I think Colin makes something of a valid point.

I've long considered it would be a huge boost to the TT if a really big top band could be booked for TT fortnight the sort of band that would sell ticket to people who have no real interest in the TT itself but would pay anything to see that band while those people are in the Island they soon discvery the joys of real road racing.

Book the like of U2 or Led Zep and watch the tickets fly even the Stones would bring in huge numbers of punters...............
