There's a big chance if the last date will be played in Greece I will go and take my cam

On the other hand if anyone wants to see Bob Dylan in Europe in the coming fall, tell!

[Jaysbee]

htf can he not come to london??

Yeah, i know   Gonna try for Edinburgh on the Sunday at the Playhouse [27th] - Never been to Scotland before!!!

[Buda]

Thanks for the info Jay! Busy schedule for this summer but - as the dates are can't be better - I think I might have to attend Prague then.

[Jaysbee]

I got a date with Waits in Edinburgh on the Sunday [27th July] - Good stalls seats too!!!  Panic Over   

[Jaysbee]

For anyone who's looking for sharing a night out in the UK with a relatively new singer-songwriter - check out Belfast born 'Foy Vance' on his upcoming tour

http://www.foyvance.com/

Although he doesn't have the matured voice - there is def. similarity/influences abound to early 70's period WAITS

Checkout 'Gabriel & the Vagabond' > http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7EsHGpIH58k

[mrstrongarm]

i'll check it out - i saw Yael Naim the other day (she featured on a itunes add some months back, singing her 'New Soul' song)... i must admit she was phenominal on stage... easily one of the best gigs i've seen in a while.

[Buda]

Naim is really something to talk about. I saw clips of her live capability over at youtube and have to say I gotta find one of her gigs later when she will be touring around Austria and the likes...

Oh, and here is my gig or what was... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WtmeOfCigo

[mrstrongarm]

i know someone who taped her in london (see d a d... or msg me) i hope you get an opportunity to see her ...

dare i say she has the same energy (and even the same voice-leading) as Mr Buckley?

[belikewhat]

comparing buckley to Yael Naim is abit wrong. i dunno i just hate that bloody new soul song! LOOL!
