The good news is that the majority of them have been rescheduled to 2021!

The 50th  Anniversary of In The Land Of Grey And Pink UK tour will now be in October 2021 . The promoter has managed to retain all of the original venues plus an additional one in Glasgow .

The date with Procol Harum  has been rescheduled to 3rd July 2021

more dates including Europe will be added in due course

The band are very disappointed to have to postpone the dates this year as they were itching to go back on the road .In order to give the best possible chance for venues to get up and running again the dates were rescheduled for October 2021

details of the dates will be put on this website very soon .

The Boxset has also been delayed due to the Pandemic and is now scheduled to be released next March .

take care and stay safe .

new Anthology Box set out September 6th!

For those who can’t wait for the Snapper boxset in November 2020  – Universal are releasing a really nice  9 CD boxset this September.

Caravan-The Decca Years (An Anthology)  1970-1974

This 9 CD Box Set collects all of Caravan’s Decca/ Deram albums (including bonus material) as well as Fairfield Halls 1974 and ‘The show of our lives’ -Live at the BBC 1970-1975.

It looks like there isn’t anything that hasn’t already been released before when the remasters were done a few years ago. However, it really is a lovely boxset with gatefold sleeves and booklet.

RRP about £66; so good value as well!

YOUR BAND NEEDS YOU!

Dear fan , It is with great pleasure to announce that  we are working on a career defining Boxset which will be released in 2020

It will be a limited edition

As  part of this  set there will be a number of Live recordings  .We  are looking to hear from anyone who has any unofficial  ‘Live’ recordings over the last fifty years that they are willing to share  . We especially need  soundboard / good audience  recordings from the 1970’s.

all recordings will get a full personal  credit in the boxset .

Please in the first instance please  email Martin Davenport:   alfdavenport@yahoo.co.uk .

we are really hoping that a sound engineer may have a recording in their archives that can be used .

many thanks for your continued support . We look forward to playing to you on our UK tour which kicks off in a couple of weeks

regards

Caravan
