[kj] 2012 Tour dates

[Jim Harper]

Is there seriously a Joke gig booked for Exeter next year?
 
I lived in Totnes for many years, until my wife moved her boyfriend in and I ended up in the shithole that is Weston-super-Mare. That part of Devon never gets decent gigs; there was dancing in the streets when Placebo announced they were playing in Torquay, but then the bassist injured his hand. He could still play just fine, but he didn't want to risk not being in tip-top shape for a London gig 3 days down the line. So Torquay was needlessly cancelled, and their promises to return in December came to little.
 
Sorry for the rant, that still pisses me off.
 
If KJ are playing Exeter, I may have to try and go...
 
Jim.

The very same.  The South Hams is quite a beautiful part of the country.
 
Salcombe has become a bit of a 2nd home owners town and is therefore deserted during the winter months which is a real shame, but during the summer there's quite a lot going on.
 
Modbury is just plain nuts!
