Buffy Sainte-Marie Tour 2010

It's not long until Buffy starts her tour of Europe followed by a few dates in Canada. This is her first tour of the UK in I don't know how long - she's played odd gigs on the Continent now and then but her first gig in London in 17 years took place last summer at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and I, of course, was there.

I'm seeing Buffy twice on the upcoming tour, firstly at The Sage in Gateshead and then at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London. I grew up in a little village about 10 miles from The Sage, playing the few Buffy records in my bedroom that I could lay my hands on in the mid-70s. I've visited The Sage but never been to a concert there so I'm looking forward to it. It's a purpose built concert hall so I'm expecting great things from the acoustics.
