Subject: Luka Blooming Marvellous!

Hiya
Severe ticket shortage warning! - Only 11 tickets left for the Aggies - just letting you know.

I love it when gigs sell out, such a relief! Martyn Joseph in the Kingston Barn is heading that way too with only 29 left for the 14th November.
Plenty left for everything else at the moment. Far too many left for Luka Bloom still, which I'm sure is just because he's not so well known here. I was thrilled when Christy Moore himself gave his brother Luka's gig a mention on his facebook page today, saying 'The Brother is playing in Canterbury' Within hours it had 32 shares and 390 likes and a long list of comments - many saying - if only they lived in Canterbury etc...or had already booked for London. Shhhhh don't tell Christy this, (whispering voice) but some people who know Luka have said to me they prefer him as a performer, far more soulful than his brother... I don't think it's going to do Christy any harm though, he's undoubtedly amazing.

Crispin Thomas (manager of top Irish band Craobh Rua) kindly commented on the post - "Am sure it will pick up for you Debs Earl. I know just how hard you work to promote these shows and keep music alive. Luka is amazing.One of the most special, giving performers I've ever been lucky enough to see...here's a personal fave of mine..the crowd join in to harmonise spectacularly".. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8It3VIZLnI

Tim Edey posted.... "Go see the man who wrote one of my favourite songs City of Chicago, he is a legend. Debs - keep doing great shows! ;)" (thanks Tim - looking forward to seeing you on the 28th November at the Gulbenkian)
Helen (from the Gulbenkian) wrote... "So so so excited about this gig!! Met Barry (Luka) many many years ago! Such a great Artist! "

Karen Evans wrote ... "We would have loved to be there if we weren't on holiday- so sad to miss this legend. I recommend everyone who can, get tickets!"

So - there y'are. It's not just me saying so..... :) If you can't make it yourself, but have Irish friends, colleagues, neighbours - please let them know Luka Bloom, brother of Christy Moore is going to be here. This is a rare and special thing. We need to double the current sales (of 40) at least in just over a week - I'm sure we can do it, I have faith in you all ;) (no pressure like)


CANTERBURY FESTIVAL
Saw the Moulettes last night at the Spiegeltent - that's a triple WOW band. I might have trouble preventing myself from booking them at some point. Going to see The Tree Top Flyers there on Friday - they went down very well at Cropredy this year. I missed them because we walked to the village to see Marion (Fleetwood) playing with Leatherat at The Brasenose.... ahhh happy, warm, sunny, beery memories.

Bye for now
