Good morning friends and happy April. I delayed this month’s Substack by one day because in about half an hour we’re announcing that…
The Songs Of Joni Mitchell is hitting the road again this autumn in the UK, Ireland and Paris!
Some of you will remember I originally produced and curated this show for Joni’s 80th at London’s Roundhouse last spring. We then packed it into a suitcase for a mini tour in the autumn. And now we’re doing it all again, bigger and better! For this new incarnation of the show I’ll be joined by Jesca Hoop, Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) and Richard Sears on piano, as well as very special guests Lisa Hannigan & Loah for the London Shepherd’s Bush Empire and Dublin Olympia Theatre shows. Too good to be true.
We even have a website now, imagine! Check it out for more info and to sign up for presale ticket access:
What else? Last month I flew to Baden Baden to play for a mayor and took the train to Bournemouth to play for a vicar. It’s good to be playing again. Thanks for your enthused messages about Sweet & Low. You can expect another JF & Lail song amongst your Easter eggs this month…
Ok that’s enough for now. Spread the word about Joni, but not ‘til 9am!
