Tomorrow, tickets go on sale to see Portishead in April at the Corn Exchange (which I think actually used to be an abbatoir). As well as Edinburgh, they're playing Manchester, Wolverhampton and some southern hamlet called "London". I'm quite tempted, as I didn't manage to see them in '92 because the Glastonbury stage they were on had impenetrable crowds filling the entire area you could see it from. I'd been in some very big and packed crowds even then, but this one was actually quite worrying (although how I'd rate it after the Elephant I don't know).
I see on the Half Man Half Biscuit site that there's no further information on this new album they've mentioned, but that they are playing in Sheffield, Ulverston and Nottingham soon.
Note also the existance of Irish Half Man Half Biscuit tribute band Half Arsed Half Biscuit.
