Dylan Unlikely To Play Tootstock

Having organised the Tootstock festival for June 30, 2012, so that it didn't coincide with the Olympics, other gigs and everybody's holidays, I now find that Bob Dylan has announced his one and only UK date for the year is, yes, you guessed...

This is frustrating since I always go to see Dylan whenever possible. If you're alive at the same time as the greatest of all singer/songwriters, you have to make the most of it.

Mind you, Dylan has been known to add on extra dates around his "one-off" gigs. When he played the Feis last summer, it was supposed to be his only 2011 UK appearance, but he managed to sneak back into the country twice in the autumn for two more legs of his Never Ending Tour.

The only certainties are that I won't be going to see Dylan on June 30, and Dylan won't be playing Tootstock. But I'm willing to bet he'll announce more UK dates this summer...
