    who?

    Gigs in leisure land are always sh*t anyway. No matter who plays that place can suck the soul out of anything.

    He was the lead singer with the Smiths an excellant preformer - but it is a matter of taste.

    I got my ticket already. He played in the Black Box around 5 years ago. The Smiths played in Leisureland in the early 80's.

    He is such a brilliant performer. He just owns the stage.

    Check out this live video of him....

    I saw him in the black box, it was about 1999or 2000. There was a stage invasion at the end. There was some serious hard core fans at that gig.

    With ease. Grown middle aged men were jumping up on stage and kissing him and them jumping back into the crowd.

    I saw Morrissey in the National Stadium, Dublin (a dodgy boxing venue) in the early 90's. It turned into a mini riot with literally hundreds of people gettin onto the stage to embrace the great man, Morrissey. At one stage there were 20 to 25 people on the stage and I couldn't see Morrissey.

    That venue was understaffed but they called in 'back up' who cleared the stage and the concert continued.

    Unf*ckingbelieveable.

    Sorry don't like Morriseey or The Smiths. I don't really like celebrities that talk politics, I get the trying to use their fame for good..but then do charity work or something, I don't want to get a lecture when I'm at a gig. so Booooo to Morrissey!

    Class - hes has got unbeleivable style and panache - TBH though I fear majority of his fans are now older which may make for a lacklustre atmosphere. Is he gay?

    Agreed. Although having their instrument cases littering the sides of the hall because there's nowhere else to put 'em make it feel soooo like a small town where the local school hall is the only concert venue in town.

    I doubt he is sold out, checked for tickets a while back and they seemed to be available. Not sure if im going to go so if I dont I'l' put the ticket up on Adverts and give you a Pm to let you know its there. Im sure it wont be hard to get a ticket.
    Anyone heard if there is a support act?

    There were still tickets there a few weeks ago in Zhivago. Fifty squid for a gig in Leisureland is a bit pricey.

    Thanks. Just got tickets there on ticketmaster, happydays. Checked in Ballina a few weeks back and they were all sold out so people must have returned some or something. Whatever happened it's all good, Morrissey live:D
