ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER

Hi everyone – here are forthcoming gigs booked so far : despite difficult family circumstances I’m still very much out and about and available...
UK shows go on as normal, mainland European tours still happen but the tour periods are shorter, that’s all.
One gig in GERMANY between Koln and Stuttgart is desperately needed on THURSDAY 6 March for myself and Barnstormer supported by Contingent from Brussels with me on bass!
(Our short tour in December was tremendous fun and we’ll be doing lots of shows together!)

Very sad news for everyone who loves Glastonbury. Arabella Churchill,  co-founder of the Festival, organiser of the Theatre/Circus Fields
and a good friend, sadly passed away just before Christmas. I have written a tribute to her on my Myspace blog, address above. Heartfelt condolences to Haggis and all her family and friends from myself and Robina. RIP Arabella.  Glastonbury will never be the same again.......
