If I remember correctly, KT Tunstall played at Hamilton early last summer just around the time she had her first hit (Big Black Horse & a Cherry Tree). I couldn’t make the meeting :(
I’ve resurrected this thread because of what I discovered when looking at the possibility of going to Sandown on Wednesday evening.
The ‘entertainment’ this time is supplied by an outfit oddly named Wet Wet Wet (are there three of them?). The racing is modest to say the least, only six races with five of them handicaps and none of them top quality.
The admission charge is £37 per head to a combined Members/Tatts enclosure, with kids aged 5-17 charged at £20 (and limited to two kids per adult). Under 5’s are free!
The following afternoon, there’s a better card including a Listed race and only three handicaps – admission to Tatts is £18.
Sounds a bargain, same outfit at Haydock tonight and a mediocre card too for £45/£30.
I like Doncaster’s thinking, having a tribute act instead of big names but charging the same price as normal.

They’re a popular music ensemble (pop group) who, like most who get the racecourse gig this millennium, were big in the 1980’s. Youtube has a comprehensive archive of their back catalogue should you be interested, and I’m sure you are
According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_wet_wet
there would appear to be about four-and-a-half of them
They are one of the UK’s most successful artists to date and have produced some of the country’s best loved pop songs, including hits such as ‘Sweet Little Mystery’, ‘Wishing I Was Lucky’ and ‘Goodnight Girl’. The four-piece band have charted three number one singles and sold in excess of 15 million singles and albums to date, since their debut album, ‘Popped In Souled Out’, went to number one in 1987.
Wet Wet Wet’s biggest international hit was ‘Love Is All Around’, which featured on the soundtrack to the film ‘Four Weddings and A Funeral’ and topped the UK charts for a record breaking 15 weeks in 1994. In 2013 the band completed a hugely successful 12-date ‘Greatest Hits’ tour and released the album ‘Step By Step The Greatest Hits’, which features three new tracks as well as songs from Wet Wet Wet’s impressive back catalogue.
Taken from York Racecourse’s blurb about their forthcoming concert on ‘t’mire next Saturday evening after their rehearsal at SandownYork play host to The Beach Boys on Friday evening…christ, I thought they were all dead
Tickets for both events including the racing "begin at £20 per person for a group of six or more"
Hope that helps APR
PS it’s 4.40am on Sunday morning and most Yorkies must surely be awake, and like me thumb-twiddling away the small hours, for there’s been the mother of thunderstorms rumbling away for a couple of hours – exceptionally wet wet wet
