Thanks, Maeve. Chris Smither is one of those performers whose tour dates I check from time to time, and who I I'll travel a long way (by British standards) to go and see. But I hadn't seen these dates - and there's one virtually on my doorstep. Tickets now booked, as a result of your post!

And I can only echo the previous entreaties to go and see him. He's such a warm, engaging and talented singer, guitarist and songwiter.
