It’s always good to kick off the year making plans and so that’s exactly what we’re going to help Andrew’s management do…
Plans are afoot for a new UK tour before too long, but we’ve noticed that every time there’s a tour there are calls to add extra towns or cities.
So this article is your opportunity to add comments with where you think the next UK tour should head – over to you….

Hi What about the centre of YORKSHIRE Leeds*/Sheffield -some great venues “UP North”
Yes Yorkshire please!
Jazz cafe, islington – always the best!
Cambridge ???
Cambridge. Corn Exchange. Would sounds great!
or a return to the met lounge in peterborough i could handle too max, quite the most brilliant live artist i have seen, up close, informal, perfection! I walked on air for a week!
Try a few smaller places, where we don’t often get such illustrious company – would be thrilled skinny to see you in Selby – Town Hall is quite well respected apparently http://www.selbytownhall.co.uk/

AMSTERDAM!!! Please… Otherwise the flight costs make it so expensive to come and enjoy your show 😉
Luton – have you even been to this part of the world yet?
Has to be Glasgow!!!!!!!! O2 ABC. Andrew you know it makes sense-the best audience in the world.
Anywhere in The North west would be a good choice.
Why dont you try and get an idea of where most of the fans live and ask for postcode info.
With the beeb moving to Media city a manchester / salford gig offers great chance of exposure.
Bournemouth 02 or mr kyps in parkstone,poole would be cool. souyh coast. seen you at wedgewood rooms and loved that venue as not too massive and you even sang without mic for one slower song. never been to the brook before but also sounds good. Very exciting, will keep eye out for tour dates! ! Cheers
The fruit market in Glasgow is an awesome
venue , hope to see you there 🙂

Please come to Swindon. If you don;t we will trvel to Bristol as we usually do.
Munich !!!!!!!!!!
Mannheim- Germany!!!!
Manchester please!
Hi Andrew
We would love to see you play in Newcastle, you know that!! The sage is a great venue as you well know, but your more suited to a standing venue so we can rock the place out, so we would prefer to see you play somewhere more suited to your audience.
The fact is we are really looking forward to your gig in the north east!!
Wife and I see you every year. Brilliant.
What about playing at The Place Telford or The Robin 2 in Bilston.
See you soon.
How about a small venue in Manchester or Liverpool?
If you get enough interest possibly somewhere in Cumbria? Theres some great gig locations around Kendal and there would be plenty of Roachford fans around!
Come to the Subscription Rooms Stroud Gloucestershire. We saw you at a very small gig at Weston Super mare 25 yrs ago !!! it was brill x
SHREWSBURY ……………………………
Your next UK tour should be in AUSTRALIA. Not actually in the Uk in the strictest sense but we have the same Queen. Sydney, Australia. Call it a working holiday if you like.
He should come to Philadelphia, PA USA!!!!
How about back to Australia, it’s been a while!
I travelled to see you at 10ft tall in Cardiff last year and Uxbridge the year before, would love to see you play my home town, Dundee, failing that anywhere in the UK!!
I voted for Glasgow because that is where Roachford began for me.I say go back to the places that from the beginning welcomed you and treated you good.Second, get to places that never had a chance to see you and of course pick spots geographicaly located to make you available to the most fans.Good luck on tour.
Australia…Sydney…the most beautiful city on the planet. PLEASE come and visit and pop around to our house for afternoon tea! Alix’s eccles cakes are to die for!!!!
By the look of it, you have many fans down under just on this list!
OK dinner too, if you can make it!!!!
Get your ass back to MK The Stables – great show last year!!!!!!!
Copenhagen DK — at Montmatre
🙂
Come back to Portsmouth please
What about coming to Birmingham?….
Kent? Kent’s a very nice place if you ignore the Chavs 🙂
Keke
Swindon, Salisbury city hall, bath forum, marlborough
PLEASE!!!!!
Wolverhampton Civic or O2 Academy
The Kazimier in Liverpool would be a great choice as well.
My wish is a gig in Spain (North West, I prefer, but Madrid is not bad) or Portugal.
Regards from Lugo, Spain
Seen you at 10feet tall Cardiff, great gig!!! Looking forward to seeing you later in the year, Cheers
Hiya Andy
We would love you to come to Bury Met
Its fantastic venue for all live music
Google it and look at the artists that appear there
We are the couple who come to see you at the Academy in Manchester whenever you are there We missed our train last time as you did so many encores. It was the best show I have ever been to I was at the front dancing all blooming night with two old friends of yours
I got email from your auntie who we met that time at Cavern in Liverpool whose daughter lives in Battersea she was saying you were there at Christmas giving advice on a keyboard for the kids sounded good
Cant wait to see you on next visit up here Soon we hope
Bev and Phil Travers

Yorkshire – Leeds, York, Great Northern Wine Ripon….

Has to be cardiff. Six years since you played the glee club!

Noticed there were some other keen fans from Sydney, Australia. Are you starting to feel the pressure? Come on over!
hey there !

Always great to see you in London – how about heading out along the Uxbridge Road to Ealing? Take a look at our venue on our website or find us on facebook under ‘Ealing Venue Hire’…
We’d love to have you here – either in Ealing itself or over at Greenford Assembly Halls
If you can’t do Tan Hill, how about my back garden? Plenty of space … wine and beer on tap … appreciative audience … Ok, ok, guess that’s not a viable proposition so how about The Buck Inn, Reeth – another cosy, North Yorkshire inn with a great track record in live music. Go on Andrew, you know you want to!!! xxx
Ipswich, failing that Colchester! The Corn Exchange is crying out for some quality!
Please, in London any Saturday!
Please come and play Cuddly Toy at my wedding!
Exeter or Plymouth – don’t deny yourself!
I’m sorry to have missed this site before now. I hope you get out there London, Warford, Croydon, I’ll be there

Why not, I say….why not take-up ALL the above suggestions & satisfy everyone?!?!
Ahh…… but there is the LITTLE matter of the Mike & The Mechanics next tour, I presume……?
You did great gigs at Manchester Acad & Apollo with the Mechanics, yes, I know, wish I had seen you sooner, never mind!
But Southampton Brook (my Hometown) would be different……..
You have to come back to Glasgow, Andrew, I have waited since I heard your first album in 1988 to see you play live. I finally got my wish at the ABC in Glasgow on the 2nd June and I was totally blown away!!! You were sensational, in great form and great rappor with the crowd, sound great live and the band were great! I will be there to see you again anytime you play in Glasgow!
Come on Andrew, back to the Brook Southampton!!!!
Falmouth
Falmouth
Falmouth
Tonight was fantastic, come back soon Mr Roachford
Cambridge was the closest one on the list but Peterborought Cresset, Met lounge or the voodoo lounge in Stamford would be even better.
Saw you at Isle of wight and the gig was incredible x
Hope Roachford can come to Devon or Cornwall and maybe Exeter! 🙂
Come to Plymouth. It’s afbout time you played here.
