Greetings, friends
First of all, a warm welcome to the circle to those who signed up at my
performances in Teaneck NJ, Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco CA
earlier this year, and then to the new Brits from London, Oxford,
Newcastle and Liverpool.
The purpose of this email is to let you know about forthcoming
performances, and to ask, as I usually do, for you to let friends know in
those areas. Most imminent are
Bristol
Old Vic (June 4th - 6th)
and
Southport
Arts Centre (July 23rd)
I am planning a return visit to Nigeria
for performances at MUSON, Lagos
and working on one or two others in that neck of the woods too.
A bit of a breakthrough to announce
for UK
audiences:

No, there isn't a West End date to announce yet, though three days
at the Bristol
Old Vic is pretty damn close, for which I have the remarkable Anna Farthing
to thank! She heard me singing in from behind a pillar in a church in Liverpool two years ago, and next thing I know, I'm
the highlight of a mini Robeson festival!
The breakthrough is that I am
now on the books of some REAL promoters: Lakin
McCarthy Entertainment. They also represent well known BBC Radio and
TV personalities like Lemn Sissay, Andy Hamilton and Arthur Smith! So, no
more standing on the streets handing out flyers for me: - I'll just turn
up and perform! No, it's never quite that easy, but it's a start.
Here are some of the dates they have arranged for starters:
