I am organizing a set of gigs in the U.K. and elsewhere during December 2008 and January 2009.
In addition, I am looking for venues in Ireland to host performances by Paul Dunmall, Mark Sanders, Jamie Smith and myself (Han-earl Park) in January/February of 2009. See the performance proposal (PDF) for more information.
I welcome performance organizations, promoters and/or venues to get in touch.
