If I can make it there...

Posted on 16th September 2010

Turns out that - CD launch gig not withstanding - New York is the venue for the launch of the ongoing world tour... Can't really get much better than that, now can you?

The tentative itinerary is as follows:

Wednesday: Arctica Bar at 9.30 (384 Third Ave, NY)
Thursday: R Bar (The Tower Of Song) at 6pm (218 Bowery, NY) and
Ground Support at 8pm (399 West Broadway, NY)
Saturday: Banjo Jims at 2.30pm (700 East Ninth St, NY) and
Paddy Reilly's Music Bar at 6.00pm (519 Second Ave, NY)

I say tentative, because these are open-mic venues and the plan is to get there with enough time to book a slot and do 2 or 3 tracks from the CD and, perhaps, sell a few at the same time. On Thursday and Saturday we're going to try to wedge in two of them, cos we're greedy.

We? Who's this we? Well, Sarah Anderson, backing vocalist extraordinaire and best friend bought the tickets to NY and rooms at the Chelsea Hotel (The freakin' Chelsea HOTEL!!!) as a present for my 50th (and as a best man gift too) so she's coming along to enjoy the trip and repeat them backing vocals which got her so well reviewed a few weeks back.

As soon as I'm back, my plan is to start noising up all the folk clubs in Britain to get some gigs - my own or support slots, I don't much mind. I just need to play this music...
