Nathan Ball's tour update!

Sat, 05 Dec 2009

Dear friends,

Nathan is now just over half way through his Winter Wanderings tour of the UK :-) Thanks to all of you who have come to hear him play over the past few weeks and a warm winter welcome to those of you who signed the mailing list at one of the tour gigs.

The journey so far… It’s been an amazing month travelling the country playing some beautiful gigs – from the jam-packed opening night in London town to the home-from-home that is the Penzance Arts Club… along the way selling out in Brighton, enchanting audiences in Stroud, Norwich and Nathan’s home town of Bracknell and a very special gig on a boat in Bristol with Martha Tilston… it’s been an incredible journey!

Welsh Wanderings (www.nathanball.com/bangor-2009-tour) Next stop on the road is Bangor in North Wales where Nathan will be playing TOMORROW night (Sat 28th Nov) at The Greek, supported by quirky, experimental folk artist Stacey Cohen and her Wild Mountain Giants.

New Manchester dates (www.nathanball.com/manchester2-2009-tour) After that it’s over to Manchester (yes finally some Manchester dates!) for the first of 2 showcase gigs at the For Folk’s Sake Yuletide Special at The Bay Horse on Wednesday 2 December. The second will take place at the Green Room on Friday 11 December.

South Westerly collaborations (www.nathanball.com/gigs) Following the first Manchester date, Nathan will be return to the South West for a series of dates with the inspiringly talented Tobias Ben Jacob of Roots Union… 3 December: EXMOUTH @ The Beachcomber 4 December: TOTNES @ The Barrelhouse 5 December: HEREFORD @ Café Green (Note the change from the previously publicised Glastonbury gig) 6 December: HAY-ON-WYE @ The Globe

And finally… (www.nathanball.com/leeds-2009-tour) The tour will draw to a close with a final Northern date at the Sela Bar in Leeds on Sunday 13th December with the lovely people from Stone Soup.

After a busy couple of month’s touring, Nathan will head over to Northern Ireland for Christmas and although there are no Irish tour dates booked in, the traditional festive sessions will no doubt provide ample opportunity for even more musical winter wanderings…

Hoping to pass you on the road...
