UK/Ireland Plans
September 22nd, 2009
But first, thanks to Denver and St. Louis. I took no photos, I left no footprints, but I had a great bunch of shows last weekend. Many thanks to everyone who came out. It was my first non-PAX road trip since June, so I was expecting to be pretty rusty, but I actually felt pretty competent much of the time. Go figure.
A lot of people have been asking and I can now confirm that I’ll be back in the UK for a while in November (and Paul and Storm will be with me). We’re still working on the final details, but it’s coming together nicely. We’ll be there about a week and a half and we expect to hit Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, London, and Bristol. In fact, Manchester and London are already on sale if you’d like to get a head start. I’ll post more details as soon as I know them myself.
Yes, this does mean no Birmingham and no Nottingham this time around, just can’t get everywhere we’d like to get in this one trip. I know this is going to make it hard or impossible for some people to see a show, and I’m sorry about that, but WE’RE ONLY ONE MAN! If anyone knows how to build a robot that looks and acts and sings just like me, please get in touch. Or if anyone has the technology to smush the cities closer together, that would help as well.
Northampton, New Haven and Boston are coming up this weekend. I hope you are ready.
Booked my tickets for London. The last 2 concerts in London were amazing. If you want a hand with merch, I’d be more than happy. (Hopefully, I should be able to get in to London a bit early.)
Hey JoCo, what else do you sell at your concerts? How much are they?
Booked my tickets for Manchester. I nearly fell through the floor when I was emailed by eventful to say JoCo was coming my way. I’m so excited!
What’s the general etiquette regards cameras / camcorders at JoCo’s gigs? I’m aware that Manchester Academy ‘strictly says no’, but what does Mr. Coulton say? I’d love to capture him in HD.
@Angie: By the looks of things, Union Chapel’s a standing venue
@Ben Forbes: Jonathan doesn’t play in standing venues…..rest assured it will be seated.
Bah. I only return from honeymoon the day after the Manchester Gig…
Am annoyed now.
Union Chapel’s seated, but recommend you bring a cushion if comfort’s a priority – hard wooden benches as it’s an actual, bona fide church!
Fantastic venue though, I saw Amanda Palmer there weekend before last and it was amazing – really looking forward to the gig!
Union Chapel, we’re coming!
From Italy with love, JoCo! <3
So, does anyone know how long these gigs usually last? The last train back from Bristol is 10:05PM on sunday 15th november, and the gig doesn’t start 8 – anyone know if its likely to go on for 2 hours?
Concerned about Dublin. I’m 17 and I intend to go with an adult. The side-note says ID required, so does that mean no under-18s? Please clarify, very interested in seeing you Live!
Woop I managed to buy the first ticket for the Manchester date! Cannot wait to see the great JoCo live!
@James:
The first? You’re about two days out!
@Raz: The shows normally run a minimum 2 1/2 hours. Then, the signing and schmoozing…..
@Raz: yep, unless the venue makes us stop earlier, we tend to do about 2.5 or 3 hours including Paul and Storm’s set, my set, and a break in between.
@Dorian: your best bet is to check with the venue about this kind of thing – they’re not my rules, so I can’t say for sure.
Just bought my tickets for London – Union Chapel looks interesting, but it’s going to be hard to beat Shepherds Bush!
Absolutely can. not. wait. for the Manchester show. Please save a few T-shirts for us
Is photography allowed (or a photo pass :p)? I’ve started photography as a hobby and would LOVE to photograph the London gig. Obvisously I’m not going to shooting through the whole thing, but the first few songs would be good.
In addition to my previous comment, any chance of fitting a Cambridge gig in?
Is the London gig is going to be strict on the age thing?
Because i’m 15 and i’ve only just realised it says 16+, and i’ve already ordered the tickets so…yeah…
I have to say, the last one (in Dublin, the singiest crowd ever) was one of the best gigs I have ever been to.
Thanks for your replies (I know i’m delayed).
I booked a ticket for London! (and couldn’t find anyone to go with, so if you see a loner geek, that’d be me
). At least london my train back is like 11:30pm 
Crazy excited now!
