GIRA LINDSAY COOPER SONGBOOK

3 March is Girls' Festival (Hina-Matsuri) in Japan, also Lindsay Cooper's birthday, so my original idea was to start 2019 tour on 3 March, and ending on 8 March, International Women's Day, in London. Unfortunately it is carnival time in Bonn and Munster this weekend and I was told that no one would be around, so these German dates had to be on 9th and 10th, and starting the tour on 7th in Canterbury.

'Lindsay Cooper Songbook Celebrates International Women's Day 2019'. Canterbury 7th March, London 8th, Bonn 9th and Munster 10th.

Final confirmed lineup:
- Yumi Hara / arrangements, piano, keyboards, lever harp, voice (The Artaud Beats, you me & us, Jump for Joy!, Frank Chickens, etc)
- Chlöe Herington / bassoon, soprano sax, melodica (Knifeworld, Chrome Hoof, VÄLVĒ)
- Atsuko Kamura / voice (Polka Dot Fire Brigade, Frank Chickens, Kamura Obscura, etc)
- Tim Hodgkinson / clarinet, alto sax, lap steel guitar (Henry Cow, Konk Pack, The Hyperion Ensemble, etc)
- Chris Cutler / drums (Henry Cow, News from Babel, Peter Bregvad Quintet, Himmel, The Hyperion Ensemble, etc)
- Mitsuru Nasuno / bass (Korekyojinn, Ground Zero, etc)
