I hope getting tickets won't be as bad as the last theatre tour!

It's all kicking off for Will at the moment.

He has two houses - one in Holland Park and a holiday home in Cornwall.

I've still got some flashing badges and glo sticks from the last tour, I never got round to using them. I'm so excited about the tour, never expected it at all.

You are right. This has really come out of the blue. If anything I would have thought he would do another arena tour after the Keep On tour was so successful. I am glad he is doing a theatre tour as it is more about the music and not so much about spectacle. We know he can do spectacle!

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a jazz section (a la Ronnie Scott's) in the set up?

Remember that he hasn't released for 3 years. This is probably testing the waters. If the album took off I expect there could be an Arena Tour aswell in 2009. He did that with Fridays Child if I remember rightly - first the theatre tour and then the big one. For me I much pefer the intimacy of the theatre tours, it's more about the music and less about putting on a show - although both the Arena Tours have been brilliant.

Yes I think you're right, although he might add a few Arena dates for December at the end of this one and do a summer concert tour in 2009? I have very fond memories of Tatton Park and Harewood House.

Eastleigh was great - I got in the marquee which was so unexpected.

The tickets for the tour have gone like hotcakes and only a handful are left at most venues but I expect they are holding some back which they usually do.

I am so glad I got my front row tickets for Portsmouth and Row L for Bounemouth!

Another Birmingham date added this morning.

Being off the music scene for over 3 years appears not to have dented his popularity. I'm so pleased fro him. He's such a talent.

I must admit I didn't think he'd be selling so well, but I'm really pleased for him, he's not even got any music out yet and they're adding more tour dates.

The tickets seem to be going like hotcakes - I think it's great that Will is so popular. His appearance at Glastonbury (despite the minimal TV coverage) seems to have helped tremendously.
