Look out, folks
they're baaack!
When a cappella singers Artisan (from West Yorkshire, England)
hung up their tonsils in November 2005, they weren't adamant
about saying: Never again, but they knew they were going
to wait for the right time to reunite. Finally Artisan's own
itchiness to sing some harmonies again got the better of them.
This short reunion tour sees them doing dates in the UK in July
and September 2010 (with festivals and a few select concerts in
Canada in August sandwiched in the middle.) Birthed in 1985 as a
fun thing to do for husband & wife Brian & Jacey Bedford
and their friend Hilary Spencer, Artisan kept getting invited to
play more and more gigs until finally they kicked their day jobs
into touch and went full time in 1989. After that they toured
relentlessly throughout the UK, Canada, the USA, Europe and even
Australia via Hong Kong until 2005.
Now Artisan is looking forward to being back on the road and meeting up with friends old and new. There will be old favourites and some new original Brian Bedford songs plus a new CD is in the works. So expect to be thoroughly entertained - Old songs. New songs. Same voices. Same wonderful sense of humour.
When asked about planning the 5-year Reunion Tour, Artisan's Jacey Bedford said: "It will be five years since Artisan's retirement concert in 2005. So how's it going? We're busy rehearsing and loving it, working on new songs as well as old ones. We're recording for a new CD to be called 'Random Play'. We've been overwhelmed by the fantastic response so far."
****************
Also on the bill
are ex-Tanglefoot veterans Al
Parrish
& Steve Ritchie. Ever since Tanglefoot played its farewell
concert last December, the individuals have been busily working
on solo and duo projects. The connection between Artisan and
Tanglefoot goes back many years and has developed into a wondeful
friendship, so the inclusion of Al & Steve as the special
guests for this concert is another special reunion.
