ATM Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding) possible UK tour autumn 2019

by 10 Comments

I appreciate that I only post here once in a blue moon and that’s generally gig reviews, but some of you may be able to help. Both Retro and Rigid have both expressed an interest in Mr Stace (aka John Wesley Harding) following reviews that I’ve posted.

I’ve been in contact with Wes about organising a UK tour and he’s keen. I’m not a promoter just a fan hoping to break even on the venture and Wes just wants to do something low key. If this happens it’s likely that it will take place this autumn, so:

– Would anybody be interested in putting on a house concert? You’ll need a place that can accommodate about 30 people

– Any other ideas regarding low key venues?

I’ve currently got possibilities lined up for Reading, Hereford and Liverpool.

Indigo Girls klaxon

by 12 Comments

Tickets are now on sale for The Indigo Girls, who will be here in July.

Not my favourite band, but one I like a lot, but more to the point, ever since I first discovered them, some 20 years or more ago, they’ve never been over here on tour (but I stand to be corrected on that). Certainly this is the first time I’ve been aware of them touring and from what I’ve read they are a tremendous, formidable live band.

Dates confirmed are:

Thursday 20 July, RNCM Theatre, Manchester; Friday 21 July, Albert Hall, Nottingham; Saturday 22 July, The Leadmill, Sheffield; Monday 24 July, Birmingham Town Hall, Birmingham; Tuesday 25 July, Bierkeller, Bristol; Wednesday 26 July, Concorde 2, Brighton; Saturday 29 July, Islington Assembly Hall, London; Sunday 30 July, Islington Assembly Hall, London.

I’ve got tickets for the 29th.

Possibly a couple more dates can be added into that schedule. No dates in Scotland I note.
