You are receiving this update because you signed up to them at a gig – I hope that we will all meet again soon at a concert this summer – if you no longer want to receive them, then you can unsubscribe at the bottom – but that would be a real shame as live music needs your support NOW more than ever!
You can see below the tour dates for The Jake Leg Jug Band as well as dates for Warren James’ own concerts including those for his Hit Parade Heroes / Skiffle Concerts / Johnny Cash Songbook and his Lonesome Travellers Band.
It has been a delightful summer so far – although one rainy gig wiped out our sound desk as we discovered that water and electrical equipment don’t mix well… Never the less… Warren is an expert in these matters… He plugged his guitar in to the desk, touched the metal strings on his guitar and declared that he was still alive… SO IT MUST BE SAFE! The show went on!
Please come and join us anywhere that you able, we have listed all dates below, and Warren’s concerts are also among them as he sends out the news letters from his email address on our behalf.
Enjoy your vitamin D as the sun shines down on us all and the music lifts our spirits.
