In the words of Jimmy Saville, 'now then, now then, now then' I think we're missing something in this 'ere 'Dark Side Tour' thread. If you saw Paddy during this tour why not leave your messages for Rod who has been fantastic as Paddy's support act!!! I thought he rightly deserved a thread of his own and all messages posted here will be sent to him by yours truly, so get posting (thumbs up)

Hiya Rod, well I've been to many of Paddy's shows during his 'The Dark Side Tour' (my first show was in Blackburn on 9th November last year...can you believe it's almost a year since this tour started :o ) anyway, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your set at each of the shows I went to... I won't say how many because it's just plain scary, even for me! Despite the fact I've been to so many of these shows, unfortunately I never got the opportunity to meet you to let you know in person how much I enjoyed your set. You're a top bloke, incredibly funny and I very much hope to see more of your shows in the future. You have many supporters here at this forum and the crowds loved you at Paddy's shows. Keep up the great work and I wish you nothing but the best for the future.

Hey Rod.
I saw you twice during Paddy's tour (the first being in Ilkley and the second one in Harrogate) and I have to say you were FANTASTIC!! My friend who came to the Ilkley show with me preferred you over Paddy but I like you both just as equal as each other.
It's been a fantastic tour and I can't wait for Paddy's next tour so that I can hopefully see you again as his support act... again.
All the best for a brilliant guy. You deserve it.
:D
Love Lesley x

(PS: I'm sorry for the heckling at Ilkley... *ahem*)

Hi Rod i came to see Paddys show at Middleton civic centre and i thought you were both absolutly brilliant! You a really funny guy as you can tell from the crowds reaction! I hope you carry on touring with Paddy because your a great team! Best of luck in future, We hope to see more of you!

Well Done Rod, you've been great. I've really enjoyed your jokes, especially the ganster rap ones and your fantastic song!
Hope you get to do your own tour one day because you deserve it and you will have all of our support because we are addicted already!!!
Good luck for the future especially for the DVD, I can't wait to see what Paddy has done to you in the extras with your new nick name -something about you smelling of pee?!?!?!
Anyway, take care and thanks for taking the time out to have a gab after the shows.
Love Kegs

Now then Son!!

As I keep saying to you, you've done a fab job. Shame I didn't get to see that crackin' suit of yours for the last time in Plymouth ;) but regardless of that you've been a fantastic performer, and a superb warm up for Paddy!! It's also been a pleasure to get the opportunity to have a chat with you on several occasions.

You'll have to let us know when you do your own tour so we can all go out and get tickets to see you on your todd, doing what you're so good at!!! And I promise next time I'll try not to wind you up and make you blush!!! ;)

Congratulations Rod. You deserve every success in the future!! (thumbs up)

Hi Rod

Just a few words to say a HUGE thank you to you for being such an incredibly funny and extremely entertaining guy, and also for being such a down to earth and approachable person!

I've been lucky enough to have seen you on three occasions now on Paddys tour, and have managed to meet you for piccies and a chat on two of those occasions.

You are a really funny guy who made me laugh such a lot, in fact I think I said to you in one of the e-mails I sent to you (which you very kindly repsponded to by the way...thank you also for taking the time out to do that!)....that I thought you were equally as funny as Paddy but not to tell him that of course Ha Ha!

Anyway, just want to say thanks for everything Rod, and can't wait for you to do a tour of your own as I will definitely definitely come to see you without a doubt!!

The very best of luck for the future and here's to every success with whatever project you are involved in next! I am sure that you will be a huge success in your own right and I will support you every step of the way! (thumbs up)

Cheers Rod!! :D

Love & (((HUGS))) Karen Pickersgill xxx
