If you've just listened to Duane on Jonathan Ross's radio show you will know that Duane will be playing a few dates in the Autumn here in the UK, including an appearance on Jools' Later.
Looking forward to that!
Duane to play the UK!

Very good Duane interview today on Jonathan Ross' BBC Radio Two Saturday morning show — some great stories. Thankfully, Ross seems to have left behind much of his self-promoting facetiousness and the programme was all the better for it — really excellent.
The autumn UK tour dates will be 'musts', particularly the Festival Hall.

Duane (and Deed) was in the UK for the annual Mojo (magazine) awards. Duane was awarded "Mojo Musical Icon" - well deserved, too!

Rich, I was able to listen to the BBC broadcast. Duane comes on at about 2:40:24. It was a good interview. They played a version of Rebel Rouser. Duane told a cool story about swapping guitars with Buddy Holly backstage one time.

Glad it worked, Richard: the BBC is a bit funny about non UK access to some of its iPlayer material.
That version of Rebel Rouser was in stereo and not the original: I wonder whence it came?
It was suggested in the interview that Duane is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his first UK tour by visiting us in October. As one who went to one of those 1960 gigs I can't wait.

The guy who put me on to this is a friend who now lives in Spain. I mentioned here, a while back, that this guy not only helped Duane & band cart their gear to a train station after a UK gig ('63, I think) but also stayed on the station with them chatting until the, delayed, train arrived to take them on. Deed said Duane remembered this episode.
This same guy has just emailed me this:- "Y'know...Duane doesn't seem to have changed a bit from those early days when he had to catch a train home from a gig!!! He doesn't just deserve recognition for his music....he should be receiving humanity awards! So many other so-called 'stars' could learn from him."
Sums it up, I think.

Looking forward to the autumn

Great to hear that Duane will be in the UK hopefully later this year' Last time I caught him live was back in the 60s in Liverpool . The Royal Albert Hall would be fantastic if it works out.We have a great fan base here in the UK of Duane's al very excited .I enjoyed the interview with Jonathan Ross and due respect shown by him was nice.
