Good for you, John, in getting Ari so many dates for the tour in England, Scotland and the Isle of Man!  To those of you over there who have not seen Ari in person, it is definitely worth making a special effort  to see his performances (and I'm talking about coming over from the Netherlands or France).  Everything he does, he does so well, and in his specialty areas, especially Blind Blake and Lonnie Johnson, you would be very fortunate to ever hear someone play the music better, let alone as well!  He sings really well, too, though it doesn't seem to excite much comment, probably because his playing is so stunning.  Go see him!
All best,
Johnm
