Welcome to the Andy White 2008 tour page.

The latest instalment of this year's garageband tour starts in Europe in May. Andy's Belfast concert is very special show since he will be playing all of his first album 'Rave On Andy White' in the first half, and all of his latest album 'Garageband' in the second. There will be special guests inpart one, and Andy's Basel Garageband – Marc Krebs on drums and Beat Pachlatko on bass – will be playing in part two of the evening.

According to Andy, he has never played all of the songs from 'Rave On', in fact from any of his albums, at one time.To recover, there's a band concert the following night, deep in the Irish countryside, followed by a series of solo gigs finishing up in Twickenham on May 18 and moving to Italy for four concerts May 22-25.

Big news is that Garageband has had US release confirmed through Wildflower Records on May 27. There will be a brand new US edition with a catfold digipack sleeve and different track order. and a North American tour coming up in July and August.

Finally, Andy will be appearing at the WOMAD UK Summer School July 28-August 1 in Bath. Playing and taking a songwriting course. You can have a look here - applications are open now.

I will be updating the information on this page regularly, so either keep an eye on it, or email me and I will let you know when the tour comes close to where you live.

Andy has been busy writing on his myspace blog – there's everything from Belfast to Bondi, King Lear and tips on hoovering spiders, plus diary notes from the Autumn 07 tour.

Concerts below are listed firstly by country and then by date. If this drives you mad then go to the myspace page where the concerts are in order.

Andy's older tour diaries are here and as I said he updates his blog page when he's on the road.

If you are looking for a live recording, try the world wide white for a series of fanclub-only live CDs.

We have a limited supply of garageband dark grey tour T shirts in XL and L. They have the garageband drawing on the front (you can see it on the news page). There are tiny pictures of the T shirts on the mailorder page.
