A friend sent the following to me. This could be very very cool. A celebration of Joe Strummer...AND a date in my town!

Where in Scotland are the warm up shows?

This is going to be very cool.

Is anyone else going to try to catch the show in Buffalo? Cool club, known for doing up-and-coming bands, and a lot of cool, but not super commercial bands. Going to be fun!

I haven't a clue Doug. Hopefully we'll get more information at the end of the month if I don't hear sooner. Derek Forbes mentioned the Scottish dates vaguely on the Fourgoodmen forum about a month ago, but didn't go into detail. Unfortunately their forum is frozen at the moment, and their news hasn't been updated on the Fourgoodmen website. If I can get there, I'll be there though!!

Cheers Shirl. Looking forward to seeing you again down at The Gathering

Greetings...

I just received an e-mail from Ticketmaster saying that the March 10th show at Diesel in Pittsburgh has been cancelled and money refunded.

...how about the rest of the mini tour?

I am trying for the Buffalo show, tentative.

This year marks ten years since Dallas has seen the Alarm

..and it´s 19 years since Sweden has seen The Alarm!

THe Alrm has once again been scheduled as one of the headliners of the Union County Musicfest. The festival has moved to Oak Ridge Park in Clark, NJ this year. The festival will take place on Sept. 12 & 13. The Alrm will appear on Sept. 12.

Great news that the full band is coming over to NJ. Might we see a proper US tour?

Nice, good family environment and my kids will almost be three. They already sing "Sold Me Down the River" in the mini-van. It would be nice to see everyone again as I have not been out to shows since they were born. Been a long time coming but its good to be back...
