Fiona Pears announces new concerts

[Richard]

Hello everybody!

When new concerts are announced on Fiona's website, I'll post about them in this thread as well as updating her concerts schedule. Here's the first addition:-

Fiona Pears and her UK band will be appearing at the Stendhal Festival in Limavady, Northern Ireland, on Sunday 17th August 2008.

For more information see Fiona's website: www.fionapears.com/fireandlight/gigs.htm

Fiona said on stage at Dunstable last night that she hoped to perform at Alfie's Bar in Luton in the future. Fiona told Gini that they would be going to Alfie's after the concert (I presumed that this meant sometime in the future).

I had an e-mail reply back from Ian this morning saying that they had actually gone to Alfie's after the concert and would be playing there 'impromptu' sometime in the future.

If we have any warning, I shall post here.

Hello again Drew and everybody!

I was talking to Fiona last night and she told me her concert in Kerikeri is on 12th October 2008, not 11th October as shown on her website. I've corrected her schedule.

Hello everybody.

The Stendhal Festival in Limavady, Northern Ireland has been cancelled, so Fiona will not be appearing on 17th August.
