Steve Ignorant's Last Supper tour is just over two weeks away and more dates have been added. Read on for the background and new dates as well as a photographic challenge for all you punks out there! BACKGROUND In 2007, STEVE IGNORANT gathered some friends together and put on two shows at Shepherd¹s Bush Empire in London. Called The Feeding Of 5000, the show was a celebration of the Crass album of the same name, which was performed in its entirety. It most certainly was not a CRASS reunion, and never sought to be. The Last Supper tour will answer the calls that have come from around the globe in response to the Shepherd¹s Bush gigs. Steve will be celebrating the period of Crass¹ work with which he feels most closely aligned the period when he feels the band were at their strongest, most productive and most hopeful. Steve will be performing with a full band. as well as featuring Crass songs (plus a few other favourites) there will be some rather special visuals. The touring line up includes Gizz Butt (guitar), Bob Butler (bass), Spike T Smith (drums), Beki (vocals) and of course Steve Ignorant (vocals). Having started in London in 2007, this new expanded show will now visit other parts of the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA before a FINALE in London in 2011. At which point the door will be firmly closed. The UK leg will begin in September: 24 Sep Bristol - O2 Academy 25 Sep Birmingham - O2 Academy 01 Oct Manchester - Academy 02 Oct Edinburgh - Liquid Room The dates on the continent are as follows: 15 Oct Netherlands - Melkweg 16 Oct Cologne - Underground 17 Oct Frankfurt - Exzess 19 Oct Munich - Feierwerk 20 Oct Berlin - Festaal 21 Oct Lodz - Dekompresja 22 Oct Hamburg - Hafenklang 23 Oct Copenhagen - Loppen 24 Oct Groningen - Vera 20 Nov Finland, Tampere, Klubi *NEW DATE* 21 Nov Finland, Helsinki, Nosturi *NEW DATE* Before heading back to play Ireland: 26 Nov Dublin - Village *NEW DATE* 27 Nov Belfast - Empire *NEW DATE* Please help us to spread the word and if you would like to go along to see one of the shows do not hesitate to get in touch.
