I am putting the draft list of locations/venues for #Tour 26 together already and it would be nice if you joined the list - some people are on there already.
I am not planning to Tour as much in 2026 as the mammouth Tour of 2025 so slots may be more limited. If you would like to be considered as a host for a private/in-house gig, an open gig, a semi-private gig (bit of a mix of the other two), or a conference presentation, get in touch now.
Head over to this link [here] to express your interest and join me in spreading the word about play, playing and Playwork in 2026.
Ta!
