Concerts: Iona Seeks Gigging Ops In USA

Posted on Wednesday, December 23 @ 06:00:00 UTC by nightowl

"Hello from the Iona office over here in the freezing (but beautifully frosty) UK!" writes Debbie Bainbridge on behalf of Iona. "We are very excited that the band will be playing in the USA next June for the first time since 2002. Yes it has been far too long! The band will be in the USA for two weeks. So far we are booked to play at NEARFest, Bethlehem, PA on Saturday 19th June and at Cornerstone Festival, Bushnell, Illinois on Wednesday 30th June.

"These will be the first and last gigs on the tour and we are currently trying to fill in between with as many other gigs as we can manage, plus radio interviews and any TV appearances we can get. There are several possibilities in the pipeline already but there are some gaps we'd like to fill and here's where we'd like to enlist your help...



"If you've always longed to have Iona play in your area and know of a suitable venue that you have any contact with (could be your church, a local club venue etc - we don't mind!), or if you are involved in the media and would like to interview the band or have them play a live session, or would just love to help out publicize the band's tour we'd love to hear from you. Although there is a limit to how far we can cover in 2 weeks it would be good to build up a list of possible venues for future trips to the USA.

"If you think you can help out, please email our USA booking agent Kathy Bunker at music4world (at) netzero.com"
