Yep Ben, you had an opinion and you stated it. People shouldn't knock you for that. It's better to talk about things rather than letting them boil under anyway.

I can see one London show in the Ode period (+1 Hard Rock Café which was a competition or something) but about 4 in 2007. There's a few which are close-ish to London but I can completely understand if people couldn't make them. I travelled about 900 miles to see them 3 times and I was lucky that the gigs coincided with other reasons to travel. Given that I live in a ridiculously remote place, I'm glad that they go round many different cities rather than just stopping off in Bristol, Manchester, London, Birmingham etc like a lot of other bands. |

| I haven't read all the pages (sorry!) but all I have to say is that I'm very happy Travis have played in Spain lots of times although they've never been a massive band here. Of course there are many places they would love to visit but they can't. I'm sure it's not their fault. |

They've been to Finland once, I think it was 2001, a festival in the sticks (I wasn't there).
Even Morrissey has now been here twice in recent years, even though it's not the World's most exciting concert venue for an artist (there's only 5,2 million or so of us in the whole country, so the record sales are bound to be small). Britney paid a visit this week and Madonna is coming in August. I'd rather have Travis! |

Safe Side Posted Sun 19 Jul, 2009 4:00 PM |
| So no UK Tour then? lol i have to admit that the album wasnt toured in the way a band looking to sell loads of records in the UK would normally tour but i think on this one the guys are rich and settled and happy enough to just wanna go see other places n rock there balls off, i cant say im not jealous cause i am the but im fairness ive seen Travis 6 times since TBWNN came out (would have been 7 if those assholes in Edinburgh let me in...but thats another story) I'm happy everyone else is gettin a chance to see them just jealous im not gettin my fix haha....also before the Tour ends they need to come and play Ode in the Barras in Glasgow just to rock its mind. |

| Guys ive just visited this message board after a few weeks so im a bit out of touch. I know everybody cares and when that happens everybody wants to have an opinion but can we just refrain from having negative discussions such as this as it does nothing but upset people. I strongly agree with Fran, we all know from going to their gigs how hard they work their socks off and put on a performance and trying to satisfy everybody around the world is a tough ask so we should be grateful that we got 20 shows in god knows 2 years or so, thats a lot if you ask me. the only bands who do more at home are those who have a small fan base abroad. Anyway, bottom line be appreciative, grateful and talk aboutr all things good and positive |
