Maybe he could fit in Telfords or Middlewich a bit later pretty please:biggrin:

Just so I have this right, are you *strongly suggesting* I revert to first post and edit that each time so all updates appear on that first post of thread?

[Bob Jacobs]

and put a "book page" on the community website with the latest version on it. Second thoughts, keep it updated and just point forum readers at it with a link.

Just a suggestion but I think it's how Paul would like to do it, given the way he's designed the site. I think it will be easier for readers too. Don't know about everyone else but when I visit the forum I tend to look at the ends of the recently updated threads first, then only work back if I think it looks interesting, pausing on Andi's only to raise my blood pressure :-)

Bob

[dim]

yeh, just re-edit the first post each time to update it.. by march/april when people have posted multiple times in here about which gigs they are going to etc where is the actual tour list going to be...

page 1? page 3? page 7? page 32?

see the problem.. :wink:

[scotpaulabear]

Okay there are benefits both ways :D Some kind of book/wiki page anyone can update would be good, plus you can still add the gig to this thread and say you've updated the gigs page...

Saying it's best to update the first post in this thread means either a mod has to do it or we're assuming it's always Ms. PR who will find the gigs :wink:

[HarperPR]

Don't know about everyone else but when I visit the forum I tend to look at the ends of the recently updated threads first, then only work back if I think it looks interesting

I do too, Bob. People can see that it is an Update by looking at the subject box.

It's not a competition anyway, about who puts what where. And no one will be in any danger of missing a gig next year because they haven't heard about it.

Once Nick has fully confirmed all the dates he will put those up on his website. I am not putting here any which aren't already on the net and tickets on sale for (even though I'm dying to because there are some nice special ones....:wink:), as I know that some venues will not be announcing until after New Year.

[bigchris]

just did my daily trip to ents24 to see who's on ... twas a nice surprise to see Nick listed with his photo topping the "Top New Tours" list !! No extra dates added ... but still good to see !!

If by the time you read this ... someone else has pushed him off the top ... then here it is for prosperity :

[scotpaulabear]

How cool... the Jackson 5 are getting back together :D

That's wicked, Chris, thanks for spotting it!

[bigchris]

if my message ... tempted you to go to the site and you spoted that news about the Jackson 5 ... then I feel ashamed !!

Harper in playing-Brighton-but-not-Komedia shock!

Saturday 28 March
The Latest Bar, Manchester Street, Brighton
http://thelatest.co.uk/musicbar/nick-harper-plays-here-in-march

[HarperPR]

Not a shock really. As a) this is Joogleberrys as was with a new name (and we liked Joogles!) and b) NICK IS DOING 2 SHOWS HERE THIS NIGHT!

[Marcie]

...that Paul has a gig that very same night in Letchworth...

If it were closer to home, I'd pass on that and come to the Brighton gig solo. But as this is further north, it gives us a chance to have a badly needed weekend away together.

So, as a consolation - unless a closer gig comes along - we're going to shoot for the Half-Moon gig on May 2.

[scotpaulabear]

I hope I can too Marcie! My mate Jan and I are in discussions about making the effort for this one, especially on a Saturday and the May Day weekend :biggrin:

[Marcie]

I hope I can too Marcie! My mate Jan and I are in discussions about making the effort for this one, especially on a Saturday and the May Day weekend :biggrin:
Paula - if you got to this gig, it would be beyond brilliant! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: I really can't wait to meet up with you all (not to mention finally seeing the man in action)!

[HarperPR]

I am sure you'll meet lots of 'locals' here, the Half Moon, Marcie (and yes, I did see your post here before your text!), but shame about your not being able to do Brighton.

But for both Brighton (small venue) and London (sold out before night last time), I would strongly advise that people don't leave ticket buying until the night as there may well not be any!

[Marcie]

Thanks, Linn... it will be good to see everyone there.

It is a damn shame about Brighton, especially when it's round the corner from me.

I saw that tix for Half Moon are 10 quid a pop so shouldn't be a problem ordering them online a bit in advance....

[HarperPR]

Wait till I PM you before you do. They won't go at the HM this early anyway! I just hope the credit crunch doesn't affect people's disposable income for these kind of things.:closedeyes:

[dim]

credit crunch?

what credit crunch.....?

has nobody noticed yet...recession does not effect the poor...

oh, the poor sods with the £2k a month mortgage that suddently goes up to £2.5k a month.. theyre screwed, but us poor sods with £50 a week disposable income, no car, no mortage, no credit card bills, we are really up the creek when our local restaurant pushes the price of pizza and a pint up from £7 to £7.50 :D

Dim
still not figured out what this recession lark is all about...

[HarperPR]

Dates are going up on forums individually. Do a Google! Anyone who can help pitch in - please do!

If you put the subject in caps with the main details, ie NICK HARPER @ BIRMINGHAM GLEE CLUB MAR 15 09, it means the basic facts can be noted even if one doesn't open the link.

[HarperPR]

no its not that one... :m21:


I told you there would be surprises....:wink: (No, not that one!:biggrin:) And there are a few coming.....

[pete c]

Just noticed that the Celtic Connections gig is NICK HARPER PLUS DUKE SPECIAL

!!!!

Is there a collaboration in the offing? Two of my favourite artists on the same night, I may have to make a special trip.

I'm pitching in, by the way PR....

Any Northern Ireland dates in the pipeline?

Dunno if he's thought about pipelines :biggrin: but then again, he did play tunnels...:)

But back to the tour, has anyone yet bought tickets for the Half Moon (aside from bigchris) or Birmingham, or planning definitely to go to either? Note that Nick will be in the smaller capacity studio at the Glee and this could well be another sell-out in advance show, so don't leave it and be sorry!

[scotpaulabear]

Little Scottish/Yank bear, and faithful traveling companion/promoter/goddess Jan, now have tickets purchased for Putnaaaaaaaaaaay. Have already recruited 3 virgin sacrifices. That's my work done for today :m3:

Linn,

You've just reminded me ... who organises the support act ? i.e. does Nick get a say in it or is it the venues choice ... or maybe even yourself ? Reason why I ask, is that I have someone in mind for one of the gigs that hasn't been officially announced yet ... and just wondered if it's worth telling someone ( you/nick/venue ) about them beforehand ?!?

Chris.

[HarperPR]

Depends...often a combination! Some of the dates the venues are not having an opening act at all.

PM me with details and I can let you know.

[Travellerman]

Ha! We're not there that long - about a week.... :D

love

Moth

I averaged £75 a day including airfares, and for the first time ever on my travels I was watching the budget as the prices were incredible (literally), the cheapest accommodation, the minimum amount of food, no extravagances.

If I had to go back for a week I'd be off Tahiti in a flash as it's a hole, probably head to Moorea and stay there.

Have a great trip though....

[Watcher]

Why are the tour dates not on harperspace? - I've been checking there regularly and have just found they've been on here for months. Hope there're still tix for The Cluny! Am I looking in the wrong place on harperspace? I click on Harpic on tour and there are only three dates.

[scotpaulabear]

Hi Watcher, I think it's customary for the whole tour to be confirmed before it goes up on Nick's site, but I'll check to see if I can put the known dates up on Myspace ASAP... :biggrin:

[HarperPR]

I put dates here when tickets on sale/ confirmed by venue and/or up on the net. I do keep saying that the forum is the place to look first!:wink::biggrin:

btw, noticed Nick's MySpace not logged into since Dec 3. I think it might need a health check from when I looked a week ago...:wink::) I am happy to give Paula a hand if it's a bit time-consuming. These networking sites might have their advantages, but they're almost a full-time job in themselves sometimes!

[pd]

I do keep saying that the forum is the place to look first!:wink::biggrin:
I've been trying to plug the forums for Nick tour news on the RH podcasts as well :)

I want to put the tour up on the stormcock.net "front page" but wanted to wait until it was 90% in place as editing it is a right nuisance... what do you think, HarperPR?

[scotpaulabear]

Hey, I won't apologise for having been really busy but I am on the Myspace site now and it is under control, thanks. I'll put up the full tour dates as soon as I have them. And is this forum the best place to look for them? Some of these may not be totally confirmed even if they're on the net...

[HarperPR]

I want to put the tour up on the stormcock.net "front page" but wanted to wait until it was 90% in place as editing it is a right nuisance... what do you think, HarperPR?

I think the best thing for the front page is to wait until they are up on the main site. That way you have all the full tour dates together, confirmed and set.

I know fans want to know what's happening well in advance to make travel and financial plans etc for gigs, but sometimes dates get changed at the last minute or ticket prices are still being sorted so that's why they tend to go up all as a whole on harperspace.

[dim]

Flyers/posters being uploaded as i do them.

http://www.dim.741.com/Sites/Pageplus/Flyers/nickflyers2008.html
(or just go to dimspace.co.uk and click on nick2008 at bottom of screen)

If someone lives near a venue that doesnt yet have a poster done and can flyer a bit etc then let me know and i will add it to the list... only takes two minutes to do each one, just let me have ALL of the details...

Paula>> glasgow is on there now... pdf and jpeg - just check before printing...

[HarperPR]

And don't be fooled by Dim's little 2008 tease - they DO all relate to this year!:biggrin:

Some venues are doing their own posters, so maybe check first to save time and effort.

Would anyone in Sheffield area be able to drop some flyers into Jack's?

[dim]

ooh... thats a very good point.. will change that later...

twas 2008 when i started doing em.. it takes me about two months to negotiate a year change usually...

[critch]

Just out of interest, is there a site that you could upload them all to - i.e. like flickr or kodak or something that one could then order prints from? The ones I've suggested just deal with photos as far as I'm aware, but it might be useful for people if they're going to flyer, just to go online themselves and order a few hundred flyers! Certainly could have been easier for me when I was doing it in St H last year!

[HarperPR]

All dates confirmed and up.

Who wanted more Southampton, and a Portsmouth, and a Liverpool, and a Hebden Bridge - they're all there! And Basingstoke - specially for Andi!

http://www.harperspace.com

[SteveT]

Ah, I see. That's why you wanted me to buy the Brighton tickets quickly (50 miles away) - so that I now have to go there and to the two gigs that are only one mile and twenty miles away as well! :thumbup:

[HarperPR]

:wink: Did you manage to book in the end for Brighton, Steve? It'll be a nice day out for you!:)

[SteveT]

Yep - both shows. I'll be as knackered as Nick if I get to S*uthampton the night before as well.

[dim]

erm.. could do.. not sure how financially viable it would work out..

one part of b&w is that it can be fairly cheaply photocopied or printed from either the pdf or the jpeg for about 5p-10p a copy... 100 b&w copies is about a fiver... cheap as chips, i find kall kwick are by far the best for copying b&w.. independants tend to be very tight on toner and you end up with grey posters.. ;) kall kwicks are always lovely crisp black... the last tour ones used in exeter where superb.. dont be scared if you go somewhere, ask for a single copy and if your not happy with it TELL THEM.. your the customer, your asking for a service... KK in exeter know not to mess.. i get lovely black copies every time.. ;)

if you can find me somewhere online that can roll em out cheaper than that then i will upload the images there...

(just looked.. flikr dont print for uk, and there partners are damn expensive... ive had a good loook round at flyer printers as your looking £50 per 1k ish, cos they automatically price for full colour, and the colour version of the posters was binned by the boss...)

if you can find somewhere im happy to put them there, but if costs are to be reasonable, b&w is far cheaper...

See what ya can come up with mate.. ;)

[HarperPR]

Yep - both shows. I'll be as knackered as Nick if I get to S*uthampton the night before as well.

Fantastic!:) At least you haven't got to sing and play guitar as well.

[just jane]

:52:Its not fair I will be in France for the three that are within 20 miles of me:36:

[dim]

so sort him a gig in france... theres a few days where hes got nothing to do... :beatdeadhorse5:

[HarperPR]

Having got quite attached to my working Inca title, an explanation for the flyers title.

One of the 38 works on three levels: it refers to the stupendous song of the same name (at present anyhow), relates to the epic LHS Everest trek and the number of participants...and...(if anyone hasn't yet spotted it!) why I left the 2 Scottish dates off to start was not to give away that there would be how many?...yes, 38 gigs.:) So each show is - 'one of the 38'! So now you know.:wink:

[HarperPR]

so sort him a gig in france... theres a few days where hes got nothing to do... :beatdeadhorse5:

Noooo!!! Don't do that! Then there won't be 38 anymore and all the PR plans will go up the Swannee!:biggrin:

[dim]

38 with the two scottish ones, or without... ?

cos i did the scottish posters without the 1/38 strapline...

oh noooooo... maybe there are only 36 again.... :D

[HarperPR]

Yep - both shows. I'll be as knackered as Nick if I get to S*uthampton the night before as well.

Steve, will you also be at the Cellars? I think you'll want to: the support - if the guys haven't already told you? - is acoustic Visitors! Not the full monty, just Jim and another.

For general info, tickets £10 on sale for this date on March 21, will be available from Jan 26. As the last one sold out before the night here, it's another to book in advance for.

[SteveT]

I've emailed the guy to put some tickets aside for me but I've had no response as yet.

It'll be great with The Visitors again. Their set the other week was really good and lively but I felt a bit sorry for Emily Barker who could have done with a bit more hush around the place.

[Marcie]

A belated happy new year everybody... just came up for air and got these gig dates up on my Absolute Radio (formerly Virgin Radio) VIP page, as well as the wonderful intro vid that Dave Burnham put together. Hope to meet some of you down the line in 2009. :biggrin:

Cheers, Marcie! Ever dependable. News has gone out to sites as well and when they go up I will then send the 'News' link to Absolute.

[aspwatterson]

Dates are going up on forums individually. Do a Google! Anyone who can help pitch in - please do!

My goodness what a tour! With so many gigs it must be a nightmare coping with all the extra work? Thank god for computers maybe? If there's anything I can do in Basingstoke let me know.Central Studios haven't put the gig up on their website yet, perhaps it's too early?

chrs
andi

[HarperPR]

Funny you shoudl ask that, Andi!:wink:

I don't have time right now, but there were a few ideas Dim and I have been discussing, so he if he reads this first before I get back to it maybe he can put up those points (can you, Dim?:)).

[dim]

one thing that has been discussed is getting all the gigs listed onto skiddle
www.skiddle.com

so far exeter is on there and bar 1:22 and glee club have both been put on... would be good to get them all up there as skiddle send out regular emails to a lot of people (for instance just within 50 miles of exeter there are more than 2500 members) - long job to get all 38 on there though..

if people have half an hour to spare, and could register there and start putting the gigs on it would be really good...

probably better if people pick 4 or 5 to put up on there and post here first, so that others dont duplicate it...

quite a good write up on the glee one that could be used if people need some text...>>>
"There are guitarists. And there are guitarists. And then there’s the man they call Harpic. Nick Harper.A virtuoso guitarist whose unique style, distinctively soulful voice and passionate delivery combine for a live performance that is at one spontaneous, enthralling and emotionally-charged. Biting satire, charmingly caustic wit and covers of anything from Zappa to Zeppelin, place Harper a league apart from anyone you may have seen or heard before. He’s worked with artists as diverse as Dizzee Rascal, the Levellers, Jimmy Page, Squeeze and, of course, his father, the celebrated folk artist Roy Harper. And played on stages from Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall, to Base Camp, Mt Everest and on the High Andean Inca Trail at Machu Picchu. A folk troubadour. An acoustic balladeer. With a touch of rock’n’roll on the side. As one journalist commented: “Go and see this man live and then you will fully appreciate the intense virtuosity of his guitar-playing, his soulful singing, the intimate brilliance of his song-writing and the bloody funny way he puts it all across.” What more could you ask?"

Phew, thanks for that!

Only *quite a good write-up*?:wink: I thought it was VERY good: I writ it.:D

Further to what Dim said, it'd be fantastic if everyone could muck in in some way and get this tour to sell out - 38 times!

Another idea from Sir Dim was if we could possibly get some hands on board with flyer distribution. Andi, for example, could you put a flyer on the events noticeboard at your Basingstoke library for that gig? Same in other venue towns: libraries, TICs, record stores, handing out if you're at a gig at the venue before - anywhere that's applicable.

Dim, could people do a basic printer/photocopier job on these flyers?

[aspwatterson]

Have done Basingstoke Central Studio on Skiddle. Please check to see if it looks okay. Rather proud of myself as it's the first I've ever done!

andi

ps Yes I can do flyers/posters if you send me the format for download/printing.

[HarperPR]

Oh, that's brilliant of you. Thanks, A.

Will sort out Basingstoke and pass to Dim so he can do the fiddly bits. Should have a PDF by...middle/end next week (? Dim).

[dim]

as soon as i get the details, they dont take long.. about 5 minutes each...

as for photocopying.. refer to my post about a page ago, places like kall kwik are good, theyre cheap but they dont skimp on toner, and you actually get black posters.. go to your local corner shop or wherever and they skimp on toner and you get grey wishy washy posters on cheap paper...

[HarperPR]

On the Skiddle site, shall we see how many different pics of Nick we can get up there!

Of the other listings sites, I'm ploughing through Ents 24, LastFM, Upcoming Yahoo, Brit Events, Where Can We Go and Gumtree.

There's Remote Goat and Gig Junkie that I haven't touched yet - anyone able to put some dates up on those? Also, local newspaper forums and town/county community forums.

[aspwatterson]

Because Central Studio Basingstoke don't seem to have a valid email address and Basingstoke don't exist on Remote Goat's town lists you can't include them as a venue on a RG prefixed postcode. Will try and get their email addy when I'm passing that way tomorrow unless you have extra resources at your fingertips of finding it? Have emailed Remote Goat [what a name!] to include Basingstoke on their town listings as well.

Have entered it on Gig Junkie and had to curtail Description because of length of blurb. Now bloody Gig Junkie have told me there's been an error which they have to investigate and get back to me [tomorrow prob?]. Maybe I didn't enter a www. destination to order tickets? Central Studio do apologise that their Internet option ain't up to scratch at the moment. This is getting more complicated as it goes along but am learning fast!

Like the pic with The Vic listing on Skiddle. Whose is it? Can I use too?

You missed out an 'r' in the name, did you notice? They get to you after a bit, typing them out again and again. I did one on LastFM and missed an 'N' so he turned out as 'ick'!:biggrin:

I haven't had time to register there, but are we able to go back and edit/add photo once posted? Be nice to get a pic with Basingstoke too.

oh to update people who are thinking about exeter.. it is advertised as standing, but it wont be, but it wont be the usual teired theatre style seating that the phoenix has.. so they cant sell it as allocated seats.. will be a couple of rows of tables, cafe style and then standing behind... should be cosy... :D

Dim, Andi

Can you have a look at how your Skiddle listings are doing in terms of views.

Of those I put up, last total view count was 545 with the 5 leaders being:
Worcester (93), Hereford (77), Portsmouth (69), Bristol (61), Brighton (59).

If we only get one ticket sale from each it'd be a plus!

[aspwatterson]

Let me know of anything else or listings still needed. Some of the venues haven't got Nick listed yet on their sites cos we are a bit premature I presume? Like Dim says the final push at marketing the event is right at the end depending on whether the gig is sold out and does not need anymore redundant people like us promotionalising.

[HarperPR]

Thanks, Critch, email me with what you can do/would like to do.

Listings are one thing. If you look at the separate venue threads in this forum, all the info you should need for various dates are there. They have all been confirmed and verified by the promoter. Some details may not be up on the venue's site, but if it's up here it means I have spoken with them and they are aware we're rolling out what they have verbally confimed.:)

[HarperPR]

please all read the chester telford's thread in this forum.

thanks.

Searched for Chester and Telford on the thread. Even a bloke supposedly known as Chester Telford and the search just seems to go back to Coatbridge?

Andi, Dim

Could you check Skiddle and see how many you get - it's showing up 36 - but I don't see Nottm, Sheff, Southampton, Heb Bridge, Spilsby...

I might be going listings blind though....!:confused1:

Have put up Nottingham. Will look at the rest this pm if no one else has done it and I can find the specs. Know what you mean by list blind! Dunno how you do it for a living?

[HarperPR]

Those Skiddle nos are definitely wonky: not 37 (thanks for Nottm, A) but 32 with Soton, Sheff, Spilsby and Heb Bdg to add. Does make me wonder in that case if their event views are totally accurate though? Worcester still out in the lead of mine, with Hereford fast catching up on the rails.:)

(I don't know about Incas and 38s, I think this tour should have been called 'The No Sleep Til Hebden Bridge Tour'!:biggrin:

Didn't know if you saw this mssge prev?..sometimes I've found it's easier to only check the latest post on the Forum; but you can miss the others on the Thread history? For instance one min. you are on 'Back from the Inca Trail' [In this snow? Can you imagine?] and then Posters/Flyers 2009?

You don't need to reply, but have found the Radio listing sites a bit more confusing compared to Skiddle. Have a look later. Keep on email maybe and out of Forum?

Okay am registered now and will continue to add the ones that I added on Skiddle. I see Hereford, Leeds,B'ham and Swindon already up. Just turned the page and see more have been put up so trying to cancel Sheffield Boardwalk coz it's up there twice but can't seem to find delete venue option. No! I'm going list blind now and have been looking at Nick's gigs in 2008! Am going to go out now and throw a few snowballs at policemen and traffic wardens for a break to relieve the tension!

Which one are you doing? Some get added by other people. But I suppose better to have twice than not at all!

[HarperPR]

Could we have an update with the listings - not Skiddle - and what's gone up. Andi, did you do a bunch on Gig Junkie? There were some there and I added more today. About 20
there now. Where are we with LiveMusicFM? Anyone spotted any other listings sites worth a Harpic blitz?

div.topbanner {

Dim, I hate to have to tell you, but on your banner....there are 38 dates but thirty nine shows!:)

hang on.. now youve lost me..

there are only actually about 36 dates/shows listed cos the early one isnt on there and as far as i can tell there are only 37 dates...

im confused.. :/

[scotpaulabear]

2 shows in Brighton maybe? :confused1:
Dunno, I can't count anymore :wink:

Oh and thanks for the code Dim, I found some very similar code on the net last night to put it up on Harperspace, but I may go see how it changes with what you gave... :biggrin:

[HarperPR]

well i only counted 37

yeah, okay, if you discount the first two. But your banner says 38 shows and remember there's two at Brighton...:confused1: But there again, Skiddle insists there's 43 events!

[HarperPR]

Note to Dim.

Supporting artists all working hard!:wink: They all seem really up for their NH date. Got another 3 on board today to help fly (from the PDF). Let me know when you have the 3/way Chester copies ready to despatch.

would have looked crap as a banner basically.. :P

Andi, what's this with 5,686 Buxton Skiddle views then?:confused1: You having a laugh?! I think Buxton was mine anyway, as an afterthought...so you couldn't see 'em!

To answer Ryan's comment on what's wrong with Wales. Nothing! Just how it works out and I'm sure Nick'll make up for it. And he did do Snowdon, Tenby and Hay (that's Wales-ish, isn't it, or near as) last year.

Hope not all 5,686 turn up! That'd be a squish and a half! Mind you, if that's the taking around there they need an arena....Echo arena, manchester evening news arena..and you know what's coming...skipton reporter arena!

LINN/

It's true as I sit here watching the screen. Skiddle web visits - Buxton 5,745 , Basingstoke 248. Was going to phone Skiddle [or you can] and ask them to check what the hell is going on. Perhaps you put up Bilston instead? Perhaps web searchers are putting in Buxton mountain water and it's getting transfered to Nick's mountain exploits or something?

PS Linn you could post a note about Nick's tour on the Manchester City football site from the last pod notes. There definitely are some Harper fans there and t'would be a good bit of publicity...we may have to hire their football ground though to cope with the crowds turning up?! Roy may even turn up! How proud he would feel watching his son perform at Maine Road!!

PPS Yeah Buxton just jumped right up in the last 3 days..hadn't checked it for a while so don't if it was cumulative or a glitch. I would seriously phone Skiddle and query the fact.

PPPS And check the ticket sales/requests at the Venue maybe? I see Newcastle Cluny listed twice.

[HarperPR]

Yes, you're right, I didn't do that one!

Hell's bells....5,745!:w00t:

There has to be something going on...?:confused1: No way, can that be right. Was that all of a sudden it jumped up massively?

I wonder if the infamous Dickie Burn has been there...?:wink::D
