Oysters3 on tour in UK in January

Oysterband: brief dips into Scotland, Ireland, Denmark

and coming later this year:

Hi all

 

Another year turns. May 2016 be a year of peace, and kind to us all. We deserve it!

Little rest for the wicked however. Having got the hang of this Oysters3 thing, we're taking it out on the road again this month - floods permitting -

This will be your last chance to see Oysters3 for quite a while, so if you're curious - come along!

Then we have a rare OYSTERBAND visit to Ireland, for Tradfest (which is not quite as trad as it sounds):

Fri 29 Jan      IE           DUBLIN      TRADFEST         THE BUTTON FACTORY Temple Bar    
                                                                                   
www.templebartrad.com      ?25.99

 

and a weekend in DENMARK for Strib Vinterfestival:

Thu 11 Feb    DK         JELLING      BYENS HUS         byenshus.com

Fri 12 Feb      DK         HASLEV FOLK CLUB              www.haslev-folk-club.dk

Sat 13 Feb     DK         STRIB?VINTERFESTIVAL       www.strib-vinterfestival.dk

 

More in our next about COSTA DEL FOLK in MALLORCA [ES] in April, THE BIG SESSION at BUXTON 29 April through 01 May, and other upcoming live thrills....

Some time before the summer we intend to release a double CD, working title "This House Will Stand: The Best Of Oysterband 1998-2015". One CD will be a selection from our last
half-dozen studio CD collections; the other will consist of rarities - unreleased tracks,
B-sides of singles, etc - and live cuts, covering a longer period.
We're hard at work on this right now, but we'll let you know the release date as
soon as everything's done and dusted.  

 

(Apropos of which: if the person who gave us the CD of our set at the Political Song
Festival in East Berlin in 1989 reads this, could they kindly contact Ian Telfer at
ian_at_oysterband_dot_co_dot_uk ? - thanks!)
