After a wonderful Summer of touring, taking in the Highlands of Scotland and the valleys of South Wales, Dave's readying up for an Autumn series of dates on what is most definitely the "Neverending Tour."

We spoke to Dave recently:

"It's been an amazing season all 'round. There are many, many new 'eclectic' music nights springing up at venues all around the country which are beginning to promote a fresh approach to live music with talent of every description. It's very exciting to be out touring at a time like this with all of these new nights springing up--it really does at last feel like the front line of something new, fresh and exciting.

"In the face of difficult times, it's amazing to find venues and promoters taking risks out there, being creative and reaching out to people with quality entertainment."

davesharp.org recommends keeping an eye out at your local venues for these new nights. You're guaranteed to find not only great music (acoustic and electric) but also stand-up comedy, poetry, spoken word, and, above all, joy, happiness and love.

New dates are being added all the way through the holiday season and into the new year. Stay tuned and keep travelin'.

Happy New Year from all of us here at DaveSharp.org with very best wishes for a great year ahead in 2012.

We’d like to say a huge thanks to everyone who came out to support Dave’s shows throughout the past year up and down the UK….it was a very busy schedule with album recording between dates.

We’d like to take this opportunity to welcome all you new supporters who’ve been checking in with us here at the site… Dave is certainly looking forward to seeing you all out on the road in 2012.

The new year is shaping up to be very busy indeed with a relentless run of live dates kicking off this January which will take in the South East, South Wales, the North West and once again an extensive run of shows in Scotland.

For those of you planning to be in or around the Manchester area at the end of January we’d like to remind you of a special show at The Angel in Manchester city centre on Thurs 26th January. This show will be promoted by Manchester’s newest music/art collective “City-Folk.” Dave will perform a full solo acoustic set and will be joined on the bill by some of Manchester’s finest poets and musicians. There will be food laid on and there’s no cover….

“City-Folk” is a collective which sets out to promote music/art which prefers to operate outside the umbrella of the Corporate mainstream and is planning events at multiple venues around Manchester…Definitely something to watch for in 2012…..

Dave’s new album is finaly nearing completion and a tentative release schedule is likely to be announced sometime around March….

Once again we’d like to thank both new supporters and old for continuing to follow Dave’s journey and we hope to see you all out on the road in 2012…

Travel easy and be safe.
Happy New Year

Dave sets off today for a 10-day swing of gigs beginning in Devon and making his way back up to Chester.

Tonight he's looking forward to playing again at the Chill Bar in Ilfracombe.

Dave will then head to the Crown Hotel in Lynton for three days of "Dave Sharp's Lynton Chill."

On his way back North, Dave will be performing at the Hooga Barhouse in Chelsmford where he's very much looking forward to joining "Sloe Gin" onstage for the final set of the evening.

Dave's final stop on this swing will be The Letters Inn at Tattenhall.

Dave is very much up for all of these gigs. He hopes you'll join him and sends a big hello to all.

Travel easy.

With Dave's new album in its final weeks of completion, we're very proud to announce an exclusive electric band show at the recently re-opened legendary Eric's Club in Liverpool.

Eric's Club, at the forefront of the British Punk scene, has recently been re-launched and re-opened. As part of the re-launch festivities, Dave is honoured and proud to have been asked to perform a special show with a full electric band (see dates list for ticket prices and details). Coming at a time when Dave's new album is well on the way to being completed, he will be taking this wonderful opportunity to preview album material with a band featuring musicians who've worked on the album recordings.

This is a MUST-SEE SHOW! It is highly adviseable to pre-book tickets which are available on all of the usual ticket outlets (Ticketmaster, etc) and from the venue itself. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!

In early November Dave travels to Chelmsford to play a Hooga show which takes place at The Barhouse. Dave has been invited to play Hooga by Chelmsford's own "Sloe Gin" who will also be performing on the bill. "Sloe Gin" will open the show and then join Dave onstage later in the evening to perform a selection of Dave's songs. More on this later.

It has been a busy Summer for Dave working on the new album between repeated tours of Scotland, England and Wales. The Album Sneak-Peek Show at Eric's Club certainly looks to be an excellent way to round out the Summer.

Dave passes his thanks to everyone who was able to get out to all the shows this Summer, and we look forward to seeing you all at Eric's Club.

Travel Easy.

Dave is currently in South Wales playing Ledbury and Oakdale. Tonight's show at Oakdale Rugby Club should prove to be a special one. He'll be performing with his good friends 4th Street Traffic who are themselves currently on tour in the South Wales area. 4th Street Traffic will be playing an unplugged set ahead of Dave's performance and will later be joining Dave onstage.

4th Street singer Ali and guitarist Rhyl joined Dave onstage at the Rock and Fountain last week.

This will round off Dave's current South Wales leg before he returns to Ayrshire later in the month.

Stay tuned for more news.
