Unfortunately not David. Return from my Tom Petty trip on the 21st.

Re: The London Gig Guide

I've updated the Gig List at the top of this thread with some more excellent artists later in the year. It's still looking like everyone will be out of the country or at the Olympics in August. If anyone's coming to the UK for the games they will be disappointed if they also want to see some bands in the capital.

As you can probably imagine, compiling the Gig Guide takes a bit of effort so I apologise if I don't update it regularly enough. To compensate I've now added links to the listings pages for each venue so that you can see what's coming up. Be aware the links may not take you to the current month.

As always, please add a post here if you see something worth adding and I'll try to add asap.

I may not see you at any London gigs for a while as my next scheduled outings are Gov't Mule on 4th July (I wouldn't miss them for anything as they are definitely my current favourite band) and Eric Johnson on 10th July. I didn't know too much about EJ until recently, but boy can he play and you can definitely hear his influence in Joe's playing. This should be another jaw dropping night, especially from the front row wink

Thanks for that Phil. Are you going to the first or second night EJ concert?

Simon McBride is supporting Iain Siegal on 4 July.

Re: The London Gig Guide

Thanks guys. I did know about KWS but forgot to add him - going a bit senile in my old age. big_smile  He's now added plus the link to the Assembly Hall what's on page.

Why are good gigs like London buses? I can't believe how many artists want to play London on the 4th July. There's only one band for me, however. You'd need more than a Mule to drag me away from Under the Bridge on Independence Day. smile

Told you I was going gaga. Edited to say I'm going to the 10th July EJ date. If you can make it down to London, Kenny, I made a bit of a cock up on the ticket front and have rather a lot of front and second row tickets burning a hole in my pocket. big_smile

Oli Brown is playing Islington Assembly Hall on 17th November.
It's the night after Beth Hart, so it's going to be a great weekend in London smile

Re: The London Gig Guide

Doh indeed! I should have guessed, of course, as these gigs have been rumoured for some time. Shame they're all going on sale at the same time. More in the General Forum thread.

Thanks George.
