Not too sure if I'm doing the right thing here or not...but....I always like to jump in with both feet!
So...I have this idea! Over in Myspace, you get to hear about musicians who would love to come and do some gigs, over here in the UK.
Not having a folk/acoustic cafe/club/theatre of my own and not knowing quite how to help, I suddenly thought about having a thread where we could all put down names of various artists who we know are coming over here and seeking gigs.
Then, anyone interested in booking them or getting in touch etc..could either send them a message via Myspace, or...if they don't belong to Myspace, could PM me or anyone else who passes these messages on.
He only has one track playing on there at present, but it's beautiful music. Mark is about to tour a bit in Sweden, then he's hoping to come over here and stay until around December.
Vinnie's hoping to come and live over here in the UK towards the end of this year, and he's hoping to play some acoustic gigs either on his own or supporting other artists. We've just bought Vinnie's 'All American Boy' CD and it's great! Filled with strong, meaningful songs about man's inhumanity to man. Very kind, caring and consderate man too.
Hope this is thread is OK and starts the ball rolling for a few more people too.
Oh...and by the way....I think someone should book Jed Marum for a UK tour as well! Jed doesn't know I've said that....I just think it would be a grand idea! Have you heard his 'Soul Of A Wanderer' Ohhhhh! ;0)
