Well November and December sees perhaps the biggest and best Daintees tour for years. Fifteen dates across the country, and culminating in a headline spot at The Great British Folk Festival, playing the Boat To Bolivia album in its entirety, along with a few other classic Daintees tunes to boot. This is simply one tour not to be missed. Tickets are already on sale, and can be found at the links below: www.daintees.co.uk http://www.gigsandtours.com/ Interview On the eve of the tour, I had a chat with Martin about the making of Boat To Bolivia. Q: Can you remember the moment when you first knew you were going to be recording your debut album? What did it feel like? A: Yes but it was way back in 1980, I would head from Washington Tyne & Wear to Hall Farm
