Richie Havens, the legendary American roots singer-songwriter, returns to the UK next month for his most extensive tour in years. Havens famously opened the Woodstock Festival in โ69 - playing an extended a two and a half hour set because of technical difficulties on the day that prevented other acts from performing. He played โevery song I ever knew!โ as well closing his set with the improvised song โFreedom", which became the festivalโs anthem. In recent years has collaborated with dance act Groove Armada, appearing with them at the Glastonbury Festival and on Jools Hollandโs โLaterโ programme. You can be awe-struck by a songwriting genius at the following venues early next month: London, The Jazz Cafรฉ (January 8/9/10) Manchester, The Lowry (12) Gateshead, The Sage (13) Birkenhead, Pacific Road Arts Centre (17) Glasgow, ABC (18) Sheffield, Memorial Hall (20) Coventry, Taylor Johns House (21) Milton Keynes, The Stables (23)
