Starsailor are very pleased to announce their forthcoming UK tour, dates below, to support the release of All The Plans, starting at the end of March in Glasgow.

This is the boys' message which will be mailed out shortly to the database:

So, as promised, below are our UK tour dates.

They go on general sale on Friday at 09:00am via this link: http://www.gigsandtours.com/?a=starsailor&site=starsailor for all except Glasgow which is http://www.gigsinscotland.com or by calling the 24 hr cc hotline 0871 2200 260. They're all priced at £16 except London which is £17.50. We're afraid that booking fees will apply.

Starting from tomorrow (Wednesday), we have an exclusive pre-order. We've just got to grips with it ourselves, so here goes:

If you order the deluxe version of All The Plans, you will immediately have access to the Boy In Waiting digital EP (for free!) You will also be able to purchase a ticket for the tour for a 48 hour window before they go on general sale.

The Boy In Waiting digital EP is as follows:

1. Boy In Waiting (album track)
2. Do You Believe In Love? (exclusive non album track)
3. Black Limousine (exclusive non album track)
4. Darling Be Home Soon (acoustic Loving Spoonful cover)

The deluxe album will have an extended booklet and will come with an additional cd of acoustic songs. These comprise a selection of the album tracks stripped down to the form that James originally composed them. There'll also be a brand new acoustic song unavailable elsewhere.

Even though the exclusive access to tickets ends after 48 hours the Boy In Waiting EP will be available to anyone ordering the deluxe album via http://www.starsailor.net right up until album release.

We hope that all makes sense and those of you that get hold of the digital EP enjoy it.

Speak soon,

James, Stel, Ben and Baz.


Deluxe CD and Digital EP Pre-sale:

The pre-sale for the Deluxe CD and ticket option starts at 09:00am on Wednesday 3rd December and tour tickets go on general sale from 09:00am on Friday 5th December.

Pre-sale link: http://www.recordstore.co.uk/starsailor/home.jsp?Search=CDVX3055

But to summarise - you have 3 pre-sale purchase options available:

1. Pre-order the Deluxe CD (with extended booklet and extra CD of acoustic songs) @ £14.99 and get immediate access to the free Boy in Waiting digital EP and an option to the tour ticket pre-sales for 48 hours before general release. You need to buy the CD then select 'back to shop' and then 'buy tickets' and you now have access to the tour list. Your digital EP is via a download link sent in a separate e-mail after purchase - you'll get one confirming the sale, then another with the link.
Tickets are £16 for all venues except London which is £17.50. So the price of a regional ticket and deluxe CD will be £30.99 + fees and £32.49 + fees for London.

2. Pre-order the Deluxe CD @ £14.99 and get immediate access to the free digital EP - without tour tickets. Your digital EP is via a download link sent in a separate e-mail after purchase - you'll get one confirming the sale, then another with the link.

3. Pre-order the standard CD from Amazon. But then you'd miss out on all those acoustic lovelies and the free digital EP - £9.99.

Couldn't have said it better myself Mandie. I know these gigs will be tinged with sadness too, but its also very exciting.

I'll be ordering the CD first thing!

Bristol, Bristol, Bristol. Thank you. Anyone want to crash on our swanky new sofa bed?

Wolverhampton is not very far from my folks, they can be on babysitting duty.

That would still give me the ability to get to 1 other gig leaving Toby overnight, so who wants to go where?!

NO NO NO..........I am saving to see Bruce again next year. AND I will want to continue my collection of buying promo's, vinyl, singles etc (have 11 versions of the last album, all different...!)

AHHHH damm not being rich!

I know most of these towns and these venues Laughing . Hard to decide. It'll depend on the transportation time inside UK, as usual.

Mandie got the sofabed booked first!

Nick then claimed the inflatable mattress on the floor of the dining room so unless you want to sleep in the bath or camp in the garden we are full Laughing

Sorry.
