UK tour this very year or just Wishful Thinking!!

[johnfowles]

I happenned to be looking at the amazon.co.uk website for something then afterwards on a whim I searched for GL
after scrolling down the list of obvious CDs I could not believe what I was reading



Naturally I firstly checked that it was not April 1 and then clicked the link which opened
http://www.seatwave.com/gordon-light...Lightfoot+Tour


Pretty amazing news!!
"Newbury UK on Wed November 9 2011 at Arlington Arts Centre"
Wondering how on earh I could get back to England in November I Clicked the link which opened a page headed
"Gordon LightfootArlington Arts Centre, Newbury, Wednesday 09 November 2011, 20:00"
BUT.......
under available tickets I read with much dismay that:-
"We currently do not have tickets available for this event. Please click here to view ticket availability for other dates."
This could be because
on Wayne's 2011 list on November 9 Gord is certainly likely to be playing at "Arlington" but the problem is that that particular venue the Arlington Theatre (note that their website uses the correct spelling) is in fact NOT in Newbury UK but several thousand miles to the West in Santa Barbara CA

Obviously Messrs seatwavedotcom have got their knickers in a twist!!
That nice Mr Google tells me that there is indeed an Arlington Arts Centre (correct spelling again) which has a Theatre in Newbury UK


But their website shows nobody playing on November 9th 2011,( 11/9/11 in the UK) which could be due to confusing November 11 with the more widely known September 11 a.k.a 9/11 (9/11/11 in the USA but 11/9/11 in the UK)
However playing there on the following night is a UK group called Colvin Quarmby who are
"Growing favourites on the Folk/Acoustic circuit, the live show is spontaneous - unpredictable, often hilarious and always hugely entertaining. The catchy, melodic songs are crafted with incredibly evocative lyrics which can touch the soul in a most powerful way. From heart-breaking acoustic ballads and foot-tapping country rhythms, to full blown folk-rock anthems."
Sounds just lke a Lightfoot concert setlist to me!!
except for the inclusion of one most inappropriate adjective "unpredictable"!!!
I duly consulted Mr Google again but could find no direct link with Gordon but I did read read that on the significant (for UK people) date of July 4th 2009 The English Men played at the New Bedford MA Summerfest
"The English Men, with guitarist Colvin Quarmby, brought their entertaining, comical style and fine musicianship in uplifting songs to the main Custom House Stage."
And of course Gord ventured to New Bedford last March
