Surprised it's not at Usher Hall, I guess.
Don't think there would be a Leeds venue big enough to do justice, though the triple-room structure at the Brudenell would make it a terrific shout if it was to be stripped very much back.
I read that too. But still - ouch.
Also not surprising. Makes sense that with the cost of everything going through the roof in the last 4 years that the income musicians were making from touring has taken a dent, particularly outside of the arena/stadium level that still make a profit.
Yeah, Edinburgh's not the most affordable of places and, from what I understand, the venue's shite too. Going to give it a miss.
No idea on the other...
