He must be in his seventies now.

Hell yes!
I actually rate the Mott albums on Island more than the glam stuff. Brain Capers is fecking fantastic! Heavy metal and punk before it's time. Unfortunately, i doubt he'll play any of that though.
Anyway, it'll be worth it - good venue upstairs at the Komedia and at a decent price aswell.

I think its disgusting that he is allowed out to do this kind of thing, after what he did to those two poor little girls.

What. Is that as sick as I think it is.

I saw him play in the Duke of Wellington Shoreham once, with (the late)Mick Ronson and Millar Anderson.
Fantastic. Ian had a place in Worthing for a while.
A (minor) claim to fame, going back a few years when I was in local bands, but I was standing in Montague St, Worthing once, talking to Ian and Miller, people who had had number ones, been in T-Rex, performed at Woodstock etc. .... and someone came up to me to ask for my autograph !

The guy's a legend, and I saw him a few years back, in Bristol, with the Rant Band - did a brilliant track called 'Good Samaritan'.
Mott the Hoople are one of my all-time favourite bands - they were great at commercial singles (All the Young Dudes, All the Way From Memphis, Roll Away the Stone, etc) and rock-orientated album tracks ('Drivin' Sister', 'Violence', 'Marionnette', 'Crash Street Kids', etc). They could also do ballads - 'Hymn for the Dudes', 'Saturday Gigs'.
He did some great stuff after leaving Mott, too: his first solo single 'Once Bitten Twice Shy' is an all-time classic, and then the [Mick] Hunter-Ronson Band did some great tracks. I've got their live double CD, 'Welcome to the Club', which has rousing tracks like 'Cleveland Rocks' and 'Standing in my Light'.
Enjoy the gig; you'll be in the presence of a genuine bona fide rock-god

I saw him back in 1979-80 at the Hammersmith Odeon, and bought the LP as it was then, 'Welcome to the club'. Still got it in the loft, but can't play it as I don't have a record player anymore.

Anyone out there remember his book : Diary of a Rock n Roll Star. A great read - sadly I`ve lost my copy.

I also read it many years ago and really enjoyed it. Some years ago i bought a album by Mott who were some of his band, i can't for the life of me remember the songs on the album or the members of the band but i remember really liking it. Sadly I've not got the album anymore,
