Anyone have problems with refunds from the Town & Country Club for the rescheduled show on 10th August ? Tina Clarke from Windlesham in Surrey did. Country Club informed everyone that tickets for the original Alexandra Palace show must be exchanged before the 4th August, though the box office at the T & C said that a refund would be given at the door. On the day, however, the box office refused to give a refund before entry and after waiting for two hours to be at the front of the queue, she was told that if she wanted a refund, she would have to go to the ticket sales queue, which was already very lengthy. Rather than miss the chance to be at the front of the crowd, she decided to forfeit the refund, but as she says..."I would have paid double my ticket price...another excellent evening" Quite why the box office couldn't have given a refund before the doors open is beyond me.
Channel 4's Teletext service, 10 July, page 543 "Heart of the World", reviewed by Jon Homer. "Brand new song from Stuart and the boys. and another slice of anthemic guitar rock that manages to be as powerful as the loudest heavy metal band, but several times more effective and intelligent. A minor hit perhaps."
(Very minor - Ed)

A rumour that has crossed my path recently was that Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) used to be a roadie for Big Country in the very early days. Anyone shed any light on this ?
