Spring forward

Man, it feels like we’ve only just gotten back from our last tour (and considering that it’s only been a month, that’s pretty accurate), but it’s time to start announcing some more dates for this upcoming summer.

Anyway. On to business: WP’s first proper tour of Ireland, and our first date in Wales, as well as a spot on the annual Phrased & Confused tour, focused on lyric-writing and the collision between words and music. It’s a chance to hit some of the UK’s smaller centers, not to mention an interesting opportunity to premiere some new works. For the first time on a tour longer than 3 days in duration, our producer Arran Fisher will also be coming along, so we’re sure to have some interesting recordings to share with you all at some point in the summer.

But! Before we get ahead of ourselves, here’s the P&C dates:

09 May: South Hill Park – Bracknell, UK
10 May: Cross Kings – London, UK
11 May: Norwich Arts Centre – Norwich, UK
12 May: Arc – Stockton on Tees, UK
13 May: Assembly Rooms – Derby, UK
14 May: Exeter Phoenix – Exeter, UK

Secondly, WP will be appearing once again at this year’s Great Escape festival in Brighton (May 15-16). You’ll most likely find us down on the beach throughout the days (and nights) of the festival.

Then it’s off to Ireland (and Wales):

18 May: Roisin Dubh – Galway, IE
19 May: Auntie Annie’s – Belfast, N. IE
20 May: The Academy 2 – Dublin, IE
21 May: Cyprus Avenue – Cork, IE
23 May: Clwb Ifor Bach – Cardiff, WALES

As for the summer, there’s a few things coming up that we’re rather excited about, but for the time being here’s just a hint of what we’ll be up to (first up, for our Canadian friends):

17-21 June: NXNE – Toronto, ON
24-27 June: Sled Island – Calgary, AB
17-19 July: South Country Fair – Fort MacLeod, AB

(And then for our European ones):

25 July: Trowbridge Village Fest – Wiltshire, UK
15 August: Way Out West Fest – Göteborg, SE
16 August: Summer Sundae – Leicester, UK

And yes. There’s more to come. Join us, won’t you?
