John Mayall has announced that he’ll tour the UK this autumn in support of his latest album Talk About That.
The blues pioneer released his 65th album in January and has now scheduled 36 dates across the country, with the first show taking place at The Hawth in Crawley on October 17. He’ll wrap up the run at the Leas Cliff Pavilion in Folkestone on November 26.
Support will be provided by The Buddy Whittington Band.
Despite enjoying a career that has spanned six decades, in a recent interview with the Blues and Classic Rock, Mayall revealed there are still things he’d like to achieve.
He said: “It would be nice to get a hit record, or to get in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, or to get a gold record – any of those things.
“It would be nice to have something that really sold very well, because the more people you can draw into listening to the blues the better it is for the whole movement.”
