It seems that J will not in fact be playing music on Friday, but will instead be reading a selection of his favourite poetry.

What other reason can there be for these gems found on the back of the ticket for Friday :-

"Mobile phones and pagers must be turned off, and watches silenced, before entering the auditorium". Watches silenced ?????? Are they worried that an electric watch that bleeps hourly will drown out JM&TF ?

"Latecomers will not be admitted until a suitable break in the performance". (Presumably after the main set and whilst J has a slash before the encore starts !)

Let’s hope J reads us some Pam Ayres.

No – The Pavillion is 200 years old. It looks sturdy enough, but with J in town best not take any chances.

Instead, they’ve booked the Pavillion Theatre – which is part of the Brighton Dome complex. It is next door to the Royal Pavillion, so expect some minor external damage to occur due to the noise.

Brighton is not yet sold out – I got a ticket from the Pavillion Box Office today. Going to Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday and Brighton on Saturday. 2 very different venues – A friend descibes the Pavillion as ‘Tiny’ and a strange choice by J. Nevertheless, I doubt it will be as loud as The Astoria last December !
