ACOUSTIC STRAWBS - MAY/JUNE UK GIGS
WITH/WITHOUT THE ZOMBIES
Fri 24 May - Acoustics only
A lone Acoustics gig at the fabulous Trading Boundaries - a stately home type venue, which does dinner gigs with some standing/non-dining places. Dining tickets are £45, standing tickets 15. A few tickets are left but this is likely to be a sell-out so hurry. Unfortunately this was missed off the last Strawbswebnews, my apologies - details are:
Trading Boundaries
Sheffield Green, Uckfield, East Sussex TN22 3RB
01825 790200
www.tradingboundaries.com
Dining starts 7.30; standing tickets arrive a bit later.
... with the Zombies
Acoustic Strawbs are supporting the legendary Zombies on a selection of dates on their May/June tour. The Acoustics opened for the Zombies on a number of dates in the US a while back and, by all accounts, there was a great vibe between the two bands. The Zombies line-up features co-founders Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone.
Acoustic Strawbs/Zombies dates:
- Saturday 25 May, The Anvil Basingstoke
- Thursday 30 May, G Live Guildford
- Saturday 1 June, IndigO2 London
For other Zombies dates without the Acoustic Strawbs, see the Zombies website:
http://thezombies.net/.
September shows
Early warning of a few September dates:
Sun 1 Sep - Weyfest, Farnham
Thu 19 Sep - Stables, Wavendon
Most likely more to follow.
