With extraordinary panache, tenacity, dedication and sheer force of personality, Nigel Price (who is an AMAZING guitarist) and his band who are all equally extraordinary musicians are going on tour. Who knows what the next three months brings ? but I have everything crossed that here in South Devon we are still able to host them in front of a live audience on Sunday 4 October. Do whatever it takes to be there ? this is going to be good!
Here's how Nigel announced this on Friday 11 September:
?Right then. There?s been a lot of talk and confusion about what?s possible right now, what the future holds and indeed what the reality of the live jazz scene is with socially distanced gigs.
This is the reality.
I don?t know if I?m brave, stupid, clever, lucky or what. All I know is that I sweated blood to get a huge tour together and I refused to let it go. Over lockdown I watched, broken hearted as the 60 dates I?d worked so hard to organise gradually pulled out, one by one. However, I was amazed to find that that many venues, like me, we?re watching and waiting, eager to get going as soon as the law would allow.
The day the Arts Council reopened in July I was ready with a bid and I?m pleased to say that it was successful. Massive thanks to them.
I completely understand, respect and empathise with anybody, promoters and musicians alike, who feel it?s too early to open up. However, there are just as many that are prepared to get moving, despite everything.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those promoters who put up with my tenacity and sorry to those that I had to let down.
We are DONE watching. We are DONE waiting. We are GOING ON TOUR!?
