***************************************************
We are "virtually" down your way with the latest list of TOURS - see below.
But first we bring you news of a special tribute concert which is being staged in Newcastle on 5th September.
 
The concert  'Long Hellos . . . Short Goodbyes'  is being held to celebrate the life and music of international contemporary singer JOHN WRIGHT, who died suddenly in February.
 
"It is a measure of the respect that his peers had for John that such a superb line-up of artists and songwriters have volunteered to perform. They include Steve Knightley, Allan Taylor, Kieran Halpin, Julie Matthews, Thom Moore, Ray Hearne, Robin Laing, Maartin Allcock and Troy Donockley, Brian Willoughby, John Wright's Band, and a 38-man Shanty Choir - 'Rolling Home'  from Holland."
 
The event will take place at The Journal Tyne Theatre, Westgate Road, Newcastle, on Friday September 5th. Tickets are £17.50 and can be obtained direct from www.thejournaltynetheatre.co.uk  Box Office: o844 493 9999 or via the John Wright website at

Today's 'Live' Newsletter was prepared whilst listening Randy Newman's new album "Harps And Angels" (Nonesuch). I dedicate it to all those music lovers who can't make it to Music Festivals (over 900 we heard on the News!) due to old age and bad knees!
 
Love, Sue
