A strict 10pm curfew at the Cadogan Hall meant that Gilbert had to
trim a few songs from his set list but he still managed to perform 32
songs.
MERCHANDISE
The
tour moves from Bournemouth to London and once again it gives his fans an
opportunity to complete their collection of his back catalogue by
visiting the Merchandise Stand at each show. There are CDs,
tee-shirts, posters, programmes and music books available for purchase. The stand is
fronted by Gilbert's sister Marie, and her husband Richard and they both
spend their concert evenings helping fans find their required albums from
the large back catologue. You can see what's available in advance at
the shows by clicking HERE.
For those who can't make it to a live
show, the same merchandise is available from
www.bygumrecords.com
A new tee-shirt has been designed for the
Gilbertville tour and comes in five colours and features the cartoon
sketch of Gilbert from the Gilbertville album sleeve. Bygum Records have
also had Every Song Has It's Play reprinted and is now available.
The very popular tour programme from last year is now back in stock.
