20 Jan 05 - 12:15 PM (#1383286) Subject: The Gathering - 2005 From: BanjoRay Well the tour's already started, but hear are some details for the rest of it. Debby McClatchy, Tom Sauber, Brad Leftwich and Alice Gerrard are touring Scotland and England as The Gathering. Tonight (Thu 20th Jan) they're in the Noel Arms, Melton Mowbray. The rest of the tour is: Fri 21st - Bridgewater Arts Centre, Somerset Sat 22nd - Merlin Theatre, Bath Road Frome, Somerset Sun 23rd - The Crabshell Inn, Kingsbridge, Devon Mon 24th - The Eastwood Theatre, Eastwood, Notts Fri 28th - Village Hall, West Ashling, Chichester Sat 29th - Arts Centre, Bridport, Dorset Mon 31st - Owen's Brasserie, Shrewsbury Wed Feb 2nd - Huntingdon Hall, Worcester Thu 3rd - Elizabethan High School, Retford, Notts So far they've done Celtic Connections, Glenrothes, the Archie Fisher radio show (Travelling Folk) and Bingham Notts, and they've gone down a storm. They play old time Appalachian mountain music using banjos, fiddle, guitar and voices (both solo and superb harmony). These guys are the real thing, and as good as it gets. My connection? - as a friend, I'm driving and guiding them, and closely listening to what they do, and enjoying every minute of it. Cheers Ray |
