Greetings
John Conolly and Pete Sumner will be doing a "Farewell Tour" in October 2004...
We've never done a farewell tour before...GULP...
We're hoping to get in touch with as many folks on the West Coast as we can...
We may get further afield...depends on who offers what and where etc...
The highlight will be a performance on the "Balclutha" at Hyde Street Pier, San Francisco on Saturday evening 23rd October...blame Chanteyranger....
House concerts are always good crack...so if anyone out there wishes to put something together we'd be glad to send some promo stuff and other lies...
John lives in Cleethorpes, a small picturesque fishing village, nestling on the banks of the River Humber in Northern England : ) .....He's looking forward to coming over and warming his bones with the warmth of your welcome...I know you Madcatters know of his work....I'm glad to report that he has "new product"
in the form of two new CD's...a solo job produced by Robin Garside and a re-issue of the acclaimed LP "The Northern Trawl"....as well as our joint effort "Trawlertown" made just before I left the UK in 1998...
If nobody minds I'll put my Email address in this thing...petersumner@sbcglobal.net   
I know we'll have a limited number of days available due to John's schedule...
So please Email or post comments to this thread ...if they're printable..
Cheers
Pete Sumner
