This is correct, James said it back in October.

What do you expect the opening song in the 1st half to be?
Autumnsong - if they get it out of the way then they do not have to bear witness to all but 2 people heading to the bar.

What do you expect the closing song in the 1st half to be?
SKON - so they don't have their feelings hurt when people start heading back to the bar.

What do you expect the opening song in the 2nd half to be?
The Everlasting - nice, gentle way of getting back into it.

What do you expect the closing song in the 2nd half to be?
Motown Junk - hopefully for all of you there they shall do it in full, and Sean and Nicky will smash everything up as James shouts "we destroy rock and roll".

Who do you expect will guest with them on stage?
Nina, probably - would be nice if they brought out some wildcard guest vocalists - where's Kylie these days?

How Many Wire costume changes do you anticipate?
38

and on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you?
5. not sour grapes or jealousy, i really just think the idea of doing just the singles, even if it is the singles, is fucking boring. the 5 is purely because it will be all Manics fans there seeing the band for the last time for at least a year or so - Manics fans know how to befriend, get along and have a fucking good time.

James joked with me and my friends that he would change from one black shirt into another black shirt.

I don't expect one though, because what the band release and how they release it is seemingly becoming increasingly byzantine, and even if they did it I expect you'd have to collect tokens on cereal boxes, staple them to a monkey and then dance around a kumquat on a tuesday evening to be in with a chance of giving them more money for such a product.

Martin Hall said to Manicbird and Quinbo they're not sure about filming it. They're erring on the side of not filming as it's added pressure when they just want to enjoy the gig. But he didn't say an all-out no! There's hope yet!

With one month to go until the National Treasures gig:

What do you expect the opening song in the 1st half to be? You Love Us
What do you expect the closing song in the 1st half to be? Empty Souls

What do you expect the opening song in the 2nd half to be? Motown Junk
What do you expect the closing song in the 2nd half to be? Design For Life

Who do you expect will guest with them on stage? Nina, Gruff. Hoping for Kylie

How Many Wire costume changes do you anticipate? Many. 5?

and on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you? 8. I'm excited about the gig, but my only reservation is that I'm going with my non-fan other half and he'll probably whinge about queueing.

I want a Moore/Wire trashing session. Badly.

Of course! But if I see a Moore/Wire trashfest, I will die happy. Though hopefully, not on the same night.

If they trashed some stuff as confetti falls down from above that'd be pure magic and the best Christmas present I could hope for!! I guess to make this work they'd have to end on Motown Junk, so yeah, I'll hope for Design for Life at the end of the 1st set.

I'd be rather angry if they trashed stuff, some people have to do do proper jobs to save for things they want so its a bit sick when you see someone smashing something up because they think it looks cool, anyway they are too old to do stuff like that now

I'm fairly sure they have jobs, though.
