.. to lovers of rock/blues music .. in or visiting the u.k.
.. don't miss this band ..

.. as one LL album reviewer stated ..
.... gotta say .. " Hamsters are Awesomtastic !!! " ....

****
.. 'Hamsters' .. letter/gig guide ..
****

Welcome to 'The Mad, The Bad & The Dangerous!' tour schedule.......

Well, it's time... we've been planning it for a year, and it's finally here... we can't wait! It's five years since we toured with any other artists, and just in case you don't know the other herberts on the tour: Wilko Johnson was the guitarist/songwriter of Dr.Feelgood in their number-one-album Seventies heyday, and his band features bassist Norman Watt-Roy & drummer Monti from Ian Dury's Blockheads; John Otway is the UK's best-loved Rock'n'Roll eccentric; in his long and illustrious career he's sold out the Royal Albert Hall and had two top thirty hits. He's accompanied by his ever-trusty sidekick on guitar, Richard Holgarth.

We kick off in Wilko's and our home town of Southend for an intimate club date warm-up on Thurs Sept 8th, and then zoom off for the first theatre shows at the Isle Of Wight and funky downtown Leamington Spa .... and for those who've asked: yes, we will all be performing together during the show (it's mayhem, too).

This is the first time the three of us have toured together under one banner, and we think it's gonna be a bloody good night out! We hope you do too and, with luck, we'll see you at one of the gigs.

We'll also let you in on a not very well-kept secret: the tour Christmas party will be at Cambridge Corn Exchange on Saturday December 10th. Ssshhh....

Hi Happy Dragon

Thanks for pulling this up again I didn't get to print it last time.

You reminded me to post about my music night at a tapas bar in Surrey - here's the link for interest! http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/005506.html

I see you're at Aldershot in November - our local army town. That's kinda easiest for me to get to from where I am so may see you there if not Blackheath!

Take it easy,
Sheaa
