Hello all,

The tickets ARE on sale now.

The link I was given previously for ticket information is not working for
everyone. There is a bug on the site and sometimes the page that says it will
contain ticket information does not contain the ticket information!

You may need to go to the main site and drill down to the tickets page from
there by clicking on the words "FESTIVAL TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW". under the
blue festival logo. These are a link to a valid tickets page - if you click on
the "Tickets" option in the menu, it apparently will NOT take you to the correct
page right now!

Here is the New West press release from 19 May 2009:

Man Overboard will be issued on 21 July 2009, and is Ian Hunter's 13th solo
album since his eponymous debut in 1975. Recorded in late 2008 in Pawling NY,
the 11-song set is a stunning follow up to the overwhelmingly critically
acclaimed Shrunken Heads album. Man Overboard was produced by Andy York (veteran
guitarist for John Mellencamp) and Ian Hunter and features a backing band of
superstar talent comprised of Steve Holley on drums and percussion (Wings, Joe
Cocker), Paul Page on bass (Dion), Jack Petruzzelli on electric guitar (Rufus
Wainwright, Joan Osbourne), James Mastro on electric guitar (Patti Smith, John
Cale), Andy Burton on piano and organ (The Db's) and Producer Andy York on
guitar and backing vocals. Many of the band members are returning from the
Shrunken Heads sessions. Regarding Man Overboard, Ian Hunter stated, "When we
did Shrunken Heads, I felt like we had a good thing going so I wanted to revisit
the experience before anything changed, and that's what we did."

1 The Great Escape
2 Arms and Legs
3 Up and Running

"Just thought you'd like to know the Mott the Hoople reunion IS going
to take place on October 2nd & 3rd, 2009 at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo
in London. It will be the original members - Mick, Pete, Phally, Buff

Mott the Hoople site which should be up and running in the near future.
Why are we doing it? I can't speak for the others, but I'm doing it
just to see what it's like. Short of war, death, famine etc. ...it's
ON."

1) THE NEW SINGLE IS IN CHARTS

Ian's new single, 'When The World Was Round', is current at #86 in
the mid-week charts. Just a few hundred more sales THIS WEEK could
push him into the Top 40!

If you are in the UK and haven't bought a copy yet, why not take a
few minutes and order all three versions (vinyl picture disc, CD
single, and DVD single) from Townsend for the low combined price of
just 3.99 GBP? Why not pick up a few extra copies as gifts for the
holidays?

If you are outside the UK, ask one of your UK friends to buy them for
you, so that the sales are counted toward the charts!
