Ok…so…after that fantastic run of shows in the Highlands last week we’re approaching the last bit of UK touring in 2014 (unless some mid-November gigs I’m working on work out – they’re still TBC)…Dirk has something on next week so sadly won’t be on the shows but we do have an excellent dep in the form of ex STFU-er and Blueflint-er Roddy Neilson on the fiddle again for the first time since the Orkney Folk Festival three years ago…the gigs are Newbury on Thu 10th April, then Woolacombe Village Hall in North Devon on Fri 11th April and finishing up with a concert at Bridport Arts Centre (with support from the hugely entertaining Stompin Dave Allen) on Sat 12th April…here’s the links for tickets…
