Message from Leola: We are delighted to announce that tickets for Ralph’s 70th Birthday celebration concert on the 7th December 2014 at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, will go on sale this Monday the 3rd of March.
As you know, Ralph will not be doing his usual tour this year, and he has made the decision to reduce his touring commitments from now on, so this will be a very special show.
Tickets for the birthday concert will be available to buy online and by phone through See Tickets.
We do hope you will be able to make this very special evening and share the celebration with Ralph.

Tickets for Ralph's 70th gig are now on the SeeTickets website. It offers you the 'best' available seats. There is a seating plan on the ticket page, so if you want different seats to those offered online, phone 0871 297 0777 and ask. If the website (and phone call) can be believed, the tickets are selling like hot... well, tickets. Good luck and see you there! |

I can't believe my luck......
I had a front row seat for Ralph's 60th at the Royal Festival Hall, and I've managed to get a front row seat for his 70th!
After the initial jitters on the See Tickets website, I spoke to Kieran in the ticket office who couldn't have been more helpful.

The tickets are rather (ahem!) expensive. But, well worth it, I'm sure. |

Ouch - this'll be the dearest ticket I've ever bought for Ralph....and to cough up 6 months in advance too. Why not open booking closer to the event? Say, in another 3 months time?

It's nine months in advance, Chris. I was expecting £30, but the cheapest seat in the gods is £33. I was online and on the phone within minutes of them going on sale, and could not get anywhere near my preferred seating areas. I will be very annoyed - but not surprised - if they turn up on another ticketing website at inflated prices.

It will be well worth it I'm sure, especially if the 60th bash was anything to go by! By far my most expensive Ralph ticket in 44 years of seeing him!

Tickets arrived, Hotel Booked, Time off work sorted, just got to sort out train or coach later in the year (for a better price) and try not to get over excited. Roll on December.

Well, wasn't that just the best folk club sing-along ever? Ralph and Danny played mostly mid-70s songs from their collaborative peak, and most of them had choruses or refrains that Ralph encouraged us to join in on. So we did. A great night in great company - JJ and Chris of this parish and friends from many years 'down the road'; and a natter with the Mays (and Eddie) afterwards. Splendid!

Good to see you John. I stood at the back with Martin Driver as I managed to find the fireplace which elevated me a bit so for once, with a standing gig, I could actually see. It was a real birthday party wasn't it? Ralph relaxed, happy and in fine voice, such a lovely atmosphere, loved the sing- a -long. Eduardo was taking some good photos, wonder if they will appear on Ralph's website? |

The Celtic Cousins CD "..will be on sale at the shows, and will go on general release in June", according to The Herald, which reveals that it includes The Tangle O' The Isles. The Western Morning News has some more track details: The Mermaid and the Seagull
Cannabis Creek
From Clare To Here
The Islands. The article also mentions Canopus, which Ralph "...has been recording, ahead of the tour, at a little studio close to home to mark the centenary of the First World War," though I suspect this refers to another project to be released later in the year. |

From this morning's Leola email..... Dear Friends,
It’s less than a week before Ralph heads out on the road again for his Celtic Cousins Tour.
We are delighted to announce another Irish date for the tour at the home of singer/ songwriter Jimmy MacCarthy in his Thomas Moore theatre. It is a real privilege to be the first artist other than Jimmy to perform here. The Thomas Moore theatre is an intimate 100 seat theatre. Click here to buy tickets for this very special show.
One date that will be a little different to the other concerts will be Ralph’s show at the Millenium Hall, Laugharne, which will see Ralph play songs and read poems from his Dylan Thomas Project, The Boy With a Note. Tickets for this show can be bought via our webshop.
We are also releasing a Celtic Cousins CD. This CD features a collection of some of Ralph’s Celtic themed songs. This will be available to buy from the 30th of April from Ralph’s site and of course at all venues on the tour.
This summer Ralph will be playing the pre festival Thursday night at the Sidmouth Folk Festival on the 31st of July.
Tickets for Ralph’s 70th Birthday concert are selling fast, please do not delay in purchasing your tickets if you are thinking of attending. |
