Reminder: Neil Halstead Tour Diary

Hi. Just a reminder.. if’ve you’ve seen Neil play this year and you have some photos or videos, then why not send a copy to Beggars US – they’re making a Neil Tour Diary! See the following….

4AD / Beggars Group has just released Neil Halstead’s new album “Sleeping on Roads” which is a wonderful collection of folk ballads, and dusty road songs. Neil recently played 5 amazing North American shows and is returning in late March / April to jump in a van and do a full US tour. We are currently working on a web project to document Neil’s US tour wanderings throughout the Spring. A visual tour diary will be put together and eventually reside on the Beggars US website. We’re asking everyone to help contribute to the project by submitting any photos, artwork, video / film of Neil playing shows performing in-stores or just traveling through your city for both the recent dates and upcoming ones. Anyone contributing material will be credited on the site and have the satisfaction of being a part of a great archival project for an important emerging voice in contemporary songwriting.

Digital files can be sent to:

matt@beggars.com

Or send materials to:

Neil Halstead Tour Diary
580 Broadway, #1004
New York, NY 10012
