This is fine question! I thought about it seriously... for me, actually it would matter :) but first, some obvious things, I get addicted by ears, not by eyes, so I don't speak about being black, gay, or even a woman :D Hey, George Michael is gay but I really do like his music, it just doesn't chan...

Just wanted to let you know that you can listen all the samples of Blue Guitars at http://www.amazon.de, my God it´s going to be a hell of a box of music

thank you for that. what a shame amazon.co.uk do not have the samples.

Hi Pam, Plymouth is too far away for me sadly, as I would have loved to meet you. I am trying for Newcastle, which is the nearest to where I live. What brilliant seats you have got!!!!!! I hope I do as well. Iam away on holiday for a fortnight, and have been ill, :( so I hope there are some tickets...

I've just decided - Chris Rea fans are such lovely people!!

I have most of the albums, but interestingly, I still do not have a copy of Stony Road - when I lived in Cyprus, it was available as a 'bootleg' in the tourist shops, but I thought I should wait so that Chris receives full royalties for the disc (is there an emoticon with a halo??!!) - so the last I...

An update on my previous posting!! Bought two tickets (me and husband) from Hottickets@getlive.co.uk for Plymouth Pavilions in April - four rows from the front - hope to see some of you there.

I posted in another topic that, if you heard the new versions of some old songs on the tour last year, you will know that the 'blues' were always there, just not so obvious. I vote for a mix of old and new songs, new versions of old songs would be FAB

My husband is abroad at the moment - he has also just heard about the tour and sent me an email. We will be going to the gig at the Pavillions in Plymouth - hope to see some of you there!!!

It is sad that it is billed as farewell tour - but Chris should be taking care of his health

More new members - hi there! If anyone would like to suggest a date/time suitable for all, perhaps we could be on-line at the same time to chat for real!!

You don't know how long I waited to have other Rea fans to discuss with :) Anyway it seems to me that "RTH 2" is underrated by most of you, so I need to ask you what's wrong with that? Since having a CD player in the car, I have been listening to whole albums again - not just Chris Rea, t...

Welcome Steve - I am quite a newcomer to this site. Yes it is nice to get news about Chris, even though I appreciate that he values his privacy very highly. Did you see the tour last year??

Zgred you sum up very nicely the whole concept of music - and other art, perhaps - that it is a very personal thing and we do not all like the same things. It is great that we can discuss and hear other's views. Of course I agree that albums of any artist usually contain stronger and weaker tracks -...

Are there any that are not great?? :roll: Sometimes they take a bit of getting used to. I remember hearing 'Let's Dance' for the first time and thinking that Chris had gone all commercial. But in the context of the whole 'Dancing with Strangers' album, it seemed perfect. The tour that year was amazi...
