18 Apr 11 - 03:13 PM (#3137603) Subject: Alistair Anderson US west coast May '11? From: Desert Dancer I've just learned of a last-minute-scheduled benefit concert at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Los Angeles with Richard Thompson and Alistair Anderson on May 7. It sold out in less than two hours, before I got to it (and maybe that's just as well as tickets were $65). I'm assuming this is because of Richard Thompson, who has a big L.A. following and usually has no problem filling big halls. (McCabe's seats about 150.) However, my interest was in Alistair Anderson, and I'm trying to find out if he's going to be performing anywhere else that would be in reach of L.A. around that time. I can't find anything other than UK dates for him. Any help?? ~ Becky in Tucson (this week) |

From: Desert Dancer Got a reply that he is in the States to visit New Orleans and Cajun country with Richard and his wife, and visiting friends in California, with the benefit show as a last-minute add-on, so no time to squeeze anything else in. However, he is getting back into doing more performing since leaving teaching, so I asked him to consider the advantages of a follow-up concert in SoCal and to stay in touch! ~ Becky in Tucson, half the time (and Long Beach, the other half) |
