New I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, Again Tour in the Works...

From the I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, Again Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/ISIRTAA/photos/a.239697386456047/654731701619278/?type=3&permPage=1&notif_id=1558353254466998&notif_t=notify_me_page

AGAIN, AGAIN!

By the gracious good(ie)ness of Messrs. Oddie and Garden, we are going back on the road again with a show that uses an amalgamation of the material we performed on our BBC Radio 4 Extra series over Christmas and New Year (and a few extras never performed live before).

At the moment, contracts are being signed and venues negotiated. But, I'm delighted to say that all the main cast and musicians are returning to the fold, as well as some special guests.

Keep your stuffing and your gibbons to hand!
