Huge, huge thanks to everyone who has supported the recent flurry of Shadowing Hank shows in Nottingham, North East Yorkshire and Suffolk. It has been a really enjoyable time on the road. Special thanks to Dave Robbo who, as he has said, supplied me with a PA system for the Nottingham gig. Thanks, Dave, and thank you for the glowing gig report! It was also amazing to be back at the Scarborough Shads gala after 16 years away!
A heads-up, folks: Early indications show that the gigs at
Thame Players Theatre and
Louth Riverhead Theatre are going to be very well attended indeed, so get your tickets now! I have a feeling these two venues are going to be regular favourites in my diary in the coming years!
Now I've realised it's time to update this thread again. The following 2022 dates have gone on sale meaning they can now be announced (and so they have of course been added to the OP):

https://bit.ly/3o5dL21I'm glad to once again have another new Warner hotel to notch onto my gigging bedpost. The Sixties Festivals are fun! Henhayes is one of my favourite local venues and the crowd is always up for a great night so I will be pleased to return there for the first time in three long years. Lastly, I had an absolute blast in Haverhill with the Union Gap lads (in fact they're fast becoming firm friends and my favourite guys to work with on the circuit), and I can't wait to be with them again; this time I'll be sharing my part of the show with Jimmy Jemain which will be great. It's always fun working with Jimmy, and Thetford will be our first time working specifically as a 'Cliff and Hank' duo, so I'm excited to see what we can make of our part of the show. Something tells me it's gonna be special.
I hope to announce two more shows very soon (just waiting for confirmation that tickets are on sale), so everyone in the Derby and South Staffordshire areas should keep an eye on this thread.
For now I have Brixham Theatre to look forward to in less than two weeks' time!
See you soon, and get buying those tickets!
