Andy Kershaw tours the UK
Posted on January 8th, 2012 in World Music by Songlines.
Following hard on the heels of the release of his new autobiography, No Off Switch, the livewire radio DJ is now bringing his tales to a town near you for a series of anecdotal evenings in the vein of that other irrepressible one-off, Howard Marks.
The Adventures of Andy Kershaw: An Evening with the Legendary Broadcaster and Foreign Correspondent runs from January 14 until March 21, and is sure to be an unmissable and revelatory delight for all those who have benefited from Kershaw’s expansive tastes in the world of music.
With 31 dates already confirmed and more possible dates to come, it is a rock’n’roll style marathon, of which Songlines – with its long association with Kershaw – is proud to be the media partner.
