Forthcoming Gigs
Importance: High
Geoff Achison's gig on Sat 17th June
in Maidstone is all but sold out. If you want to come along to this gig
please try & let me know within seven days......I have a maximum of about 20
places left & have hired extra chairs to sit as many down as
possible. As you know I don't like to turn people away & will try to
squeeze as many in as comfortably possible but you do need to move about, so
a max of about 130 is as many as I can manage. There will be other
opportunities to see Geoff in Kent & London & I'll try & get his
short tour schedule on-site this week.
Now chaps & chapesses......I need your
help.......whilst I appreciate Geoff has a special place with most of
us my other gigs are also pretty good.....& I really could do with some
bodies for Fri the 12th May in Maidstone & Tues 30th May in Rochester.
I'm nowhere near break-even on either of these gigs & they are
exceptional......Philip Guy-Davies who runs the Famous Monday Blues
Club in Oxford emailed me to say that when they had Big Dez last month
they had a storming night & he would definitely have them back....he only
puts top acts on including Delta Moon
& Geoff Achison & The Souldiggers so
his judgement can be trusted.....as can mine I hope!! Paul Lamb & The King Snakes on
the 30th at The Roffen is another top echelon
evening.
These gigs get flagged on many other web sites, such as
Phoenix Radio (Digital Blues) in Essex, as amongst some of the best gigs in
Britain........bring a friend & keep these special occasions
going.
Last but not least.....yes I know about
the "deliberate mistake" in my last bulletin......well done Linda in
Gloucester for spotting Mater Class (& Geoff, Brian, John
etc. etc.) when of course it should have been Master Class.
I read & re-read these missives & usually I spot a typo
nanoseconds after I've sent the damn things....it's just not
fair...but it does give me an indication of who's reading
them!!
John.
