The 2009 European Tour
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 10:58 pm
grant has touched on this below. But just to update and elaborate on it a little:
I want to share some exciting news for those of you – particularly you Brits -- who haven’t visited the “Gigs” page in a while: I’m coming back across the Pond this fall!
I’m still warm with the memory of my dreamlike 2007 visit -- see Jill’s post in the RAMBLING CONVERSATION section entitled “After England (From Bob’s Manager).”
Now we’re coming back, this time with a 5-show tour that includes a stop in the north, one in the south and two in the central area of the country PLUS the thrilling added bonus of a concert in Spain.
As I say, all this information is already posted on the “Gigs” page. But here’s a snapshot of the tour in a more narrative form.
Sunday, September 6; The Jumpin' Hot Club in Newcastle
I’ll be starting way up north, just below the Scotland border at this respected venue that features some of England’s best Reggae, Blues, Folk and Acoustic acts.
Thursday, Sept. 10; The Luminaire in London
Man, I can’t wait to get back to this club! It seemed as though half the city turned out to welcome me last time. I don’t think I ever felt more supported and respected than I did here. Megastars like Jarvis Cocker, Sean O’Hagan and Romeo Stoddard were there. And the great Richard Hawley joined me onstage for several songs. I’m so ready to get back and play for you again!
Sunday, Sept. 13; The End of the Road Festival in Dorset
What an honor it is to be asked to play this prestigious three-day event that runs from Friday the 11th to Sunday the 13 and features Steve Earle, Neko Case and about a zillion other quality performers. I’ll be playing on Sunday.
Wednesday, Sept. 16; Colegio de Abogados in Bilbao, Spain.
This gig just fell into our lap. The promoter learned that I was going to be “in the neighborhood” and asked if I could come over and do a concert at this college of the arts. I had no idea I had a following there. I’m really touched by their interest. I hope their English is better than my Spanish.
Sunday, Sept 20; The Hanbury Club in Brighton.
And finally, it’s all the way down to this beautiful southwestern seacoast town to play the Hanbury that features singer/songwriters from all over the world.
I can’t begin to relate my eagerness to get back there and reconnect with the many friends we made last time and to meet more of you.
Meanwhile, let me urge you loyal and dedicated Lind fans: If you know of any promotional venues – radio shows, TV shows, print media or any other way to get the word out. Please email Jill at jpguerra@aol.com and let her know about them.
Also, if you’re aware of any cut-rate but cockroach-free hotels or discount train ticket outlets, or anything else that you think might help make things smoother. Tell her about them too.
Or just post the info in this thread. We’re not ashamed to admit we’re not familiar with some of these areas; you are. So please inform us about anything that might make the travel/accommodations aspect of the tour go easier.
To quote the great Sid Wayne and Sherman Edwards (via Shelley Fabares and The Tempos), “See you in September.”
