Thanks Mike. I was planning to go to the 100 Club gig but the club's website has The Spellkasters and Bare Bones Boogie Band on that night. The BBBB website is also showing them at the 100 Club on the 25th. BUT.... as you pointed out, the Blues Caravan website says THEY are at the 100 Club on 25th March and so does Albert Castiglia's site. Confusing or what!

I emailed the Blues Caravan people but they haven't replied yet. I'll update here if they do.

Re: Blues Caravan 2014

Laurence Jones' website also confirms the Blues Caravan dates, so this is getting messy.

I've emailed my target venue, Reeth, but yet to get a reply as they haven't got the Blues Caravan date listed yet either, though not as bad a situation as 100 Club, as there's no other gig listed for that night.

Ents24 are listing the Oxford (17th) and the Wolverhampton (23rd) dates and taking bookings.

Going to have to keep a close eye on this as its partly how I came to miss the Girls With Guitars tour when it came by with little fanfare.

Trying a pincer movement I've just mailed the 100 Club so let's see what responses we get. hmm

Re: Blues Caravan 2014

I've messaged Albert about the confusion , so I hope he'll clear things up. wink

Re: Blues Caravan 2014

Somewhere in Germany, Albert's left ring finger was attacked by a snare drum, while Laurence was suffering from a sore throat and swollen glands. At the hospital Laurence was told (erroneously) that he may have cancer! It's not, it's an infection. So, he's on antibiotics and Albert's finger has been stitched. Let's hope that's the end of these kind of days!!!!

Re: Blues Caravan 2014

I've had a helpful (but disappointing) reply from Ruf Records:

Thanks for the message. The Blues Caravan show in London was cancelled
today, so I suppose their website was already updated.
Laurence Jones will play in the 100 Club in June I think. Any updates
about the Caravan you will find on our website www.bluescaravan.com

So the 100 Club show is off.

Re: Blues Caravan 2014

They may not have them printed yet, but got my ticket reserved for Reeth. Anyone else heading N.Yorks? Heartily recommend the beer and the grub; the music goes without saying.......

"The Lord giveth & the Lord taketh away" - Just heard, March 24th date at Reeth; postponed indef.  Quote from Buck Hotel:- "The agent tells us they are sorry about the cancellation, but other duties require them back at base [recording I think]".

Better check if this refers to rest of UK tour.

Re: Blues Caravan 2014

Well, the 100 Club show is cancelled but I see another show has appeared instead at the Boom Boom Club, Sutton on Wednesday 19th March. This time it's on the Blues Caravan website and Pete Feenstra's page so, hopefully, it's OK. I'll be there. Shame about your show Mike.

Yeah, it's no secret that I highly rate Laurence and Albert C comes highly recommended and Christina has her supporters, so it was looking to be a special night. Still, I haven't parted with any money, and hopefully it can be re-booked in the near future: just so long as it's not November - that month gets hectic enough.......
