HEARTLANDS FESTIVAL - THE LEE THOMPSON SKA ORCHESTRA

THE LEE THOMPSON SKA ORCHESTRA will be playing The Heartlands Festival in Cornwall supporting UB40 on Friday September 12th. A long way for some but possibly not for others. Come down if you are one of the latter. It will be good!

THE LEE THOMPSON SKA ORCHESTRA PLAY THE BIG FEASTIVAL

We will be playing at 3pm at Jamie Oliver and Alex James's Big Feastival on Sunday 31st August. Nearest train station is Kingham. If the weather is good this looks to be a treat. If it isn't . . . well I'm sure it will still be a treat.

BUCKLEY'S CHANCE

I will be up in my home town of Edinburgh to play a wedding and a gig (on the 30th August) at The Cricket Club on Leith Links. This band is so good that - the last time we played in Edinburgh - four Glaswegians cancelled their last train back and slept rough so that they could see the rest of the set. Should be a joy! And only a fiver to get in!

NUTTY BOYS/ CRUNCH REFORMATION

Our first gig for six years! And then our second. Then . . . well who knows. The Nutty Boys (going out as the Lee Thompson Band) will be playing The Fiddlers Elbow on Sunday 3rd August, £10.00 on the door, doors open at 7pm. And next Friday: Boomtown Festival at Midday. Should be an event!

NEW RELEASE BY THE MEDICINE SHOW

Just released as a download and available at all the usual outlets is this great EP by The Medicine Show. I contributed piano, accordion, and Hammond organ. Go on - give it a try.
