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera, Paul Thompson, and Andy MacKay. Plus various newbies. Can't wait!

    Yep - my first time seeing them - probably my last time too (as presume this is the end of their touring career). Can’t wait too!

    One of my all time favourite bands.
    Always found it very curious why they didn’t make it in a huge way across the pond.
    Got a bit of a following in the trendy East Coast states but elsewhere a bit meh.
    Huge following elsewhere in the world, very talented bunch of musicians with the imperiously smooth and classy Ferry upfront.

    Wanted to but couldn't really afford it.
    Unlike the previous time I saw them at the Black Prince Bexley before Virginia Plain was released  :)
    Hope you enjoy the gig

    They were too quirky for USA.

    Not heard that track…..what album is it on?

    I'm going tonight. 
    The production quality on there albums was always a hi-fi buffs wet dream. Absolutely top notch. My opinion anyway.
    Avalon, a stand out for me.

    I wish I was. Saw them about 10 years ago and they were great. The first two albums were a massive part of my growing up and I still play them regularly. Enjoy.

    I'm hoping his voice is still reasonable.
    It was definitely weaker when I saw him in Hyde Park in 2019.

    Is Your Love Strong Enough and In Every Dream Home a Heartaches……..just two of my favourites amongst many.

    For your Pleasure and Stranded are amongst my favourite albums of all time.

    Flesh and blood for me, just takes me back to when I just left school and started to get into music

    I remember rummaging through my dad's albums and encountering the cover of Country Life when I was young.

    Thanks dad.

    Been a Roxy fan forever, my favourite tracks are "do the strand" and "Amazona". Have a great night to all those going, i hope they play songs from the early days and not their later slow stuff.

    I will be there, not an avid fan but they had an avant garde aura about them which I liked.

    Saw them three times back in the day, one of my fav bands. To be honest never even knew they were still performing live, gutted to be missing it.

    Will never forget first putting this on my turntable. 6 minutes of pure bliss, even though the audience were like the West Stand seeing out a 0-0 draw

    Music was good. But, Bryan Ferry in my view cooler than even Bowie an the Fonz.

    Saw him in Kew Gardens in 2011, and his voice was still spot on. 
    First four albums were massive to me in my teens, but I never really liked the Avalon type stuff. A bit too smooth for me. Used to have a double A side 7” Virginia Plain/Pyjamerama. An all time fave. 
    Name drop alert (I was filming at Buckingham Palace after he was awarded the CBE and Mark Cavendish got the MBE in 2011): He told me that prior to Roxy he was a big cyclist, and belonged to a cycling club. Big fan of Mark Cavendish.

    Same for me JS, I never enjoyed Ferry singing solo, only with Roxy Music so the Avalon type stuff was a no, no.
