Indeed, it appears that they're on sale when McTell mansions put ip ticket links on their dates page. Very helpful.
One error: website says Canterbury is 8pm. Venue has it for 7.30. Be warned

New date added: Wednesday 18 November 2015 - Albany Theatre - Coventry. Tickets are now on sale for all venues: see http://www.ralphmctell.co.uk/tour/ for box office links. The Albany! How quaint! A small theatre used for am-dram normally. I may be tempted to travel back to my old haunts for this one. |

On very good form at Cropredy, I can report.
He's unsure how much he'll be playing with Albert - he's still waiting to hear from him!

Just a reminder, Ralph is in Ireland at the moment. Saturday 24th he is in Sligo. Here is a poor recording of Ralph performing Clare to Here, as if they used an old cassette tape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrow-6-WdAshttp://www.ralphmctell.co.uk/tour/ |

I bought two of the last four tickets two days ago after discovering I would be around and able to go (70 miles away, but here in Ireland that beats the usual where we have to go 95 to Belfast or 160 to Dublin). I presume the last two tickets might be gone now. Happy day. Delighted to hear he's sold out (though wouldn't have been so delighted if I'd left it another day...). I'll report back...

Well the Sligo gig was a joy. I must admit I don't have a breadth of knowledge of his repertoire, and indeed he thanked the audience for being so appreciative and attentive. To me it was a man with nothing to prove, a consummate musician/troubadour doing what he does best. The stuff I didn't know was engaging, and it may sound crass to some diehard long-term fans, but hearing the man himself sing Streets of London and Clare to Here was just so precious to me - on a par in my recent experience with hearing Eric Bogle sing No Man's Land, and James Taylor singing You've Got a Friend ans Sweet Baby james. (Oh, and Steve Hackett playing Firth of Fifth at Cropredy  ) I was impressed that he gently rebuked the Fureys for introducing Clare to Here into the Irish folk songbook with the wrong tune to the chorus (much as they did with the wrong title and lyrics to No Man's Land)... and at the wrong speed. (Sidenote - Irish pub singalongs tend to involve drink, and singing every known folk song as a table-banging anthem in the same tempo and spirit as the Wild Rover, with no sensibility to the actual song itself. The Fureys may have contributed to that by simplifying the tunes and the words, but at least they did popularise the song; and I think maybe it's the Irish pub psyche that puts the monotonous pary-tempo on all of it). (Sorry, I digressed...) Peppers and Tomatoes was a highlight, touching a raw nerve with a crowd so very close to the N.I border, and of a demographic that had mainly lived through most of the troubles just a few miles up the road. A straight-through set came to an all-too-short close; but with a nod (and indeed a mention of, to little recognition of an Irish crowd) Fairport, the Hiring Fair was his encore. Personally I wished he'd done Water of Dreams, and even (for silly nostalgic reasons) Kenny the Kangaroo. But I, like I would guess most people there, went home with a warm glow of having just seen a master at work doing what he loves doing in his own special way. |

Thanks for the review Stephen. Really looking forward to the Lowry on Saturday now. Anyone else out there going? I know one of the usual suspects is. See you there John. |
