UK Plans

June 10th, 2008

(UPDATE: someone pointed out to me that Dublin is not actually in the UK, and that really I should be talking about my trip to the UK and Ireland. I assure you this is geographical stupidity and not a political statement, proof of which is my recent email blast saying that Pittsburgh was in NY. I don’t like to make political statements, as you know.)

I’ve mentioned before the possibility of me returning to the UK for another London show, this time with a longer stay that lets me hit a couple other cities. Well, it’s becoming official. The London show is booked and tickets are now on sale – October 30 at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Yes, I know it’s very big. And I think I’m bringing Paul and Storm with me.

The rest of the trip is less certain right now, but it may look something like this (I don’t know which dates, if any, will also include Paul and Storm):

Oct 24: Dublin
Oct 25: Glasgow
Oct 29: Manchester
Oct 30: London – Shepherd’s Bush Empire
Oct 31: Nottingham – Game City
Nov 1: Oxford

That list is all very tentative, so don’t go making travel plans quite yet. I’ll give you more details when I know them…

    @Kazzi thanks for the Daily Show link. I’ve been waiting for that all day. Quality cameo by JoCo. And I’m loving the Holistay idea.

    Thanks for the link, you all will recall the other reference to Coulton on the Daily Show – http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=115091&title=essay-contest

    At last!
    I’ve been waiting for a Dublin show for ages!
    See ye there!

  4. Martin K says:

    If Cork is like a nice version of Dublin, Australia is like a nice version of the UK. Over heeeeeeeere.

  5. Beth says:

    Yay! I’m *so* at the Glasgow gig.

  6. Hakan says:

    Yay! Will be at Oxford or London one. Or shall I do both of them, I bet they’ll be much fun and you can’t get enough of JoCo :)

  7. Kerrin says:

    As wikipedia says: ‘The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’, soyou were right originally Jonathan

  8. Hakan says:

    Dublin is in the south, Belfast is in the North. South bit of the Ireland left UK long ago.

  9. Kerrin says:

    Yeah, I realized my stupidity after posting, and went to delete my post before realizing my log on for wordpress doesn’t work anymore. Either I have annoyed Jonathan and he has revoked my user account, or he has upgraded wordpress again.

  10. Tip for getting on with the Irish: Call them all British. They like it really.

    Also, . Ha ha ha!

  11. Reki says:

    w00t, just ordered tickets for myself and 5 friends, were in row F, seats 19 – 24. Should be a good night.

  12. Paul says:

    Yeah -welcome back JC!
    Seats C20 and C21 – I’ll be bringing my daughter – hopefully in the skull crusher mountain T-shirt that JC threw at me at Dingwalls :-)

    Also looking forward to Paul and Storm.

  13. Bob says:

    Squee! Glasgow Gig!! Any thoughts on where yet?

  14. Chris N says:

    May see you in Glasgow, may see you in London – who knows!? Last London gig was awesome though, so am really looking forward to this one.

  15. Iain says:

    The day before my birthday in Glasgow, what could be better. Ya dancer!!!
    See you all there.

  16. Uchronic says:

    Good news, unfortunately, I can’t come from Paris in the middle of a week. :(

  17. Alex says:

    Awesome,
    I can’t get to London, so I’ll be going to the Oxford one as it’s on the weekend. Any idea when it’ll all be confirmed?

  18. JRO says:

    Excellent – ordered two – last London one was great!

  19. Surferbill says:

    Reserved seats (2):
    - section: STALLS row: H seat: 17
    - section: STALLS row: H seat: 18

    :-D

  20. Alex Munro says:

    I’ll be at Glasgow, can’t wait :D

  21. another Jonathan says:

    Dublin! That is so very awesome indeed! I am now, officially, a happy bunny on a monday morning!!!

  22. Doug says:

    Dublin is most excellent! I will have to convert some of my friends to JCism and we’ll have a blast.

  23. Aaron Abernethy says:

    Oh dear. My initial excitement has just dissipated when I realised that the Dublin show is the day after my Wedding! I just can’t see me convincing my new bride that we really need to postpone our honeymoon a day…

  24. Brick says:

    Don’t know if I’ll still be working in Manchester in Oct, but I’m sure I’ll find somewhere to crash. London’s booked, though way to late to get decent seats… :(

  25. sam says:

    But not coming to Wales or very far South? The North seems rather over-represented here…

  26. ~G~ says:

    Oh yes!

    Oh you have to try and get back on The Geoff Show – on Virgin Radio.
    That was a great show you played last time, when you went on there!

    That would be great to hear you on the show again, the banter was fantastic – and it would be good to hear you play some more songs :o )

    Anyway – hope the rest of the tour goes well. Hoping to get tickets to one of the shows (London hopefully).

    Oh yeah… WooHoo!

  27. doubleshiny says:

    Manchester, rah rah rah!

  28. Pyromanic says:

    Where the hell is edinburgh? screw glasgow and come and visit us obviously superior people here in edinburgh :P ;) i kid, i kid…

    All the same i think perhapes next time you should come to edinburgh and perhapes alternate each trip. PLEASE!!!!!

  29. Tim French says:

    Just got London tickets for me and my Fiancee (or wife as she will be by then). Level 1: B20 & B21

    I found out about the last UK gig the day after it happened. So obviously hugely happy that he’s coming back. Can’t wait.

  30. Alex Munro says:

    An Edinburgh trip WOULD be obviously superior. I wouldn’t have to leave town or get stabbed to see Mr. Coulton in action :P

  31. Chris Woods says:

    please, please, please confirm Dublin… failing that, I’m off to book some cheap flights to London…

  32. Alex Rea says:

    A shame about Cambridge. Not sure I’ll be able to go elsewhere given that it’s during term – I’ll catch you yet!

  33. JC says:

    Dublin!

  34. LSTAR says:

    See you in Glasgow!

    Or else…

    …I may have to travel further.
