CONFIRMED 2006 Euro Tour dates

Big Daddy back in Oslo!!

Almost 13 years to the day since his first show here (which i helped to arrange at Elm Street 15.11.93) - and 12 years since the last time he graced these shores as a solo artist (although he was on norwegian water last year at "rock the boat")!!

And what a bonus that [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Mark Mondesir will be on the drums - i enjoyed his work with Courtney Pine - will have to check out some more between now and November

getting nervous at lack of further british dates. David, i know i sound like a stuck record, or should that be cd, will there be any more uk dates????

Thanks, Paul

Also beginning to worry a bit - will there be any news of anything nearer North on this tour?

Quote from David

December
1st Paris, France - Venue (TBC)

1st? Not 11th??
Ah, I can't join this tour...

After all the waiting since the summer for these dates all we get is Just three dates in England and nothing in the north or the rest of the UK this is really annoying As many of us are not able to travel hundreds of miles overnight due to work and family commitments.

I thought that with Soulmover and MFTD doing so well, Glenn was building up some real momentum at last and i am sure more Uk dates would have helped raise his profile after all on the last few tours he has played at least 6 different venues.

Are there any plans for a proper tour next year or is that it for the foresseeable future?

Hi

I have the same problem. Surprised at so few uk dates, but there you go. Had such a great turnout in Sheffield on the soulmover tour. Do not think i will manage any shows either

Glenn, hope the tour goes well,

Paul

Thanks for the reply David. At least that gives us a little bit of hope for the future, the Soulmover tour now seems a long time ago.

I hope that the tour goes well and good luck for the London gig i hope there is a big crowd and this enables Glenn to play a few decent size venues around the UK.

Not that i was going but were has the Dublin show gone from the schedule? I think Glenn will have a lot of questions on the chat about tour dates.

Well, on behalf of all of us who live north of Dudley and especially my brothers in Scotland (hi wiessheim!!), I have to say that disappointment at the lack of dates is an understatement.

Whilst I am unable to attend the dates due to my wedding, I does not make sense having no date further north, when on the Soul Mover tour he played in Scotland and always has pulled a good crowd at Rio's in Bradford.

Its like 2 steps forward and G's popularity increases and then 3 steps back and the North gets hit again.

Is it management pressure or what?

If G can give us a true answer that would be fabulous.

Sorry for the rant, but those who have posted here over the years will have seen my past rants on not playing up North regularly.

Amen.

I know David said ask the Q in chat , but basically it's out of Glenns hands .. there are sooo many logistics to overcome when organising these events , it really does boil down to "you can please some of the people some of the time" etc ect .. i know , i don't want to sound flippant .. but it's true ..

No its not true, its to do with planning a tour well enough in advance so that you can have a sensible and practical set of dates.

For example a tour including these dates in this order Glasgow, Newcastle, Bradford, Manchester, Dudley, Nottingham , London, Southhampton. would minimise travel between dates and enable fans in most areas of the country to get to a gig with a bit of travel.

The real problem with the current tour is that Glenns management seemed to be trying to arrange dates only one to two months in advance and of course many venues will already be booked up especially on the key nights of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

If we are going to have proper full Uk tour (at least 8 dates), then it needs to be planned now for February/March at the earliest in order to get a workable schedule. From what David has inferred this may be possible but we should not willingly accept a second best schedule.

Lets get some campaign going, to get some decent dates and hopefully Chad might also be available by then and that would really help to raise Glenns profile and possibly get some radio and tv coverage.

hi

I'm with you Iain on this one. Whilst spreading his wings and arranging more European dates, Glenn's homeland gig numbers are reduced!! Now i know how my fellow ghcp's across the pond feel!

A bit gutted really, sorry, but this is how i feel [did you see what i did there!!]

Been looking forward to seeing Glenn again after a sensational performance on on the soul mover tour.

Just have to look forward to the re issue of Hughes/Thrall and the H/T 2

i am wondering if a few more UK dates can be added to the end after the Paris show seeing as thats now 10 days earlier than originally announced. I would have thought Glenn would pop back from France to see his folks here before going back to the USA for Xmas.

Paul, surely either JBs or the Roadmender must be a possibility for you?

We only get 1 date in Sweden and that will probably mean going to see them in Denmark too. Gotta do the best with what you get you know...
