Hayseed Dixie / Tholtan Builders TICKETS

Hi, we've had a lot of enquiries about tickets for the Hayseed Dixie / Tholtan Builders gig on the 31st. If you've been ringing the Gaiety then apparently up until today they were saying they didn't know anything about the gig, but today they are saying that it is on but they still don't have tickets available. And it's not listed on their own website, but...

THE GIG IS DEFINITELY ON THE 31ST MAY!

Latest news is that the tickets should be out by Friday, we aren't organising the gig or the tickets so all we can suggest is to keep ringing the Gaiety box office on 694555

Lenny from Triskel has posted up a thread on Manx Bands about this (and lots of other great gigs he's organised over TT period) so it's probably worth keeping an eye on this too:

Or visit the Triskel website - there's also a link in the sidebar of our front page (the Links section) ;-)

 UPDATE:

Good news - Hayseed Dixie / Tholtan Builders Tickets for the Gig on the 31st (Details Below) are available from 10am Saturday Morning (6th May) from the Gaiety Box Office, call them on 694555

See you down the front!

Latest Hayseed / Tholtan News

Just a quick update to say there are less than 100 tickets left for the Hayseed Dixie / Tholtan Builders extravaganza, so please don't miss out on what is going to be a truly momentous occasion!

Just heard that The Tholtan Builders are playing the Bushy's Tent on Senior Race Day (9th June), as Back Door Slam have unfortunately but very honourably had to pull out as they are playing a charity gig the next night at the Villa.

Support live music this TT week!
