Coming to a Venue Near You: On Tour Soon

Hammersmith Apollo - Friday 16th March 2011





If you have not seen or heard of The Musical Box, then they are worth exploring and shouldn't be dismissed as a 'cover band' - they are rather extraordinary IMO.
Take a listen on their website, the music you hear is them, not Genesis

Rickie Lee Jones
Sat 26th November

Very late notice I know, but I just went onto the Southbank Centre website and was very surprised to see there are still quite a few tickets available for tonight's show at the Royal Festival Hall

Rickie is performing her first two albums in entirety (Rickie Lee Jones & Pirates), so just in case anyone has a free evening?

I think there are some Ani DiFranco fans on the forum, she's announced a few dates for January next year. Not much cop if you live 'up norff', but could be of interest?

Sunday 8/01/2012 - Concorde 2, Brighton, UK
Tuesday 10/01/2012 - Union Chapel, Islington, London, UK
Wednesday 11/01/2012 - Union Chapel, Islington, London, UK

There are links to book tickets through her website here >>>

I'm tempted, Tim, but neither Islington nor Brighton appeal.

Union Chapel is a great superb venue Martin - park at Kew Gardens, then get the Overground to Highbury & Islington, it's a snip

I saw them in Liverpool on the Trick of The Tail tour, very good.
After the album they did other songs and when the singer "Phil Collins" was doing Suppers Ready I couldn't make out if he was now "Peter" or still "Phil".

This concert on 24th March features not only the St Petersburg Philharmonic playing Shossie's 7th but the superb conductor Yuri Temirkanov. And then we have the fabulous pianist Martha Argerich playing a piano concerto (TBC)!

This is one not to be missed. Apologies to those in the north but this is worth the train journey. See you there.
