Supporting none other than Wilko Johnson on 19th July as part of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod fringe festival.

Norman on bass for Wilko too!!

Needless to say, I'm seriously looking fwd to this one!

Hopefully it'll be a sell out crowd of some 2500 in the pavillion arena!!

I have a friend who supported Wilko a few years ago. He said he came across as a pretty grumpy guy. But this was before his cancer scare and miracle recovery. I would assume that whole experience, has meant he probably has lightened up considerably since my friend met him.

I listened to an interview with him, on R2 recently, and he sounded proper cheery.

Don't let Norman borrow your lead!

He finishes every gig by unplugging and then dropping his lead into a large puddle of sweat ...

IIRC, Norman sometimes travels without an amp. Be prepared to share your rig*

Hey, congratulations - BIG congratulations :)

Top gig to get.
I saw Wilko with Norman a few years back, at Cambridge folk festival
Both of them and their drummer were on top form... I really enjoyed the set

Norman is still a superb player - I'd be thrilled if he had to borrow my rig :)

Enjoy the gig, I'm sure you will

Band I was in were 3rd support to Wilko and then The Animals years ago at Dingwalls and NWR wouldn't let me use his rig, mine was pretty crap at the time and he had lovely Trace stack! Nevertheless he was a top bloke and we had a good chat afterwards, nice guy, brilliant player!!
Enjoy!!
