    It's May 7th. Funny place to start a tour and I wish he'd announce all the dates as I don't wanna miss out but at the same time York is pretty far from Bristol which is where I'm gonna be coming from. Wish he was bringing Brad but just great he's coming. I saw Pigeonhead back at the Aro Space in Seattle and he played 1 Brad & 1 Satchel song, amazing. Met him after the show and said he should come to Europe and 10 years later he is. Can't wait.

    Well he's just added a Birmingham show so it's looking like a tour if he's also doing a London gig too, which obviously he would.

    So how do you know he'll be playing in London? Got a date? Source?

    Well the first 2 Brad albums are my faves, both Satche albums esp The Family are quality. Live at the Point, should give you and idea of what his solo piano show will be like. As far as his solo stuff goes, Shield Of Thorns is a good start, some quality stuff on that. Not too sure on if London record stores will stock his albums as it's been a while since I've been record shopping there but reckon they probably will have some of his stuff.

    All Shawn's solo albums are being reissued/repackaged later this year. They'll hopefully get UK distribution just like The Diamond Hand. Oh....The Family by Satchel is a beautiful collection of music.

    Ta!

    No probs, hope your enjoying them. I think Live at the Point is being re-released later this year. Need to get myself a copy of The Diamond Hand, but heading back to the UK in a few weeks so dilema where to get sent. Enjoy the gig, I'll be there too.
