I know Rik is playing various Lincolnshire dates in October but here's a couple I'm involved in.Bottoms on seats most welcome!

The first is a lunchtime appearance at a special edition of the "Write Note" at Lincoln Central Library on Friday 12th October (noon-2pm). The "Write Note" is a regular monthly acoustic lunchtime live music session held at the library, featuring a growing list of both musicians and audience. Rik will be the main guest at the session for which there will be a small cover charge. Rik will sing old favourites and original songs and no doubt tell stories from his book of a travelling life on the road " The Road Is My Mistress"

This is followed by a special concert at the Lincoln Drill Hall in the Armoury Cafe Bar (details below)

Lincoln Drill Hall Unplugged Special
Monday 15th October
Rik Palieri & Ploughmens Bunch
In The Armoury Café Bar

Time: 7.30pm (live music starts at 8pm)
Advance Tickets: £4 (£5 on the night-if available)

American troubadour Rik Palieri sings and performs both original and traditional songs on a variety of instruments, including banjo, 6 & 12 string guitars, mouth bow and Native American flute. He's appeared at festivals, clubs and radio shows in Australia, Poland, France, Spain, Germany, Scotland, Canada, virtually every state in the US and in 2002 even shared a stage with Bruce Springsteen. All Rik's shows feature a fun evening of stories, fast banjo picking, sing-a-longs, original song-writing and a little bit of yodelling! Support for the evening will be provided by Lincolnshire folk roots 'n' roll band "Ploughmens Bunch", who will almost certainly join Rik for a song or two. Later that week (19th October) "Ploughmens Bunch" are heading for a ten day trip to Texas where they'll be undertaking some barn dance,coffee shop and wine bar dates

Advance tickets for this gig are now on sale at £4 and available from the Lincoln Drill Hall box office on 01522-873894 and over the internet on www.lincolndrillhall.com.
