You’ve still got time to go see The Boss!
IF you are the only councillor in your political party, you rarely get a three-hour session with the Boss.
Which is perhaps why Islington’s sole Green Party councillor is going twice to hear Bruce Springsteen christen the Emirates stadium as a music venue this weekend.
Devoted Boss-fan Cllr Katie Dawson is going tonight (Friday) and tomorrow night to see the Ashburton Grove stadium host its first rock concerts.
The last few tickets at the 60,000 seater-stadium are still available from £47.50 on the eve of the gigs, according to the promoters, who urge spur-of-the-moment Springsteen fans to go to or call the official national ticket hotline on 0870 321321.
