Hello! Oh wonderous member of the Velvet Janes mailing list. At last
and with great joy we are able to bring you the dates for our
upcoming Australian tour. We are frantically trying to come up with a
name for the tour ('Best of the Breast', oh, and a rather R rated one
so far)but are feeling rather creatively unimpressed at the moment.
SO, we would love your input. Imagine 5 women, 4 guitars, 1 tarago,
thousands of kms, some really dodgy venues (and some not so), two
people who don't eat pizza and a partridge in a pear tree...now, what
would you call that?? We would love to get some tees printed up for
the tour and if your name is chosen we will use it on that and
our advertising, and give you a box of chocolates...or something
equally as nice! Woohoo..a veritable competition. If you have any
ideas, please send them onto : vjanes@...

Also wonderful news from The Velvet Janes camp tonight is that we
just received news that our artists of exceptional ability visas for
the USA have been approved!There will be many bottles of champagne
(and guiness) being popped here tonight!This means that we can
perform in the USA for the next 6 years and is great great
news for us ! There were some amazing people who were involved in
helping us get these visas including Ani DiFranco and her manager
Scot Fisher, Faith Hill's promoters Gil & Liz Cunningham, Tommy
Emmanuel's US based manager Gina Mendello and David Bates from the
Speigeltent. We couldn't have done it without their help..many thanks.

So now, without any further ado. Here are the details for our
upcoming tour, that will include a cast of thousands, including a US
artist by the name of Laura Chandler who will be opening a number of
the shows for us. We will be heading to alot more regional areas this
time around and please pass this email onto anyone you happen to know
who lives in these places as a number of them are firsts for us and
we would hate to play with ourselves...well, maybe not! Anyway, read
on...

Many thanks to you all for your support, as always, we appreciate it
