In reply to BeyondHope:
he should come to manchester

In reply to BeyondHope:
get him to cum to manchester . he is going to sheffield twice

In reply to BeyondHope:

Is there any reason why this tour isnt being made into a proper UK tour? I am pretty sure there are atleast a couple of people in Scotland who would like to hear what the man has to say.

In reply to BeyondHope:
and a few thousand in manchester

In reply to james oswald:

I reckon that Chris is going to be blown away by the crowds in the UK - Sheffield sold out in under a week - and will come back pretty soon for a full blown tour. It's a pretty tight schedule as it is - 12 lectures in 12 days (5 in Norway). I'm working on getting him to do a bigger tour. If anybody is interested in sorting out a venue for him please contact me. I'm also talking to Dave Graham about coming over and looking for venues.

Cheers,
MattH

In reply to ShAFF:

OK,
I just spoke to Chris and he is willing to squeeze in another two shows, one on the afternoon of Saturday the 15th March in Manchester and one on the afternoon of 16th March in Sheffield. I can sort a venue in Sheffield. If there is anybody in Manchester willing to organise a venue please let me know ASAP.

MattH

In reply to telemarker: Second that! Scotland need to be on the tour as well.

In reply to ShAFF: why not contact John Dunne of MCC he might be interested??

In reply to BeyondHope:

Does no one ever come up north? (manchester is not the north)

In reply to peas65:

Tickets for the South Molton lecture are now available online here: http://www.heason.net/HTML/CurrentEvents/HeasonEventsCurrentEvents200803Chr...

I'm talking to John at the Manchester Climbing Centre, but it look slike it might not work as it's an afternoon gig not an evening one. Anybody else know of a venue?

MattH

In reply to BeyondHope:

Ratho, sorry my bad thats not in Manchester

In reply to BeyondHope:
MEN arena? how much room do u need?

In reply to BeyondHope:
..... any comment on manc

In reply to james oswald:

Unfortunately can't fit him in at Manchester Climbing Centre or Awesome Walls Stockport. Anybody else fancy taking it on? Uni club?

Matt

In reply to BeyondHope:
try heaton mersey tennis club off green lane. leo houlding had a talk there which seated several hundred people. please look into it.
thanks

In reply to ShAFF:

Hi Matt.

I sent you an email and a text, I hope I'm on the list for twop tickets to the extra show in Sheffield? It's my boyfriends birthday and I'd love to sort it for him. He was gutted he couldn't get tickets.

Michelle

In reply to BeyondHope:
try finding out if heaton mersey tennis/ lax/ cricket club is hiring for then. really quite a decent sized venue

In reply to james oswald:

I'm too busy with ShAFF coming up to actually organise this so am looking for somebody else to take it on. There's the potential to earn some good money!

Cheers,
MattH

In reply to andymoin: Aye, hardly a UK tour. More like an English tour, with a token Welsh visit.

In reply to MattH: Will talk to manchester uni club, see if we can get a lecture theatre or something

In reply to MattH:
yep im 17 and eager to earn cash!
so when would chris be available to lecture? how many seats needed?
the quicker you reply the quicker i find one.
p.s how much?

In reply to james oswald:

Hi James,
Call me on 07966 529219.
MattH

In reply to BeyondHope: Hi, its a real shame he can't get to The Barn in Launceston Simon Youngs wall? it would be amazing to see him there - its a proper hard core climbers wall!

In reply to BeyondHope:
which venues are there remaining tickets for?

In reply to MattH:
Have a venue near Edinburgh that gets lots of climbers through the door every night - any chance Chris will travel this far?

In reply to whispering nic:

Sorry nic,
Not on this trip, but the next one...
Email me and I'll keep your details and get in touch when it happens.
Matt

In reply to ShAFF:


Any news on the other extra sheffield show? Ticket availability? venue etc?
Thanks
Ian

hi, no chance of chris coming to edinburgh then? EICA possibly?

In reply to BeyondHope:

So he's going to be at nowheresville in Devon and he's not coming to Newcastle? What is that all about? We've got shops up here that do Prana and Evolv, but that's obviously of no concern. Speak to the guys in Wildtrak and sort out some big venue. I have to say this all seems like a joke. Why is Heason completely botching this up and what have Beyond Hope got to do with it?

In reply to Murdy: Get real folks. With a limited stay the guy cannot get everywhere. You cannot expect people to put on a gig round the corner from you just because a handfull of people have a moan.
Like Matt says, sort out a venue provisionally, with option dates and get back to him. It's good that Matt is busy and it offers opportunities to others.
I've done this three times now and should be announcing a big event at a major venue for September soon.
What's wrong with a bit of travelling? Why can you Manchester folks not get on a train to Sheffield?
Stop moaning and do it.
Colin H

In reply to Murdy:

Chris Sharma is sponsored by, amongst others, Prana and Evolv, that are distributed by Beyond Hope in the UK.

And yes, this isn't a major 6 week lecture tour, but a week, lots of places have missed out.

In reply to Murdy:

Not sure if you are trying to get a rise or not. The venues that Chris is talking at whilst here are the ones who were keen at the time of booking. I;ve since received a number of enquiries for Chris should he come back again. Assuming that this tour goes well I am hoping to invite him back next winter. If you want to host him in yoru area please let me know.

MattH

In reply to MattH:
