I'm going to be checking nearer the time of my July/August trip to the UK to see if I can get to see the man! Wish I could get to Herga in June - what a line up!

It will probably be his very last tour of the Uk as he is hitting the time to retire or at least not travel so far. Mind you if he is like the Rolling Stones he will be back agin and agin. Well maybe not.

This gig could go down in history

If the previous one [Eric B in Watford a few years ago] is anything to go by then this is the one to be at.

And I've now talked to the surprise guest, who has resolved my dilemma - Les Sullivan will be celebrating his special birthday by supporting Eric Bogle and Martyn Wyndham-Read at the James Theatre, Watford. (Apparently there would be insurance complications if the guest continued to be unidentified.)

Well Stew, if that's the case he has certainly earned it.
Personally, I think he's getting of an age now, that he can do without the punishing schedules of the tours he has had over recent years.

No hi-jack BREEZY!

Poster above mentioned not been able to make this one & other dates were mentioned.
Just trying to help.

Couldnt care less about London (its NOT the centre of the universe you know.

Thread is about Bogle so your Nathan Rogers plug is also a 'hi-jack' in your termns.

Why mudcatters get so abusive I will never know!

Breezy - Watford isn't in London, which is why it was in inverted commas in George's original post. But the James Theatre is close to Watford Metropolitan line station, and Watford on 27 June does seem to be the closest that Eric is getting to London on his tour.

Kitty

PS I thought I'd already posted this but it didn't seem to have landed, so apologies if it appears twice.

Of course you are correct Kitty, but dont tell the rest of the country it will lead to much confusion.

Now thats twice Ive been in attendance and you have been sorely missed of late i trust you wont be absent for Nathan Rogers on Mon 8th june at Pinner Green Soc Club.

Will you be at the Johnny Collins gig on friday at the Pumphouse, only asking, answer not required as I can probably 2nd guess !

While doing me 'thing in the street' yesterday it was surprising how many people I spoke to who didnt know who E B was but knew his two most well known songs, then there were those who knew nothing!

have a nice sunny day wherever you are kitty.

He and John Munro were scheduled to perform at Leigh Festival (Leigh on Sea Essex) on 28 June.

I have contacted one of the Leigh organisers who has confirmed that Eric and John had to pull out of the festival. On Eric's website it does show a conflict of performances for that date.

So now I need to look at finding out how far Watford is from Chelsford, what the parking is like and if I can still get a couple of tickets.

If not, he is due to perform at the Hoy at Anchor club in Leigh on Sea on 14 July. But that is one day before we leave for Scotland. So maybe not doable.

Arrghh!

Do you mean Chelmsford?

It'll be a whole experience at the Watford gig, the best value I think of probably all his gigs.

The support acts are top notch

Get there early to enjoy pre concert activities, why not visit St Albans on your route and catch the buskers

VT - Watford is about 50 miles west of Chelmsford. Transport Direct estimates that it will take a little over an hour to get there on the evening of 27 June, via junction 21A of the M25.

The concert venue is actually the theatre of Watford Grammar Boys School, on the A412 Rickmansworth Road. I think parking in the evening should be OK, the challenge will be negotiating the Watford one-way system to get to West Watford... following signs to Rickmansworth should work though!

Hope you can make it

Kitty

Thanks Kitty and Breezy

I did indeed mean Chelmsford. We often take a route through Watford when going to and from Stratford U Avon to visit my partner's parents.

I will talk to partner. He is determined that we do Leigh Festival in the evenings. But I really want to see Eric. The added bonus of Martin Wyndham Reed is icing on the cake.

I might already be committed to giving lift to Leigh to a friend as well.

Fingers crossed I can work this out. If not then I will make certain to attend Hoy at Anchor performance on 14 July.
