Hi David, Chris, Amanda etc.,
not sure about the UK tour situation, but I know Ron's 2 dates here in Ottawa
(Canada) this April (13 & 14) are fast approaching and I know those of us here
in Ontario can't wait for these new tour dates and a taste of the new album.
According to recent info just posted today in "Folk Bits", Ron's opening act for
the April 13th show is the brilliant Emm Gryner, so that will be an absolutely
incredible double bill. For those who may not know her, just check out her
website (http://emmgryner.com/nest.htm) or Youtube of course, where there is a
great duet with Ron
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUI-WNI_An4&feature=related).
On the second night (April 14), the opening act is another terrific new
duet/band called Dala......check out their great video for "anywhere under the
moon" at http://www.dalagirls.com/index.html. It's looking like a great couple
of night in Ottawa!!! (and its a great time to visit the city if you are
thinking of making a trek to Canada......!).
Cheers
Ian in a snowy Ottawa
ps. great to see the dust finally blown off this usergroup!!!
ppss. see you there Amanda (& Charles!).

Hi David,
Ron's due in London next week, for one night, as part of the itunes festival.
Hard to get in though, as only 200 seats and 25 pairs of tickets are to be won
via a draw! Plus some available on the day/night. The venue, Air Studios, is
very close to my home, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, as you can imagine...I
I think his new album, Exit Strategy of the Soul, is coming out sometime in
the spring. Do you visit his website? Loads of info and posts over there (not
today though!!).
Cheers, Chris.
PS: Hi Amanda!

How nice to hear some activity on this list after so long.
Anyone any idea when the next album is due. And if Ron is planning to
come to the UK anytime soon?
