Yes I'm aware of Bob's website but it conflicts with my information. He says there was a Birmingham concert announced for the 16th but also says he played the Lewisham Odeon that night and in Leeds on the 17th. I know a Birmingham show took place and I'm pretty sure it was on the 17th as it was reported in The Stage, New Musical Express and Melody Maker and also EMI's Record Mail. Bob's Ray Charles blog doesn't match all the local music paper reporting here and also doesn't mention a further date he did at the DeMontford Hall Leicester on the 20th May. I've swapped messages with Bob and he is adamant no Birmingham show took place so I don't know what Bob's source of information is that he's basing that statement on, but it totally conflicts with all the reporting going on in UK through all our music papers. There is no ticket stub for the Leeds show on Bob's blog and I wouldn't expect there will be one for the 17th as all the UK music papers were reporting Ray Charles to be in Birmingham that night.
it would just be great to find someone else who was at the Birmingham show and perhaps still retains a ticket stub or local handbill/flyer.
