Well, not being from London, I don't know exactly what goes on up there. From what
I've seen in the past, the London crowds are more sophisticated than most so you
might not get to see any mad cowgirls <g> Here is a link that gives a good gig
guide, written by Bob Patterson who is a DJ on Country Music Radio for Europe:

For the madder side of British country, check out this gig/club review:

I thought this bit was quite, er, apt:
<On to the shoot out as usual run by RONDO and his wife FIGHTING SPIRIT, sixteen
shooters and no time lost in getting underway as there was an auction to follow o
with during the same amount of time usually taken for gunfighters. The eventual
winner of the shoot-out was RED, nice to see a different name in print by way of a
change.>
Unfortunately, my own band isn't gigging between the 19th and 28th, otherwise I'd
suggest us <g>. For anyone else interested, the Okeh Wranglers will be playing at
the Railway Inn, Winchester on March 3rd. No door fee.
Apologies for the SSP,
Louise
