PAST TOURS

PELT – WINTER UK TOUR 2018 – 2019

This tour was organised by Right Tempo Agency & funded by the Arts Council of England. My latest album, PELT is a collection of my musical settings of poems & lyrics by the Pulitzer prize winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon. This UK tour will be the first time to really explore this music live & the band I’m taking on the road is amazing! I’ll have Gareth Lockrane – flutes, Phil Robson – guitar/electronics, Steve Hamilton – piano/keyboard/laptop, Kate Shortt – cello/vocals/deaf signing, Richard Jones – violin, Dave Whitford – upright/electric bass, Simon Lea – drums & of course me on vocals. We will also be joined by Paul Muldoon for one performance as well as by NYC poet Eva Salzman on 2 other gigs. For full venue details see http://righttempoagency.com/concerts/christine-tobin/
