Caught By The River Nature Book Reader

Caught By The River recently launched their Nature Book reader. An excellent resource ..featuring one of my favourite books Waterlog by Roger Deakin.

Jimi Goodwin picks one of his favourites, to read Jimi’s review of The Runways and others head over to the reader.

If I had to pick one.. I was lucky enough to grow up on a farm by the River Tweed. So would higly recommend if you are into fishing, the rather old school but fascinating Days and nights of salmon fishing in the River Tweed which was recently re-released and is available to read at google books.

News Of The World

Its old news really, but kinda cool all the same. Doves had a nice big feature in the News Of The World just before the tour started.

If you didn’t get to read the article, click here for hi-res scans. Cheers to my mum for spotting this!!

Tour stuff to come on Wednesday, will be updating the live archive with setlists/photos from all the shows. I have sets for all shows except Folkestone, was you there? Let me know how it went/setlist if you can.

Bradford Setlist

As always, a big thanks to NLF for the setlist. So there you have it, a quite memorable tour has come to an end. I just got back to the States today, from what was a fantastic few weeks back home on blightly. Thanks to you all who sent in reviews/pictures/comments… expect to see all that up over the next week or so.

London Troxy

On election night, Doves played out to a packed sold out London Troxy. The crowd took a while to get going for this one, but they got going just in time for a cracking encore finished off with a rousing Spaceface complete with backdrop video.

Daily Record Article

Apologies for the lack of updates, I’m currently enjoying some family time here in beautiful Northumberland. Tomorrow its a visit to Holy Island. I was very lucky to spend the first 25 years of my life here.

Jimi recently spoke to the Daily Record and spoke about the future, its an excellent read. To read the article click here.

The NME reviewed last night’s gig at Blackburn. For the full review, click here.

Full service will resume next week with lots of reaction from the tour. If you have pictures/reviews whatever from the tour please send them in, I will put them up next week.

Next stop London on Thursday, see you there.

Blackburn gig

Forth gig of the best of tour tonight, fantastic gig, Jimi seemed to be enjoying himself. For me personally it was a very emotional gig. Setlist can be found in the comment. I was not able to get a setlist myself as I had to leave just before the last song. I am not sure about the order of a few songs but those were the songs which have been played.

02 Academy Glasgow


Once again Glasgow did not disappoint. Of the four shows I caught on the tour, this was by far the best of the lot. Up their with one of the best Doves shows I’ve seen. Both band and crowd were brilliant. An unscheduled performance of Spaceface topped the night off. Cherry Ghost earlier opened playing all new songs to an appreciative audience.

Spaceface In Glasgow

Wow what a night in Glasgow. Doves played to a packed out Glasgow Academy, in what was one of the best shows I have seen Doves play in a long time. The crowd played a big part in what was a top top night.

The setlist was similar to Hull, without the Greatest Denier. Doves just had to come back on stage after The Fear to play Spaceface for the first time on the tour
Cheers Glasgow, the best crowd in the UK as always, also a big cheers to big Tam!
The tour continues tomorrow in Blackburn. The blog will pick up coverage of the tour in London on Thursday. See you there!
