Couldn't find a generic Oli Brown thread, so  excuse me while I this behind the more recent “Blues” tour Oli did to celebrate 10 years since Open Road, it looks like he’s doing a few dates this November/December away from the RavenEye guise. I believe his alter-ego will have new hatching/ product early next year.
Meanwhile:-
Nov 21 Thu Derby, The Flowerpot
Dec 10 Tue Coulsdon, The Tuesday Night Music Club
Dec 19 Thu Farnham, Cellar Bar Blues

Been a while since Oli had a mention on here; not that he's given up his music even though the 2nd RavenEye album hasn't materialised; he did co-write and play [bass] on tracks for Toby Lee's debut as well as chip in on other projects at Superfly Studios.

Over the past couple of years, he has been pouring a lot of creative energy into crafting silver jewellery, in a sort of Biker/Gothis style, which I'd recommend you check out Black Feather Design ( http://blackfeatherdesign.co.uk ) if you haven't already.

On the music front, Oli's current project, Oli Brown & the Dead Collective will be playing a debut headline show at Flying Circus, Newark (UK) where a limited debut CD of new music will be available. Following that, they are supporting The Answer at Blackpool, Birmingham, Bristol; London; Leeds & Belfast in March.

                     INITIUM TOUR CANCELLED

Hey everyone, we’re incredibly sorry to announce that we must cancel our upcoming English tour.

One of us has received some devastating family news, and as much as it pains us to cancel the tour that we’ve been looking forward to for so long, it is moments like this where we realize the music has to take a back seat.



We expect to be able to share more news later, but will not be going into further detail at this time out of respect for their privacy.

Canceling the tour is the last thing we would ever want to do, especially as we appreciate tickets are booked, as are hotels & transport for many of you, so we apologize for the inevitable inconvenience this situation may cause.  Refunds for purchased tickets will be made, so please contact venues/ticket sites.

Once again, please accept our most sincere apologies. We continue writing new music and plans are moving ahead with the next EP as well as the debut album.  And, of course, we will be doing everything we can to look at new shows soon.

Love to all.
