Guest Kolla Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 If you can't make the Manchester date, Mr Brown is also making two further appearances:- 30th June at the Glasgow Apollo and 2nd July at the Hammersmith Apollo, London (although according to HIS website he's giving a private show in NY that night) Link to comment
Guest Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Whilst I welcome the appearance of James Brown in our fair city of Manchester, it doesnt entirely square with the Detroit theme given that he was born in South Carolina, grew up in Augusta, Georgia while King records were based in Cincinatti, Ohio. Town full of bloody pedants... Seriously though, this looks a fantastic do. Adam Link to comment
