Bonjour!

As we all trudge soggily towards the summer months, the sunshine seems about as likely as the economic recovery. (Kidding! The sunshine is waaaaaay more likely!) So why not chase the blues away with one of two very special shows I’m doing with comedian, BBC 6Music presenter and all-around Good Egg, Josie Long.

Tickets for Bridport Arts Centre on May 1st celebrating International Workers’ day are selling like the proverbial hot cakes with socialist icing, so make sure that you pick up one of the last few by calling the box office on 01308 424204.

Happily we will also be rocking up in my hometown of Leicester, where Josie and I performed to a crowd of over 100 in the rain under an underpass in October as part of the Alternative Reality Tour, but this time around we’re swapping the alley for beautiful and historic venue, The Guildhall.

For Leicester Guildhall Tickets on May 25th call the box office on 0116 253 2569, Monday - Saturday 9am - 4pm, or 1pm - 4pm on Sundays. Be sure to get in early though as there are only 100 tickets for this very intimate show.

If anyone is having any difficulty getting tickets for either of these shows then please let me know by emailing grace@gracepetrie.com.

Peace out! GP x

Hey y’all,

Just a quick one to let you know that I’m on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow talking about politics and music (do I ever shut up about that, right?!) with John Harris. The show is called Who’s Angry Now (me, apparently) and will feature contributions from Billy Bragg, Sam Duckworth and Itch from the King Blues. It will be broadcast at 11:30am so do listen in if you can catch it. 

See this link for more information… here.

For all of you asking about gigs in Sheffield, please come to The Greystones on July 7th to see me co-headlining the Young Folk evening with Joe Banfi. Information about this over at the gigs page, and also click here to buy tickets. 

In other news… thank you all for your incredible response to my email asking where I should come and play. I heard you all and am busy making plans to make all of these shows happen.

And I’ve been busy over Easter filming videos for Rise and Orbit ….stay tuned to find out when they’ll be hitting Youtube.

Cheers!

Hello!!!

First of all, many thanks to you all for buying Mark My Words, I have been once again overwhelmed by your support and as always I am very grateful for it.

For all your festival-goers out there, I have another announcement to make about this summer, and I have to say I’m pretty damn excited about it so here goes…

I am thrilled to announce I will be appearing at  Latitude Festival 2012!

Massive thanks to lovely Robin Ince for getting me the gig. I will be playing at his late-night show on the saturday night, so please do stop in and see me if you’re going!!!

In other terribly exciting news, Caitlin and I will be travelling up to Liverpool in April (petrol allowing, eh Dave?) to shoot a video for one of the songs from Mark My Words. I’m keeping tight-lipped for the moment about which song it is, but we are lucky enough to be working with award-winning film director Chris Shepherd on it, so you can bet it’s going to be pretty special!

All in all it’s shaping up to be a very exciting summer!

Cheers
