Canadian and American tour? Looks like it is on (or not)
Permalink  
 


Looks like the long awaited and predicted Canadian and American tour is on. The American/Canadian agency has let the cat out of the bag. This is the link to the Canadian site. Note the words "THE MOST IMPORTANT TOUR OF THE DECADE" 


They have done a very good job, with video and audio links.


http://www.centuryartists.com/century_artists/tours/geldof_in_canada/index.html


The American one is similar


http://www.centuryartists.com/century_artists/artists/sir_bob_geldof/index.html


 


NOTE to Bob, Willo, Ian etc. It would not do any harm to let myself and others advertise the dates, once known on myspace ,(GAS).  I would post regular bulletins nearer the time. The majority of the 158 members are American or Canadian. They can network very efficiently and will give the tour plenty of pre publicity. If even 100 of them post it on to 20 or 30 of their friends and they do the same and start a chain, then we could get to thousands of people. Thats how myspace works. Many are in the music business or journalists and all are Geldof fans. Also Jules, Reka, Debs and Pezi, among others have myspace pages with different sets of friends. I would also like to post a personal message from Bob to his American and Canadian fans if possible. (though not holding my breath) He can contact any of us through his daughter.


I sense a new momentum , a new phase, if you like in Bob's solo career. Arr Gee was right, in one way, the cancelled Milan concert was the best thing to have happened. The MTV video is brilliant and is being played all over the world. I have had  very positive feedback on it. I think this is a great opportunity for personal issues to be put aside and for Bob/Management/ Fans to work together to make this tour a success. 


I will hold off posting anything ,out of consideration for Bob, until the tour is officially announced.

The mystery deepens then. This agency SEEMS certainly prepared for a tour of some kind. Something is in the air, methinks. I have mailed them to ask. Hopefully they will reply. Sorry Ian, you would not know what the hell I was talking about in my email. I naturally assumed that you did. OOPS!


IF it ever goes ahead, my offer still stands.


Poor MJ and DEBS, keep your finges crossed.

YOU HAD BETTER GO TO THEIR HOMEPAGE


http://www.centuryartists.com/century_artists/home.html


ACCORDING TO THEIR MANAGING DIRECTOR, THEY HAVE BOOKED GELDOF FOR 40 CONCERTS IN THE FALL. 40? HE WILL DIE OF EXHAUSTION AT THAT RATE. EVEN IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT, WATCH THE VIDEO.

Ian, please investigate and let us know what is going on. I am dying to know. Surely a reputable agency would not do this as a publicity stunt? If they are not so reputable, nobody would use them. Are they just in negotiation and are jumping the gun?

Wimbledon Theatre apparently booked Bob, they even sold tickets - I bought some. But it turned out they hadn't at all! Maybe this is the same thing.

I know that its not happening in the near future thats for certain. thats from official sources .there was some talk about this earlier in the year but nothing was ever confirmed so perhaps that is  what this website relates  too


Its a good time to remind you all that the dates come to us here direct from willo as soon as  the contracts have been signed and i don t want to go over old ground but we did highlight that wimbledon was not confired on more than one occasion

Surely this is breach of contract or something, if this lot are claiming to have already booked Bob and are advertising it openly on the internet. Trading Standards, or equivelant?

ROFLMAO  - This is the funniest thread ever


The internet is full of this;Don't Believe What You Read.  Anyone could have done that.


If you want to see Geldof, go to Dubai, he's got the Paddy's night gig in the Irish pub in the middle of the fcuking desert for the forseeable future.  Otherwise, there may be the odd gig in Germany where he can still attract large audiences.


Unless Geldof wants to play clubs in North America, I doubt he will go there.

Well, they have done a really good job of their site. It looks and sounds good. Glad I have brightened up your Saturday Arr Gee. Makes a change from making you mad.

On a serious note though, if this lot start selling tickets for 40 non existent shows, then it WOULD be fraud. Even a couple of hundred for each one and they would make a fair bit of money. I am sure Bob would be furious if he knew they were using his name to fleece music fans. I sincerely hope this does not happen. I hope it is just someone having a laugh. If you look closely at their site, there is only a phone number and fax number, no address or even mention of a city. I will monitor them. They say updates will be available soon. One of the guys in GAS is a Canadian music journalist. If things go on, he may be interested in this.

Bob's never really done that well in the States though musically, since he went there opened his big mouth in the late 70s I'd be surprised if they sold that many tickets.

I know, but it is the principle that counts, isn't it? Even to con one fan out of money is not on, is it? The last Canadian tour did ok. And he is still quite high profile over there after Live 8. Lets hope it dies a death.

I was actually thinking about him doing that many gigs across the States and the advertising rather than the buying. Yes, it isn't good if anyone buys. I got my money back from Wimbledon though, it wasn't a con.

There are a few people from the States around here.

i think you will find that this is a sort os sales pitch website and there is nothing wrong with that its the sort of thing that is sent to promoters venues etc. nowwhere on that site are there any actual date announcements so i guess there's not problem.

OK, I will take your word for it, Ian. At the moment there is no problem. Unless they start putting dates up and selling tickets!

An American/Canadian tour would have been pretty cool, but I would be surprised if Bob were to come to tour. 


peace & take care
