Last few festies… and forthcoming UK tour!

Having played 10 festies so far this year, I’m almost festival’d out but I’ve got a bit of juice in me yet so here’s a list of the places you can catch me at over the next few weeks:

Climate Camp, Somewhere in London: 26th August - 2nd September
I’ll be playing some time during the camp… allegedly at 1pm on Friday 28th… but who knows… www.climatecamp.org.uk Get yourself down to this amazing event and help build a sustainable future!

Small World Summer Camp, Headcorn, Kent: 27th - 31st Aug
Saturday night @ 12.30am on the Full Circle stage
Sunday night @ 1.30am on the Small World stage

Landirani Live: 12th September
An Enchanted Festival of Music, Magic and Art, 1pm – 10pm at Fishponds Park, Surbiton (off the Ewell Road), KT6 6BE. I’ll be playing as part of this wonderful day-long event, in support of the Landirani Water Project which will provide over 40,000 people in Malawi with clean, safe drinking water.

After that things will go a little quiet until… the autumn when I embark on my first ever UK tour! From the end of October, I’ll be taking to the road to visit lots of lovely little venues around the country… including (I hope) one near you! We’re still in the process of booking gigs, but for the moment, put the following dates in your diary:

28 October: LONDON @ The Magpies Nest, Islington
3 November: STROUD @ The Prince Albert
4 November: BRISTOL @ Bristol Thekla, supporting Martha Tilston
7 November: BRACKNELL @ South Hill Park
11 November: BRIGHTON @ Latest Music Bar

There should be plenty more where they came from too… including Bangor, Manchester and Leeds… so watch this space!

And if you’re feeling left out cos your home town isn’t on the list - get in contact, suggest a venue and we’ll see what we can do!

Oh, and if you’ve got mates in any of the towns above who might be open to a musical recommendation, let me know and I’ll send you an email invite to forward on!

I’ll post again with full details as soon as all the tour dates are confirmed…
