Our UK Summer shows. Ready or not…

[TANIA OPLAND]

Ready for the next exciting installment of the lives and adventures of Mike and Tania on the road? We hope we are!

After a couple of dates in the UK last month we returned to Ireland to spend a few busy but relaxed weeks before heading back over for more shows. That was the plan. Why do we even bother to make plans? We won’t go into the details of emergency dental care in Ireland, nor the impossibility of getting an emergency plumber. Yes, that was two emergencies in the one sentence, and only two weeks apart.

It’s nearly time to get back on the road and share some of our wild adventures (the fun ones) and music with you. We’ll see how many instruments we can play with our fingers crossed against the house flooding while we’re away.

29 May - Northumberland

Wall Village Hall, nr Hexham

3 June - Lincolnshire

Spalding Folk Club @ South Holland Ctr

5 June - Norfolk

Norwich Folk Club @ Christ Church Ctr

10 June - Surrey

Dorking Folk Club @ Dorking Golf Club

Details are hazy for the rest of the Summer and for Autumn as well. We’ll have to send updates as things coalesce.

Winter is looking interesting already. We’ll start the month of December with a duo show, and then team up with William Pint and Felicia Dale for our now infamous (IMHO) Winter’s Return show. We’ve been doing these concerts together since 2010 and they just keep getting better! www.wintersreturn.com

5 Dec - Richland, Washington

Three Rivers Folklife Society present Opland-Freeman @ All Saints Episcopal Church

11 Dec - Suquamish, Washington

Winter’s Return @ Suquamish United Church of Christ

19 Dec - Seattle, Washington

Seattle Folklore Society present Winter’s Return @ Phinney Neighborhood Center

Here’s hoping we’ll see you again soon, somewhere down this road.
