And we’re off again. Birmingham, Cardiff, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool coming up over the next month. After the first gig at the Festival Hall in January, this Classical celebration of some of the best selling dance music of all time continues with a national tour. It’s performed by the 50 strong London Concert Orchestra including Drums, Bass, Guitar and three Synth players. The perfect chance for fans to re-live and re-experience the hits such as The Chemical Brothers – ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’, Dario G – ‘Sunchyme’, Faithless – ‘Insomnia’, Fatboy Slim – ‘Right Here, Right Now’ and many more.

More Dire Travels
And so the gigs go on for the Dire Straits Experience. From Budapest in early April to Russia a week later. Three gigs covering Moscow, Ufa and Yekateringberg. One unexpected mode of transport was the overnight sleeper train to Ufa. I even managed to bump into some old mates in Red Square ! And then a week ago we had a one off gig on the Azores - a beautiful collection of Islands right out in the North Atlantic. Coming up soon we leave for two weeks touring the Netherlands with eight gigs. June will be quiet on the DSE front, which is just well as Ill be continuing with a series of Ministry of Sound gigs with the concert promoter Raymond Gubbay.
The Ministry of Sound Goes Classic !
"And now for something completely different"... to quote a rather famous TV show. On Saturday 26th January I’ll be playing at the Royal Festival Hall in a premier concert of 90s Dance Music reworked in an orchestral style by Tom Player and conducted by Lee Reynolds. The London Concert orchestra will feature 50 musicians, including electronic drums, rhythm section and three synth players. There will be video clips and guest artists. This is just the first of six UK concerts. In June the whole show will be travelling to Cardiff, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool.
