Low Attendance Roger kicked off his 2013 Wall show in Holland on the 18th July to a half empty Arena in Arnhem Holland. The show was added very late in the planning of the tour, so that may account for poor ticket sales. In any event the crowd seemed to enjoy themselves and reviews, pictures & videos are now available. Arnhem Holland (Added 19 July)
Here We Go Again! Preparations are well underway for Roger’s 2013 leg of The Wall show. First pictures are now in of the stage at Arnhem Holland and we are delighted to tell you that AFG contributor Simon Wimpenny is again sharing his most excellent BLOG with us all and assisting AFG with our coverage of the tour.
