Guest Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Just received an email to say that the Manchester concert has been cancelled due to Lamont's Health. Re-arranged for February 2019.
Steve S 60 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 He won't be appearing at the Blackpool Winter Gardens either.
Guest Spain pete Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 As bobby womack said it gets real hard when you get down to the contracts and things . 👎🎭
Chalky Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Not received anything yet nor is there anything on line?
Mike Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 25 minutes ago, chalky said: Not received anything yet nor is there anything on line? ticketline has Sadly, due to medical advice received by Lamont Dozier, who was scheduled to appear in the UK for a tour promoted by AGMP, the forthcoming dates in June 2018 have been forced to be rescheduled for February 2019. 1
Stevegods Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Union Chapel date in London rescheduled to 19th Feb . Just hope he can regain his health !
Daved Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 I don't expect it will happen now. Rescheduled gigs seldom take place. It's purpose was to promote a new album and the momentum will be lost in Feb. Unless they bring out a box set of his solo stuff and he promotes that 😀. Unlikely. At least the promotor keeps the money for another 10 months 😬
Stevesilktulip Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I had tickets to see Sonny Rollins a few years back; more than likely the greatest living jazz artist, but he cancelled and will never come over now. I don't think he even plays in America any more. I recall my disbelief, sat in Mickey Powney's café in Durham, and my wife nonchalantly telling me Lamont Dozier was doing the Sage, and me immediately commandeering her phone to spend money we didn't have. At the time the Sage didn't even know about it. Shameless plug: I'll still be paying tribute to the great man at my Soul Night in Durham on 21st.

I remember Bobby Womack rescheduling a few years back and by the time he finally appeared in London he had to be helped on and off the stage. He was still brilliant though!!!
Stevesilktulip Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I thought Womack was terrible at Glastonbury. You want to remember them in better times, which for me was twice in the early/mid eighties, though I'd have loved to seem him in the seventies. I always said I'd have been happy for Lamont to just turn up and take the applause (and no doubt tears).
Stevegods Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I saw Bobby Womack in 2012 with Damon Albarn at the Forum Kentish Town and it was a tale of two halves. Firsr set with the Blur frontman was a little downbeat and foucused on his last album “ The bravest man in the universe “ not great to say the least . But the second set was vintage , vintage music , vintage singing and vintage backing with full band . Truely wonderful . Lets see what happens on Feb . Edited April 9, 2018 by stevegods 1
Chalky Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I r3ceived my email today 🙄 I will be sending for the refund.

Less than average with a very self indulgent damon albarn Who even stopped and started bobby a couple of times on the intro to one of tne songs. still managed to do a decent spot with his classics for the second half of the set. i was only watching on the TV. bobby womack must have been sensational live in his prime.
Mickey Finn Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I was all set to see Bobby at the Hammersmith Odeon in the summer of 1990 - had the ticket - and it was called off due to ill health. A few months later he did a couple of gigs in London, the first at the Town and Country Club Kentish Town, which for me ranks as one of the best I've ever seen anywhere. A top band and Bobby bouncing around on stage like Zebedee for the opener "I'm back". Altrinna Grayson came on to do a duet with him of "No matter how high I get". Wonderful night - not quite matched by the gig at the Lewisham Theatre some weeks later, but still a good un.
Soulstrutter Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Just had confirmation that his rescheduled tour for 2019 has also been cancelled due to ill health! It was probably an 'ambitious' tour given he's now 77!
Keamus Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Real shame. Was looking forward to the Union Chapel gig.
