It's that time ;) feel free to add to the Nick tour dates thread 2015!

Before one year even ends, another touring year is plotted

Just the one for now - Basingstoke Central Studio on Saturday 21 February 2015...

Next up, Sheffield! One for Chris as I know he's a big fan of this Thornbridge pub

The Greystones, Sheffield, Saturday 14 March 2015

I am in deed ... but alas all of my northern mates who I used to go to this gig ( or other Sheffield gigs ) with, are no longer Nick fans (!) so it'll take some amazing persuasion for them to go with me .... I need 'em for somewhere to kip !!

 

Oh man I'm sure we can figure out something! I once scoped out a hotel not far from there at all if all else fails...

And WHAT UP WITH YOUR FRIENDS? Sheesh

 

I've just booked a room in a hotel owned by The Church Army (?!?!) but can cancel by 12th March, so it's still not a done deal that I'll be there !!

 

Oooh am intrigued

 

Also just booked a 3 bedroom apartment at the same place (http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/wilson-carlile-centre.en-gb.html) for the Friday & Saturday - so I'll see if I can convince my southern mates that they "need" a 2 day break in Sheffield in March ... again can cancel booking by 12th March

 

Shrewwwwwsbury! Sunday 26th April 2015...

Of Course this isn't a 2015 gig but is Nicks last for 2014 so near enough

I'm putting on Nicks final Gig for 2014 + support act on Saturday 20th December at my house in Llanymynech ( between Oswestry and Welshpool). We can only hold 50 ( 55 at a push) in the 18ft room and it has all but sold out with just 6 tickets left. This is going to be a brilliant gig up close and personal and somthing very special for Christmas. Tickets are just £10.00 and we have a charity bar for the night. If anyone wants any of these last few tickets can you please follow the link to the FB page and message me there and i'll get right back to you. All accomodation has been taken but if anyone is travelling and wants to stop over i can give you the links for a couple of b&bs within a 5 to 10 minute walk....https://www.facebook.com/theintimategigcompany?fref=ts

Oddly enough, it looks like he's also there the next night, opening for Dennis Greaves and Mark Feltham!

(edit 28/1: now that there's a gig in Neath that night, not sure this is true )
(edit 2/3: errm, now Neath is in November, sooooo maybe? )

Robin 2 in Wolverhampton (been a while since he's been there), Thursday 22 October:

Not on their website yet but off to Neath Little Theatre on Saturday 17 October Saturday 7 November ticket link from the Ents24 page:

Coincidence? Feltham played on 'Once' - there is a Harper connection there.

 

Fair enough, and I think they may share bookers, however as Nick is now supposed to be in Wales that night I suspect that was a misprint (see above)

 

NICK HARPER REVIEW BASINGSTOKE QMC 22/02/15

Amazing! Or amayonnaiseing, depending on your punning taste in saucy serious entertainment.... acerbic banter/ interactive wit mixing with the audience, combined with sonorous songs and explanatory altruistic preambles, which gave it credence to reinforce emphatically the message within he endeavours to communicate to the Universe at large..

The guitar was coniferous; the sound cavernous; the voice was chasm-less; the lyrics carnivorous; the banter capricious and the whole night a cornucopia of carnival-ness ...x nite all x

 

Nick did also mention that the annual Avebury charity spectacle will probably happen later in the year in Marlborough now due to some pagan outburst locally? Also looks like the Basingstoke QMC venue has fiscal problems to sort out and looks a bit tenuous at the moment for future gigs/open mics...

Thanks for the shout out Andi - but couldn't you just have said that I turned up and we had a nice chat, instead of insulting me ?

 

Its a Southern Man sense of humour soz Big man! x

 

No again Chris sorry.. been thinking about it all day! Just that I am 6' tall [probably shrinking with age now a bit] and every time I see you and your fellow large associates you seemingly dwarf me as a minnow! Corpulence also can be metaphorically construed as 'person of great wealth' which is what I was endeavouring to import and not physically taking the piss but your mental appreciation of your taste in serious music... x

He does look like a young Nick in this...

 

He does look like a young Nick eh? x [ Soz previous vid post disabled for some reason...]

 

Right in an effort to try and get this thread back on to Nick (!?) - the venue for his Super Night in Marlborough on Saturday 7th March has changed and it ain't in Marlboro anymore; but is 30 mins away at http://www.roseandcrownashbury.com - they tried to spin this as been better, more intimate - which no doubt it might be; but what about the folk ( like us ) who have booked accommodation in Marlboro for the night - NOT impressed !! We have managed to cancel our B&B ( cost £10 in fees ) and have booked a room in the actual venue.
