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

Saw Sound Of The Sirens last year. They were a lot of fun. |

I've just managed to get 2 pretty good tickets to see Rush in Cologne, for the same price as my 1 ticket cost for Toronto so well pleased. As is my mate and our wives as they are going to have a lovely weekend away  |

Bodelwyddan Festival
I had to look this up as it's only just down the road from Chester and hadn't heard of it before. It's just for people who pay for the accommodation in the castle - is that right? |

It's just for people who pay for the accommodation in the castle - is that right? yes its all or nothing. No music only tickets. It sold out in a couple of days anyway. We're looking at it as more than just a festival. |

Somewhat appalled at myself, but I appear to actually be going to see Rush after all. The Sunday at the Co-op. As far away from the stage as it is practically possible to be. £112. Utterly ridiculous, but what the hell...I can pretend to be 16 again (my age the last time I saw them)...

Good for you David, it will be a bit different from last tome you saw them, but I am sure you will love it. There's an interview Geddy & Alex did with Planet Rock this week on YouTube, well worth a watch and gives away a few secrets about what to expect. Also, did you see that the Who's keyboard player / backing vocalist is joining them so that Geddy can concentrate on bass and vocals. |

I was somewhat distressed to be told there have been 10 albums since the last one I listened to (Signals).... Gulp  |

Rush! Son and I shall be heading for O2 Arena on the Tuesday  I last saw them at the gig in Birmingham that became one of their live albums (A Show of Hands?) Time before that was the Signals tour, and the time before that was the Exit Stage Left tour - the first proper gig I ever went to. I am very much looking forward to this! |
