Yes, that was great, also great to hear The Cramps coming out of my radio.....caught Vieux Farka Touré in Glasgow last night, got to say he was incredible!!!!

Got the blues? We've got the answer THE BLUES!

Hi Cerys, would be grateful if you could tell the world that we've got Mark Harrison at Blues in the Bar at The Georgian Theatre in Stockton on Sunday 26th, we get going at 3pm so a nice early finish too.

Latest from me: the era of the £100+ gig ticket spells cultural disaster www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris

Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Well….what can I say? DBTR postitions itself as the anti-big concert promoter. We keep ticket prices affordable, work only with ethical grassroots venues like Claypath in Durham
(gig wall below) and most importantly all ticket sales are paid directly to the musicians #notforprofit 🎸

Mark Harrison is looming large for us- hope you like the artwork for his upcoming show with us at The Georgian Theatre in Stockton.
Your comment about Mark inspired it :-
‘A bit different and kinda groovy too’

Music travelling here in Fribourg, Switzerland. Enjoying the show as always - Got lucky - Fanfare Ciocarlia were in town on Friday, as featured in Garth Cartwright‘s masterpiece ‘Princes Amongst Men’. During the gig the singer kept nipping to the bar for vodka shots while the band were playing!

Loving the show as usual while relaxing with a strong coffee and basking in the warm glow of a great sold out show last night at Claypath in Durham featuring George Boomsma and Luke James Williams. Already looking forward to our Oct. gig with an artist you introduced us to…Marius, le faux chat 🐈‍⬛
