Which artists are you seeing in 2010?

Melody Gardot - Lowry Salford 21st April 2010

Jethro Tull, York, the only one booked so far.

I have heard Orbital will continue doing some shows next year, hope Underworld will tour too.

Maurizio Pollini - an evening of Chopin - London
Jan Garbarek Group - London
Pat Metheny - THE ORCHESTRION TOUR - London
Jethro Tull - Brighton
Air - London
Mika - for the kids - London

Now added

Dan Berglunds Tonbruket - London - this I am looking forward to - Former e.s.t. bassist Dan Berglund releases his first solo recording in early 2010, Tonbruket - a brand new set of self-penned music that draws from his background in both jazz and rock, and of course grows out of his seminal role in the extraordinary e.s.t story. After the untimely death of Esbjörn Svensson in June 2008, Dan and drummer Magnus Öström decided that it would be impossible to just add another musician to the trio to replace Esbjörn. Berglund has assembled a terrific quartet of fellow Swedes, playing music that stretches from e.s.t to Pink Floyd to Royksopp to Arvo Part.
Dan Berglund bass; Martin Hederos piano; Johan Lindström guitar; Andreas Werliin drums

Nil Petter Molvaer - Southampton -

Nils Petter Molvaer trumpet
Eivind Aarset guitar
Audun Kleive drums

Norwegian trumpeter, composer and producer, Nils Petter Molvaer takes multiple music styles - jazz, ambient, house, electronic and break beats, as well as elements from hip hop, rock and pop music - and creates beautiful, deeply contemplative soundscapes with them. This is chill-out jazz of the highest quality, subtle and minimalist, tinged with ethnic, almost Arabic elements and moments of dynamic stillness.

Anyone for Emerson Lake & Palmer next year?

Also a local gig on the 27th Dec at Coolham, US boys, who are:-

Derek Austin ~ Piano
Malcolm Mortimore ~ Drums
Herbie Flowers ~ Bass
Big Jim Sullivan ~ Guitar

I hadn't heard of the first 2, but as with Herbie and Jim sometime session men and ones even famous, Malcolm on Gentle Giant albums and others, sounds like it could be a good one.

Yeah you're right, I'll cancel that and take them to a Jeff Beck concert, give them hormone treatment to promote premature beard growth and buy them some chrome bumper naim kit off ebay for christmas to obsess over instead, maybe some Jesus sandles for good measure - might even stretch to morris dancing lessons!
