SCB 15 Posted April 25, 2005 Personally, I'd prefer some young up and comming local band (I can give BSI a contact number ) so some past it has been who is milking there tiny bit of fame for all it's worth. It won't bother me, I'll still be in the Price of Wales until about 10 minutes before tapes up when I'll run to the ticket office, we'll buy some tickets and then run to our seats. Am I the only one who could prefer to pay a little less and just listed to a cheap local and or just a CD? If you want a local/famous person, I'll mime on the centre green to Tom Jones for £20, unless you look at the big screen you wont know the difference!

Star Lady 5,400 Posted April 26, 2005 I've said it before and been shot down in flames but what the heck . It's Wales...what is Wales famous for?....Male Voice Choirs. Cheap, traditional and as no one really listens to the warm up act anyway (if they are in their seats by then) why not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,441 Posted April 26, 2005 Knowing how Benfield think it will probably be Tony Christie. He will be relatively cheap, have a repetoire of three or four well known songs ( which is enough) and get fans up in the isles to "show me the way...

AndyM 1 Posted April 26, 2005 The best one in recent years was the late, great Edwin Starr. At least he was singing, not miming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shazzybird 10 Posted April 26, 2005 so some past it has been who is milking there tiny bit of fame for all it's worth. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Past it, has beens"!!!! I for one was sat there singing along to Suzi Q and last year Tony Hadley, Nevsy was well impressed I knew the words Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Christophers Dad Posted April 26, 2005 Last year it was Christopher and Ryan Fisher singing,but then that was before the meeting outside Wetherspoons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Tyrrell 16 Posted April 26, 2005 Star Lady, I agree with you. One of the things about England Rugby playing at Cardiff is to get there early and enjoy the Band and Male Voice Choir. A real piece of local culture which is part what travelling is about, in my view. There used to be a Band playing at Wembley before the old one-off World Finals, so the concept is not new. But somehow I don't think it will happen! Shouldn't detract from a good weekend, though. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
