UK Spring Tour

Posted By from April 11, 2010
Hello folks!
I hope this finds you well and cheery. 
Jamie McClennan and I have now arrived home from our mammoth 10 week tour of New Zealand and Australia.  The NZ tour was our most successful yet with eight out of ten shows selling out.  We travelled throughout both the north and south islands and definitely struck it lucky with the weather.
From NZ we headed across to Australia where we played lots of great festivals at the weekends and a few select mid week shows which took us throughout Victoria, New South Wales and beautiful Tasmania. 
A HUGE thankyou to all who came out to see us as we travelled around down under, we hope to be back over your way in the next year or two.
Jamie and I will be back on the road next week with a run of dates in Scotland and England (dates are listed on my page)  The tour will be a continuation of promoting our duo release 'Adoon Winding Nith; which has received some great reviews in the last few months:

"an affectionate feel-good acoustic celebration"
MOJO

"captivating"
fRoots

"sounding fresh and newly minted, this could well be a late contender for traditional folk album of the year"
NetRhythms

and there will be some old favourites from my album 'Too long Away' along with some of Jamie's quirky tunes from his album 'In Transit'.  Drop us a line if you have any requests for an Emily Smith song you haven't heard live for a while and we'll see what we can do :-)

Cheerio for now
Emily x
