Bonamassa lists spring UK dates

Joe Bonamassa has confirmed three UK shows for March next year.

One is a rescheduled date from the Bournemouth show he was forced to postpone last month as a result of ill health, while two are brand-new appointments.

Tickets will be available via a fan presale ay 9am on November 10 (Tuesday) with general sales going ahead at the same time on November 13 (Friday).

Bonamassa, who launches his latest North American tour this week, continues to support 2014 album Different Shades Of Blue – his first-ever record consisting entirely of original material.

He said last year: “I’ve really had to push myself to make everything I do better than the last project. I know the fans expect it. And I feel like I owe them an original record after all these years.”

Tickets for the original Bournemouth appearance remain valid, and some seats are still available for the fresh date.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
