NEARING THE END OF THIS PARTICULAR ROAD

I'm back at home after four nights' consecutive gigs - in Dublin, Galway, Maidstone and Bridport - and getting ready for the last two events of a Bob Dylan & the Poetry of the Blues tour that began in mid-February. Thanks to all the people who've posted comments in the meantime: they've all gone up this morning.

The last two performances are this week, tomorrow and Saturday:

Thursday June 4, 7.30pm
Southport Arts Centre, UK
112 Lord Street, Southport, Merseyside PR8 1DB
Box Office: 01704 540011 / www.seftonarts.co.uk
tickets £10, £8 concessions

Saturday June 6, 8pm
Holmfirth Arts Festival, UK
Holmfirth Church, Towngate, Holmfirth, West Yorkshire HD9 1HA
Box Office: 01484 682644 / info@holmfirthartsfestival.co.uk
tickets £10.

After that - the day after Holmfirth, in fact - there's Freddie's christening in geographically handy North Yorkshire and then I'm going to be at home for the summer. It's "All gratulant if rightly understood", as Wordsworth has it, unknowingly begging to differ from Bob Dylan.
