Apologies if this has already been dealt with, i have had no internet access for 2 weeks ,( i will read all the threads i missed Bodo) but thought it scandalous that both "Cecilia" and BITB were omitted from the broadcast .

I didn´t hear any hecklers.

On the front row....well I was there along with several members of the amps newsgroup. Had to queue for several hours before though.

How did you get tickets Julie?

As to the heckle - he was reported in one review to have shouted ´How would you know?´ to somebody - but I didn´t really understand the context!
Did Paul Gambiccini actually stand on stage to do his intro (which i thought was very nice!)
Did you see Billy Bragg? Any other celebreties? Did you get a chance to see Simon afer the show?

He did give that response to someone (or something similar) but I don´t think it was in response to a heckle ! I´ll try and find out.

Paul Gambaccini actually did the intro twice and we were all asked to clap suitably enthusiastically during it. Yes he did stand on stage whilst doing it.

No celebreties spotted Although I doubt if I´d spot one if I fell over one. We waited after the show but he was driven out in a car with blacked out windows.
