As an aside, really recommend the Lowry exhibition there as well.

Were the full 2018 Winter Tour dates in the Cropredy programme this year? If so, can anyone share a photo of them here?

They were - along with the Autumn tour dates - but no programme with me, sorry.

Looks like the nearest to me is Exeter - that's 163 miles! Doubt I'll get there!

Surely Tewkesbury is closer?

Sad to see that the Electric Palace at Bridport is not on the list .  Always a good attendance there. Does anyone know if this is the final listing?

Yes, you're right, that's only 127 miles!

Aww, no Chesterfield.  That's a bummer.

They did Chesterfield for many years, then missed it out in 2016 only to reappear there this year... it'll be Nottingham for me.

Back to The Connaught in Worthing. A much better venue for them than the Pavilion which was this year's location.

Hope it is a livelier set though as the seats in the Connaught are much cosier.

New Vic Theatre (in the round) booked, ditto Albions, along with tables for their very excellent and reasonably priced meals.

Ah, back at the platform in Morecambe after several years' break, I see. Good stuff. The venue's website has the support as Winter Wilson.

Nottingham will be a local gig for WinterWilson.

They're in Cardiff in May Andy. No idea why it's so late - more of a Spring Tour!

Well, Acapela is a tad outside Cardiff! But a lovely small space! Already booked as its my favourite venue in that neck of the woods. Steeleye are there too

Farnham is our closest, but not brilliant as it is a work day, and I work in the other direction.  May miss the Wintour again.  A couple of years ago they played High Wycombe, which was great for me.
