Bob Dylan Programme, Wed 21 May, 22:00-22:40
Bob Dylan's Indian Birthday:
Storyville In Shillong, North India, each year
the village comes together to celebrate the
birthday of their musical hero - Bob Dylan.
At the heart of the celebrations
is Lou Majaw, a local celebrity who has toured
India performing Dylan's songs for over 30
years. This film takes a behind-the-scenes look
at Majaw's life seeing how the rock and roll
lifestyle is affecting him. Some strong
language.

Because of a production
error, the revised & updated

then be published simultaneously by Continuum in
the US and UK.

The DVD is available now in

UPDATED ARIL 22, 2008
Many of the forthcoming
European tour dates have been settled for a
while but the dates in Spain have taken a
while to sort out. Though uncertain as to
whether final contracts have been signed in
all cases, our Wicked Messenger
believes the position to be as follows:
26 May, Reykjavik / 28 May,
Odense / 30 May, Stavanger / 1 June,
Helsinki / 3 June, St. Petersburg / 4 June,
Tallinn / 5 June, Vilnius / 7 June, Warsaw /
9 June, Ostrava / 10 June, Vienna / 11 June,
Salzburg / 13 June, Varazdin / 15 June,
Trento / 16 June, Bergamo / 18 June,
Chatillon, near Aosta / 19 June, grenoble /
20 June, Toulouse / 22 June, Andorra / 23
June, Zaragoza / 24 June, Pamplona / 27
June, Vigo / 28 June, Gredos / 1 July,
Cuenca / 2 July, Alicante / 4 July, Lorca /
5 July, Jaen / 6 July, Arganda del Rey, near
Madrid / 8 July, Jerez de la frontera / 10
July, Merida / 11 July, Oeiras, near Lisbon
Compared with our previous
listings, some of the dates in Spain have
changed and and another city has been
added. In Spain and possibly elsewhere,
there may have been changes to venues.

8THE
NEXT “BOOTLEG SERIES” RELEASE
This
was included by Ian Woodward in the paper
version of the ISIS Newsletter, sent out on
Wednesday 9 April, 2008.
For some time now,
traces of rumour have been accumulating that,
between them, suggest Legacy Records will be
releasing another in the “Bootleg Series” later
this year. In itself, this may not be too
surprising but it seems that, like the very
first in the “Bootleg Series”, this will be a
“(rare and unreleased)” issue. This forthcoming
album has not yet appeared on the Sony schedules
but a September release is anticipated, subject
only to the usual unforeseen delays. This is
expected to be a double–CD of mainly
officially-unreleased studio material that,
chronologically speaking, will overlap with the
original “Volumes 1-3” release.
8Dylan’s
Canadian and European Tour 2008
From a variety of
sources, I have pieced together the likely
itinerary and schedule of Dylan’s forthcoming
Canadian and European tour. I must stress that,
as far as is known, no contracts have been
signed for the European leg, so some details
could very well change. Frankly, this list is a
mixture of report, rumour and reasoned
supposition. Nevertheless, I believe it to be as
well-founded as could be at this point in time.
