Yep, The Quireboys are planning the biggest tour I've seen them do in recent years.
For anyone unfamiliar with their music, they are a slightly glammy version of The Faces, with Rolling Stones influences thrown in too. Lead singer Spike is best described as 'happily inebriated' at the best of times, which leads to an unpredictable, chaotic live set. Musically though, they are pretty tight, and give a very enjoyable performance.

In recent years, I've been just about the only audio taper (thank you to the person that recorded Glasgow on the Whitesnake tour), although I have a friend who shoots video. Can send live audio to anyone that wants to check them out, and yes, contribute to tickets for anyone thats feeling skint. Tickets arent that much though.
The majority of the band are pro-taping, although I can't speak for the management. The venues don't allow this, so stealth only.
