A fine singer and songwriter.
I heard Dan at Alcester Folk Festival a few years back and am looking forward to seeing and hearing him again at Chester Folk Festival.

All the best Dan for a successful tour

Dan comes with a strong recommendation from those who have already had the pleasure of seeing him.

Quality songs from a quality singer and writer.

One of Canada's finest.

his covers of Archie Fisher and Stan Rogers are of the highest order.

beautiful rich Baritone voice

But I think we are already converted here.

His CDs make great presents, so get some more.

Hmmm, Southampton eh? And a few dates not filled yet apparently, but I expect you'll need some spare time between the clubs & fests!

Southampton followed by Barnard Castle.... hope you're flying not driving! But I guess Canadians are used to covering the distance.

PS We have Nathan Rogers at Herga on 8 June....

Well we Canadians think little of driving 800km or more in a day. However, in Britain we are slowed down by people comming at us driving on the wrong side of the road. :-} lol
Enjoy Dan!

Hello Folks,

Thanks for the kind comments. And Breezy, as far as carbon footprints... I always take the train when on tour in England to help offset things, as much as I can. (Plus I seldom make the trek all the way to Padstow.) I just have to hope that I can catch all my connections. And Kitty, I have heard that Nathan will be at Herga on June 8, the evening before I leave. In fact, I'd love to show up and hear Nathan do some of his own material. We sang together with a few other friends and family at Hugh's Room in Toronto last November in a tribute to his dad.

I look forward to meeting up with any and all whilst on my travels, except possibly, for Breezy... ;)

Cheers all. See you in a few days. Dan

Just come back from a cracking night at Guisborough. Thanks Dan always good to meet up with old friends. If Dan's on in an area near you, make a point of going to see him, well worth it.

If I don't see you at Whitby Dan, enjoy the rest of your tour and have a safe journey back.

Cheers,
