Hi everyone
I have just got confirmation that I will be playing here in June
http://www.greatstbarts.com/
It is a lovely church/concert venue and has been used in a load of famous films. I recognise it from Four Weddings and a Funeral, but it has been in loads of other famous films too
These are the films that have used it

I wonder if that church was used in The Divinci Code. Very impressive Matt!

Not sure about this church being used but I remember them using Lincoln Cathedral for the Notre Dame sections because LIncoln is very close to where I live and the news was full of it.

The father from the Church seems like a really great guy and very modern thinking. He has a facebook page for the Church and is a regular blogger
As a quick message to other players on the forums who want/need more gigs. Please do not ever underestimate the power of a 'mail shot'
ie sending say 100 venues e mails with sound clips and a biography. It is like the Bible parable. A lot of the seeds thrown, fall onto rock etc, but a few go to the right place and grow!!
Ian, in light of the above too, I am also in negotiation with St Martin In The Field too in London!! This will be one of the biggest and notable places I have played,
IF I get a chance to play there!

If I never played live again after that; it wouldn't matter! It is a life ambition to do that one. I will keep you posted.
2010 reasons to be excited
1.The above
2. The World Cup
3.A General Elcetion
4.The new Randy footage
