First of all, thanks to the Hull 'catters who came to the Tap n Spile gig last night - your support was appreciated and the CD sales mean we can now afford the diesel to get to Gainsborough Folk Festival this coming weekend ;-)

Woodchip - I've started posting the gigs in smaller lists, otherwise the posting disappears off the home page too soon - there is a mighty amount of traffic on this site!

GUEST,nickr90 - thanks for posting the direct link to the "Rambles.net" review.

Ali - Happy Birthday from us too. Looking forward to meeting you again next week.

And now, a word from our sponsors:

We have noticed that more people are now travelling significant distances to see Julie.

At The Fishpond gig (Matlock Bath) we even had some visitors from North Wales! At the same gig some people who live in Matlock said they had intended going to the (now postponed) gig in Morecambe but, since this is now cancelled, they will be coming to the Tap and Spile gig in Lincoln in November instead.

Obviously we are both delighted that people are willing to travel to see Julie, and we will continue publishing tour dates as far in advance as we can. However, please note that the pub gigs are especially prone to be re-scheduled at short notice (publicans have perfectly understandable business pressures which we have to allow for in our contracts) but we would feel terrible if someone travelled a long distance to a cancelled gig. If anyone wishes to check the status of a gig before travelling, please do not hesitate to call me on 07981 984 760 first. We also update the gig guide on Julie's website as soon as we can - although sometimes there are delays if we are in the middle of a tour.
