There's hint of another (maybe solo) gig the following night on the Festival Tours website....RT 'will be playing a club within an hour's drive of Banbury' on the Wednesday.

I seem to remember some TAWers seein the rain god at a small venue in Abindon a few years ago?

Hmmm - yes, that was a solo gig. Somewhere on Beesweb, the RT website, it states...

"Wednesday Richard plays his own full concert with the RT Band at a club just outside of the Cotswolds"

So, unlikely to be either London or Birmingham....

Potentially the nearest to me so far....

Hmmm.....American's can sometimes be geographically challenged outside of their own country.

(As can we, of course!)

 ;D  That's true - it's not even in Wolverhampton is it - it's Bilston I think!

Seriously, the Robin is a good venue for a decent band...seen Ratdog and Jefferson Starship there...

who have thought that RT would have sunk so low as to be playing coffee shops for a gig these days

Probably depends on how much wonga was on offer!

I saw Barclay James Harvest Featuring Les Holroyd there a few weeks back. RT usually plays at Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry, which is just up the road from me... No sign of him there this year! Annoying. Bilston's actually part of Wolverhampton.

Not if you live in Bilston, or are an estate agent it's not  ;)

It looked like an absolute dump... typical grim suburb... Fast food joints and shut down shops.

The end of the British steel and metal industry saw the demise of Bilston- it still hasn't recovered but is in a regeneration programme.

There's a band date at the London Roundhouse that is (for this venue) reasonably priced, as RT gigs go, on Saturday 20th October, so maybe a band tour in the autumn? Link here (http://www.ents24.com/web/artist/8304/Richard_Thompson_1.html)

Indeed, there is - starts in Glasgow on October 15th. Details on RTs website.
