The Caravan of Dreams have been working up a terrific live set that was extremely well received at the launch and our recent follow up gig at The Grove Inn.
Of course as The Caravan of Dreams, we will always be expanding the set, but this is what we have chosen to date which includes tracks from Tales of Dark and Light, some unrecorded material and some old favorites from my previous band. The new musicians are doing a superb job and its an absolute joy to play with them.
This is a really diverse set and I am playing five different instruments at these gigs, including Gregor Nowak guitarelle, African blackwood tenor ukulele, Moses custom stratocaster and/or Collings I35 electric, 5 string baritone ukulele. I am using my trusted Henriksen Bud and Blu amps that produce the best sound on planet earth.
This is much more challenging and sophisticated material than I have been used to, but its a terrific amount of fun. At the album launch as well as the core band we also had Jon Burr sitting in on harmonica, Chris Smith on keys and the terrific Laurent Zeller on violin. We’ll be doing some more gigs in Leeds on August 23/24th where we will have some surprise guests and new live material.
The Caravan of Dreams are also back in the studio later this year to record new songs as a full band as well as a stripped down project I am starting to work on with a wide range of musicians.
