Del McCoury Band heading to the UK

The Del McCoury Band will spend the second half of July touring in the British Isles, with 7 shows during that time in England, Scotland and Ireland. Fans in the UK will have a chance to see this powerful and engaging entertainer in person, some perhaps for the first time.

The dates and cities are as follows:

July 25 - Glasgow, Scotland
July 26 – Manchester, England
July 27 - Newcastle, England
July 29 – Athboy, Ireland
July 30 – Cheshire, England
July 31 – Birmingham, England
August 1 – London, England

More details about the venues can be found on the Del McCoury web site.

UPDATE 6/22: Thanks to our friend Richard Thompson in England, who pointed out that several of the Del shows in the UK will feature him as a supporting act on Nanci Griffith tour dates. If you contact a venue and they report no knowledge of a Del McCoury concert, ask about the Nanci Griffith show.
