april 6,mystery folk club, Lancashire,

Any ideas??

If you're at a loose end on the 4th head along to Joe Crane's Come-All-Ye at The Cumberland Arms in Byker - one of the great Tyneside sings!

Had a look in Folk North West, and Dick isn't on any of the ones who have guests listed. However, two possibilities are Swinton, which has guest TBA, or Four Fools (Standish), which just says 'floor singers', but they never advertise their (occasional)guests. There again, the Bacup club hasn't got anything listed at all, but is still on the list.
Sorry, can't be any more helpfuller than that.

ER... slightly misleading; Bacup has guests listed for March, but nothing for April/May. JK.

That's the Four Fools, in Standish, near Wigan. Like I said, they never advertise their guests; don't actually know why, but I suspect it's because it's a small singaround club with a regular crew, so they don't want it swamped with one-off visitors. If that's the case, I've blown their cover. You've never 'eard of me, right? Actually, it wouldn't make any difference to me, as I can't get arrested around this area anyway!
You should have a good night there anyway.

For it to be a UK tour would it not have to include venues in the other three countries?

Since the giglist clearly states "England", no.
Dick lives and works in Ireland already.
So you mean, presumably, Wales and Scotland.
I imagine he's working on those countries for future tours.
And, hopefully, the South East corner of England.

I think it was the clones who put the "UK" into the thread title. I seem to remember that it originally just said Dick Miles.

Apart from which, the part of Ireland in which he lives hasn't been united for a long time - neither with Great Britain nor with the rest of the island itself...

I'll get me caubeen...
