They've had a couple of changes over the years. Alan Barton, (of Blacklace~Agadoo fame), replaced the original Smokie lead singer. Alan Barton went to the great Smokie in the sky in mid-90's, I think the tour bus crashed if I recall correctly. I don't know who the lead is now.
I think £35 isnt that bad,we dont get that many good "famous" bands up here after all! I paid £28 for the Saw Doctors 2 years ago and wasnt complaining at that either,I cant wait for Smokie!x
The nice thing about living in a small place is that if you dont know what you are doing....there's always somebody who does,or thinks they do! x
Am just surprised Wickerman hasn't been on here already to chastise you all for having the indecency to question the price. For what it's worth, Smokie's show in Dundee is £22.50.
Chaos descends in DR Simpsons as the price of the tickets to see Smokie is revealed:-
£70 is not dear if u enjoy listening to them some people smoke that in a week or drink it on a friday night.
Imagine if u was a smokie fan and they were playing in inverness only look how much that would cost to drive down and back up plus the hasstle of driving.
In this day and age if a couple can go out for a nights worth of quality entertainment for £100 thats reasonable in this day age with the cost of things
I had to google them

I was never behind it to 'Get over it', the original post was merely my opinion and observation on something that makes no sense to me, i wouldn't be going if it was free, or even if Smokie were paying me a tenner to attend, but that doesn't mean i can't voice my opinion on the ridiculous price for a ticket.
it's a shame it's so dear - i'd have loved to have gone but again by time you pay £70 for 2 tickets it's a very dear night.... got other priorites for that kinda money right now
Think £35.00 is a bit steep.Ocean Colour Scene are playing in the Assembly rooms next year and tickets are only £28.50.
If i really wanted to see Smokie then i would pay the £35.00 as moaning about it on here is not going to bring the price down!!!!
Hopes everyone who is going has a great night.
I am looking forward to going! Aged 20 should be a good ngt out, it's what ive been brought up listening to!
It's been advertised for long enough, so the price to me isn't a big deal . The way I look at it, it's on our doorstep so you have no digs, travel or food to pay for (+ your day shopping in the city )along with your drinks which would work out a lot more expensive!
Really looking forward to it and a lot of people I have spoken to will be there!
Good on Robert for giving it a go and bringing something different to Caithness!
