The Stranglers: Last Few Tickets Left
Thursday, 9th July, 2009 at 9:43 am, Isle of Wight
Get your tickets fast for The Stranglers playing Ryde Theatre tonight as we hear that there are just a few left.
The iconic band will be gracing our shores today and warming up at Ryde Theatre for their performance at Guilfest tomorrow night.
We understand that nearly 600 tickets have been sold, so it’ll be the busiest we’ve seen Ryde Theatre for a very long time.
Just goes to show that if you get quality acts on the Island, the venues can sell out.
The atmosphere should be electric tonight as White Man Kamikaze provide support. Check out their MySpace for a sample of their Doors on speed sound.
We bumped into the lads from the band last night at The Buddle Inn, so suspect they’ll be checking out the Island today. If you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of them before tonight. Just look out for the skinny jeans and winkle-pickers (mind you that’s a quarter of the Island).
Anyway, last few tickets remaining so get on the blower asap if you want a piece of tonights action. Call 01983 568099 between 10am-4pm.
It should be a good ‘un.

Thanks for the reminder – they were down to the last six tickets when we called for our two! Great gig. Loved the support, White Man Kamikaze (“The Doors on speed” is about right), and great to see Ryde Theatre packed out for The Stranglers.
Their drummer looks like he should be a department store Santa, but they still rock! Peaches used to be my daughters’ favourite song when they were little (they were oblivious to the rude lyrics; just thought it was a song about fruit and the seaside…).

Was curious to check how old they are. No wonder Jet Black is snowy white these days – he’s 70, a lot older than the others. Burnel’s great at 57 (looks like he’s a regular gym-goer – it can’t be just the guitar playing, or Neil Young would be a lot more honed!). He seemed disappointed when the woman who climbed on the stage to kiss him was called off by security – was very concerned they didn’t throw her out of the gig!

Oh right, just been told J-J Burnell is a black belt in karate. Explains why he can take off his shirt on stage with confidence…

JJ is actually a 1st Dan. Tough as guts, and the attitude of a prize fighter!!!
