MICHAEL GRAY SPRING TOUR: UPDATE

Next week I should be able to post some information about when tickets for each of the Irish dates go on sale. Meanwhile all the earlier dates - except at the bookshop in New Jersey - are at colleges or universities, and with one exception (the McTell talk in Athens GA) these offer free admission to the public as well as to college people.

New dates have been added in Connecticut (April 4) and in County Wicklow, Ireland (April 17).
