Title: Matthews Southern Comfort - UK November dates
Post by: Miguel Cajon (Mick) on October 28, 2010, 02:46:25 PM
Iain is bringing a version of Matthews Southern Comfort to the UK for a three date tour in November. The line up is Iain, BJ Baartmans on guitar, Mike Roelofs on keyboard and, ahem, me on percussion.

The band will be playing songs from the MSC back catalogue and a few from the new record.

Dates:

November 27th - Congleton Vale Club
November 28th - The Cellars at Eastney (Southsea)
November 29th - Bush Hall, London

Tickets and more info on Iain's website at www.iainmatthews.com

Cheers

Mick

Bother - I was hoping that the date on the 29th was going to be confirmed for a different date - I can't make the 29th!

I grew up in Congleton. Wonder if I can get a few old friends to come along.

Southsea is certainly a possibility, dependant on the weather.

Shame, would have come up to Congleton (even if it's called the Vale club   ;)) but it's the same night as the Levs at Salop  :(

You were chosen to play because you are a gifted musician Mick :) You will have plenty of chances in the future, I think life looks rosey for you  ;D
