I got an email from Tom Gimbel last week inviting me to play at his label’s SXSW event on the same day as my official SXSW showcase<\/a>. Tom’s label is High Wire Music<\/a> and his event is entitled ‘Hootenanny’. It is a multi-act event that features some pretty amazing acts (including the absolutely lo-fi and unique Daniel Johnston – who Kurt Cobain once famously wore a T-Shirt of on MTV). I met Tom in MIDEM in January and he had good things to say about my work. Anyway, he asked me to play when one of the acts originally slated to play had to drop out – so you won’t find me on their earlier publicity releases as I am very much a last minute inclusion. Still, I am happy to be asked and think it will be great fun.<\/p>\nAfter Austin, I will fly to London and Amsetrdam for a few meetings. It’s been years since I was last in London, so I emailed Owen Nicholas<\/a> to tell him I’m coming. Owen hails from Kuching and is a superb singer songwriter in the English folk tradition. He is studying to be a doctor and is a regular performer at many local London clubs. Owen had suggested earlier that I played a couple of shows with him if I was ever in town. After a little calling around, and despite very short notice, he wrote to me last week to say that he’d found me a slot playing a 30 minute set at a pub called ‘The White Hart’ in Whitechapel. I haven’t played in London since I was a student there. So I am really looking foward to this one too. My thanks goes to Owen and the organisers for setting this up…<\/p>\n See you there!<\/p>\n GIG DETAILS:<\/strong><\/p>\n AUSTIN 1<\/u> <\/p>\n Date: Thursday 15th March 2007 [Map]: CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n AUSTIN 2<\/u> <\/p>\n Date: Thursday 15th March 2007 [Map & More Information] – CLICK HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n LONDON<\/u><\/p>\n
