October and November tour

By Jim Bowes // News // 31 Comments

I’m very pleased to annouce that I’ll back on the road this autumn – heading out on my own headline UK tour during October and November. All of the dates currently booked are below, we’ll be adding a few more in the next week or so.

For those of you in Europe we’re planning to annouce some dates in June, we’ll update those on this list as soon as we have the information….

If any of you are heading to the Isle of Wight Festival, in addition to Mike and the Mechanics set on the main stage, I’ll be playing in the Acoustic/garden tent on the same evening (Saturday 11th June) at about 9.30pm.

All of the tour dates are on the gig page.

After the reception at the Mechanics gig in Newcastle (Gateshead!) last night, it is clear that the Geordies need more Roachford in their lives!!! Please come and rock the place out!

Why on the UK tour later in the year is there such big differences in the ticket prices for each venue? Only £10 at York but £16 at Manchester and £17.50 for Liverpool.

This is poor on the fans as we all know regional dates should all be the same price and a couple of extra pounds are charged for London, this is how it has always worked so whats changed?

  Hi Darren,
  
  The venue’s on the October November dates have different ways of working out their cost. like if the advertising is done in house or they have to get an outside company in, venue Insurance rent of the building for the day etc….. These factors on these size venue affect the ticket prices.

Can’t believe I missed that Roachford was playing with M&TM. Caught one song on Isle of Wight Festival, still the man!! Would love to see you in Glasgow as Edinburgh on a Wed night is impossible to get babysitters for!! Here’s hoping, good to have you back. Still mind Tuts when Permanent Shade of Blue came out, still in top 5 all time gigs.

Hi guys, I have got 2 tickets for the York gig, our babysitter has had an accident and we are unable to go to the gig, I am gutted!! so I have one or two tickets to give away, if someone in the Newcastle area wants 1 ticket, its your very lucky day, as I will be able to go and give you a lift, if not I will give the 2 tickets away to what will be an amazing gig!! Just get in touch with Stephen who runs the site and he will pass on my details… I hope!! see you next time Andrew, thanks

Excellent gig at the Musician in Leicester thanks to Andrew and his great band, well done for surviving the heat! Thank you for signing my album and for a chat. I had brought my Brother along with me who was not that familiar with your songs, he was really impressed and is hoping to see you again in London later on the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed the concert and what a great crowd, was a little wedged in so could not go completely dance crazy when you did ‘Cuddly toy’ to take me back to my teenage years. You are still absolutely amazing Andrew what a beautiful voice look forward to seeing you again in concert someday, loving the new album your albums are like a box of chocolates which one shall I pick next? Love them!

Excellent gig in York last night. My third gig after Fat Sams in Dundee in 1988 or 9, Manchester Academy a few years ago and now as an old man in York. Like the new album too. Glad I bought it a few days before the show. Good to here the old stuff too.
