Strange that the UK includes Scotland, England, Ireland & Wales... but the tour is in England... So why call it a UK Tour? False advertising!!!... Typical Sony.. Clueless.. !!!

There's so much wrong with this, I hardly know where to start.

Firstly, if there are no dates on the roadshow before Birmingham, surely the tour is from Birmingham to London, not vice versa?

Secondly, when the roadshow is in Birmingham, it's going to be "based out of the Rainbow Rooms." Okay, in what location is it going to be, if it's "out of the Rainbow Rooms"? Or do you mean it's going to be IN the Rainbow Rooms?

Thirdly, moving on to the arches of Waterloo Station, would these be the arches in Mepham Street or Leake Street or somewhere in between? I went to a screening of The Battle of Algiers in the arches off Leake Street a couple of months ago. It was highly atmospheric and very well presented but I think that's officially called the Old Vic Arches, so perhaps that won't be the venue Sony's using.

Finally, the caption under the picture says "Sony has announced a UK roadshow that will tour through London, Birmingham and beyond!" Is there something you're not telling us - another venue after London, maybe?
