Tiny Tin Lady are delighted to announce that well be hosting a short series of gigs at the Gravy Train in Earlestown, St.Helens.
We'll be kicking festivities off ourselves on Sept 7th with the support of Jessica's Ghost, then on Oct 9th our guests are FAIRPORT. On Nov 18th, it's The Dylan Project.

If these shows are successful we plan to make it a regular monthly event and have provisional arrangements to play host to Seth Lakeman and Family Mahone among others.

Tickets for Fairport and The Dylans are £17.50 and there's a double ticket available for £30 that gets you into both. Bargain.

Gravy Train is a brand new venue, similar in layout to St.Helens Citadel. It holds 285 and there's a bar in the room. Superb PA and lights. Plenty of FREE parking across the street. Earlestown is only 3 miles out of St.Helens town centre, heading towards Newton-Le-Willows.

See you there?



Edit: Added to calendar. Paul

Cor, that's a bit of a turnaround in, what, 6 months. Now FC are supporting TTL!  Shocked  Wink I'd love to come, but it's a little far. Hope the series goes well.

ERRRR.....not quite. Mind you, Jimi Hendrix supported The Monkees on one tour. And I saw Pink Floyd AND The Small Faces both support Engelbert Humperdinck....

So, be clear - who's supporting who?  Has a lot to do with how long I stay in the Griffin!  

Sadly the Griffin haven't announced who's on yet.

If you look at the website it is pretty clear who is headlining.  The word used at the start of this thread was 'hosting'.....

Fairport will be supporting TTL the day after I manage Tranmere Rovers to their 3rd consecutive Champions League.  Grin

I'll send a runner to the Griff for you prof.  Wink

Apparently "The Gravy Train's journey has ended". No sign of gigs on the web site.
