First gig of the year will be Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne at Launceston Folk Club on Sun 22nd. Looking forward to this. I saw him at Towersey some years back, and had hoped to see him in the Amazing Grace tour at the end of last year, but it was cancelled during to illness sadly. His recent Play Up The Music album is very good.
He's always fantastic live, as are Granny's Attic (of which he is one third) |

Ian Prowse and “the fiddle of fire” coming to Birmingham on Saturday. Can’t wait, of the singer songwriter, activist group, he must be the best around now. New album due in June and major tour in the autumn.
Got Darwen & Lytham lined up as duo shows, then Southport and Todmorden with the band. Hopefully the usual Appletreewick gig will happen, and then the Christmas bash on December 12th. |

A small wave of gigs is coming up, some of which I already have tickets for, and some of which I'm simply watching.
Artists include Los Lobos, Little Feat, Melissa Etheridge, Human League, Marshall Crenshaw, Jorma Kaukonen, Emmylou Harris, Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy, Echo and the Bunnymen, Rhiannon Giddens, David Lee Roth, and Yitzhak Perlman. (Using the Oxford comma to make clear that Roth and Perlman are not on the same bill.)
The calendar is getting so crowded, I'm starting to pass on shows I would ordinarily see. I skipped ex-Heartbreaker Benmont Tench last night, and I'm skipping Kofi Baker/Malcolm Bruce's Sons of Cream tonight in New Braunfels. Too old and tired.

Just got tickets for Band of Horses in October at Manchester Albert Hall. Feels like I saw them quite recently but it was in fact about 18 years ago.

Just booked - Doobie Brothers / Santana this August at the Moody Center! Color me skeptical that they can fill this enormous venue, but the economics must make sense to somebody.
Just announced - Bruuuuuuuuce at the Moody Center this April! This one is billed as a “No Kings” show, which is nice. Def going.

Being an ultra fan of Rush, I'm going to see them in Toronto this August - but this news is going to make a couple of my friends unbelievably happy.

Like when they announced the original US dates, they have left plenty of opportunities for filling in extra dates too. Tempted, but it will probably be beyond me, given that will also involve travelling to London and an overnight stay.
More locally and more affordably, there are a number of gigs coming up:
7th March: Blackbeard's Tea Party @ The Plough, Gt Torrington (sorry that this clashes with Bella Hardy in Exeter, though)
13th March: Sound Of The Sirens @ the same venue
21st March: Bob Fox @ Launceston Folk Club
26th March: Fairport @ Corn Exchange, Exeter
4th April: Kris Drever @ The Plough
