  • Niall Curran

    hey don, i figure with you being only up the road, i thought i might have seen you at “live at the marquee” in cork, but it seems in 4 years you havent performed at this yet,
    i would love to think that you could do a show here n 2011,
    a show in dublin would also be amazing, myself and my friends have been constantly checking to see if you had any gigs coming up in ireland but it never seems to be the case!!
    please take it into consideration from a major fan!
    hope you are well many kind regards

  • Dawn

    Does anyone know what time Donovan will be on stage at the Evolution festival on Monday?

  • Bill Bruford

    Hi Donovan. I tried to talk multiple people in Missoula, Montana into hiring you, but they won’t give up the GOODS! Maybe someday if you’re on I-90 going either way you’ll stop by and do a few numbers for the hip masses…

  • Dawn Parker

    Excellent night watching Donovan at the Evolution Festival yesterday. Everyone enjoyed the performance and it was great to see Donovan play again. Would certainly recommend catching him at any other festivals.

  • myspace.com/marklacob

    Good morning Donovan, I am a singer songwriter from New York and have been a fan of yours for more years than I or you would want to admit to. I first saw you live at Lincoln Center here in Manhattan. I remember you coming out onto the stage filled with flowers and you wearing a white caftan to the floor. As you started your first song someone dropped their pocketbook which made a loud thump as it hit the floor–you stopped and asked her to pick it up–and then went on with the song. The things we remember!!! Can’t wait til you come around this way again!

  • Electricpoet41

    Please come back to South Florida, you were one of the best live performances we have ever seen!!!!

  • Frenchgirl1

  • DESIGNAGLASS

    I have many times and I wasn't really aware of his magic til frisco in the 80's an I was born late missing his wave of music now I hook all generations of music into my playlist and people my age tease me about being a flower child I didn't see that because of Donovan I think because he was before us and I live and breathe his lyrical eccentric individual style . Come back to Pdx <D my nickname I GAVE MYSELF CAUSE OF THE TEASING IS CRAB HIPPY LP

  • Dean

    Hi
    I was born in 66 but my mum was a big fan.She still has the,A Gift…box set with all the lovely illustrations.I was distracted by punk etc but now have gone back to donovan stuff,it has a lovely un-cynical sense of appreciation of being alive that seems missing from the world sometimes.

  • Kevinseanmichaels

    When will you play in the United States again?

  • Stasa_bergman

    We are so diaappointed that the tickets for St Ives Festival were sold so fast. Essence to Essence is our favourite disc.

  • serena

    please come to Portland, Oregon! We Love you!

  • Barabajagal

    I started collecting your music back in 1965, since then I have been lucky enough to meet you twice, once in the 70's backstage at the Bickershaw Festival and then in the early 90's when you did a street concert with Arlo Guthrie in Orlando Florida. Great memories and great music. Hopefully I'll get another chance as I'll be at The Moseley Folk Festival in September. In an age when 60's icons are fading fast it's refreshing to see and hear that your music is as clear and beautiful as it's always been.

  • Worriedarthur2

    i would love to see you in a normal concert, where we get to see 2 hrs of you and just you.. or with a band. I last saw you In Southend where my Dad saw your first show !

  • Joel Davis

    Judy and I saw you at Bumbershoot in Seattle several years ago – a great experience, lovely show! Hope you make it back to the U.S. Pacific Northwest again someday soon.

  • Julius

    I’m young, but you are my favourite songwriter. Wish I was born to live in the 60s to hear your music flow in colors, emotions and in the peaceful love… and get that sensation in live concerts!
    So, can you come in Italy? This country ruined by the lies of the power needs you!

    Sorry for my bad english…

  • Chrisvs

    We’d loveto see you in Canada!!

  • Clairelevy

    Hi Please come back to New Zealand again.

  • paintpotannie

    Hi Donovan, Since you live in Cork dont you think you should do some smaller more intimate shows down the country like Waterford or Kilkenny or even Cork. Its impossible to get to a concert in the middle of the week in Dublin. I would love to see you live, Please Please consider doing a few smaller shows for us country people.

    how do you buy the VIP tickets for the Olympia

  • mareejewell@gmail.com

    Booked tickets on day of release and got front row – row A! When tickets arrived they were for row B! Have just listened to interview on Newstalk and Don was saying that front row will go for a meal with him so tried to book for front row but front row is not there! Big, big fans of Donovan, don't want to miss this opportunity. What to do?

    Maree Jewell (The Lord Edward gang!)

  • Brinish

    No luck with the front row in dublin it was not on the site.!!!

  • Stevie B

    Surely you can squeeze in a wee visit to your hometown soon, come on Don, Glasgow belongs to you…

  • Rbitner

    I have to thank you . . .
    I reside in the States and play in a band. My contribution has always been British. We have alovely lady named Delores who happens to own a place in Greece. She has always loved my contributions as they have included you. Sunshine, Hurdy Gurdy, Colours and more.
    A few weeks back, having just retunred from her annual trip to Greece, showed up at our weekly jam session and stunned me to no end by presenting me with a copy of your autobiography “Hurdy Gurdy Man” and signed personally to me … Rich! I was so blown away and cannot fully comprehend that you took the time to sign it for me.
    Evidently she knows somoeone, perhaps a former agent or manager, and had lunch with him in or near Paros, Greece around June/July 2010.
    I hope to meet you someday and express whatyour music has meant to me these many years.
    Donovan … thank you for being you!

  • barrythom@hotmail.com

    Hi Don, T'was great to be at the Uttoxeter evening under the stars. Universal Soldier's words still hold good, unfortunately. The only heroes are those who refuse to fight.

    Can you clarify whether or not you played, or were simply at the Rolling Stones free concert in Hyde Park in 1969? I'm reading stuff now that says you were, but I was there and never saw you, unless you played very early that morning! Hope to catch you again soon.

  • AmberF

    Please come to Clearwater Fl, we could really use some of your good energy and music here! We have a great venue too!

  • krystle

    “I could write a verse for that song Don, and he did but i didnt record it..” Always makes me giggle. I do hope you cross the ocean just one more time though. I would do whatever it would take to see you.

  • Petertsmith

    Can you come to the North of England or Scotland please?

  • Rik1953

    Yesterday evening I was at the concert of Donovan in The Roma in Antwerp.

    What a great show it was. The first part was an acoustic show with a lot of songs of the early sixties : Colours,Try for the sun,Remember the Alamo,Donna Donna, Josie, Universal soldier, Little Tin soldier, a celebration of Derroll Adams the Banjoman with a few songs. A very nice version of Catch the wind was the last song before a short break. It was nice to hear Donovan celebrating Derroll as his teacher in the early sixties. And here in Antwerp Derroll's wife was in the audience.

    The second part of the show was with the group. Donovan and his group played all the hits of the sixties : Sunshine superman, Mellow yellow,

    There's a mountain, Wear your love like heaven, Jennifer Jupiter, Hurdy gurdy man, Barabajagal en two of my favorites Lalena and Season of the witch. The encore was Atlantis.

    For me the first part was the best because of the more unknown songs of the early sixties but most of the people liked the seconds part with all the hits.

    What a great performance !

  • Erika Peeters

    Thank you for the wonderful concert at the Roma in Antwerp. It’s always great to see/hear someone who has evolved but still remains true to himself. Once again, many thanks.

    Hi legendary DONOVAN,

    Since this is your last tour, I hope you will comeback and play at the Birchmere in Virginia once more. It would be great to see you one last time. It is a shame this is your last tour. With the music scene continually fading, we need you more than ever. Rock on, Jim Sowder

  • Jim

    To celebrate the legendary DONOVANs new album RITUAL GROOVE, this month I am doing another DONOVAN tribute. Check out my new LIVE rendition of the classic DONOVAN song SING MY SONG at my myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/JimSowder ) ! Since I can’t fade out live, I wrote an ending to the song. So my version is slightly longer than the original. I hope you and DONOVAN like it, Jim

  • Guest

    Donovan, Please come back to Monterey, Callifornia. Saw you there in May 2009 at the Golden State Theater. Really loved the concert and the special perfume floating in the air inside the theater. Or perhaps your mgmt. can book you at a new venue in Riverside, California. The Fox Theater (landmark in downtown Riverside, California) has been restored and now a very nice venue for music and other artistic performances.

  • Rossettimuse1800

    Please O please come back to L.A!

    Remember when you played at the Hollywood Bowl in 1966 and you brought your father onstage? You both had white robes and flowers. Then as we all stood silently…It began to rain…what a blessed night that was…a technicolor vignette, frozen in time for me… Beautiful life…beautiful love beautiful music :)

  • Raphael Valente75

    Hi budy,
    Congratulation for your work since the 60′s. And thank you, my friend.
    I started play guitar because of you.
    I saw you in Antwerp, Belgium.It was a great time. I live in France, and I took the bus to Antwerp, because it’s less expensive. The place was under a hard rain. I was lost in this unknown city, and I walked and walked for hours under the sad rain to find the place for the gig.
    Finaly, I found it. And I saw you, I heard your lovely music (it’s better than weed, you know).
    Later, after the gig, I slept in a park. The weather was cold, dogs came to smell me, but in my heart, it was warm.
    “… But you must come to Belgium, to shake the tatooed hand”.

    Thank you… and come to Paris, one day!

  • Jimbo

    Santa Barbara, California misses you. We have a great vacation rental by the beach and you could be our guest.
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • Richard Bignell

    Just returned from frozen Skegness – Donovan was truly great, we were in the presence of a master.

  • Marimorus

    Just back from the Butlins' weekend. Took 7 hours to drive there and 8 to get back through snow, ice and freezing fog. Stood outside for hours and half in sub zero but it was worth it!

    Very well choosen sets – 1st was acostic well suited to the “folk weekend” 2nd was more hardcore (the group was great too). Most of us couldn'y really believe we were in Butlins, in Skegness, in the worst early December weather anyone can remember and many had to cancel- but it ALL came good.

    Thank you Don for eveything – already looking forward to seeing you in the Albert Hall.

  • Rusty

    Hi. Travelled from Devon to Skegness just to see what Donavan was like after all the intervening years. Great and what memories. Age might have affected us all, but the voice and performance was brilliant and well worth the journey.

  • Andystephens24

    Loved you at Skeggie in December, hardly the SUMMER of love but a great wekend. Lookin forward to catching you at the Albert Hall in June. thanks man.

  • Ruddy

    Hi Donovan, I've been a big fan of yours since the beginning, but I've never been able to make it to one of your concerts for one reason or another.

    Three years ago when you had a date in the Spring outside of New York City in Poughkeepsie or near there, at the last minute I found out that my youngest son had a graduation dinner I needed to attend and I couldn't make it. I was heartbroken.

    Please try to arrange another tour that makes stops in the Northeast region of the States so I can finally make it. And in closing, I'm a little embarassed to say that after 40 uddy@thompsondevelopmentgroup.com of loving what I think is your best album, Sunshine Superman, I have learned that your beautiful song Celeste was named after the instrument that I assume you are playing throughout the song, and not the name of that “strange young girl”…

    All the best to you for a Happy New Year!

  • Ruddy

    Hi,

    My name is Ruddy Thompson, and I just wrote a post (within the last hour) that needed to be reviewed. I don't see it posted, so I'm not sure of its status.

    Also, is it true that Donovan really hasn't been voted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame yet? If it's true, that's crazy, and what an oversite. He absolutely blows away many of the inductees over the last 20 years…

    I would personally love to take on that campaign for Donovan. It would be “The Trip” for me!

  • Michaeld

    Donovan please come back to Santa Cruz, CA. I had the pleasure of hearing you at the Catalyst club. You were amazing and when I met you later in the evening I actually got to hug you. I have never actually felt such a peaceful energy from anyone in my life including other great musicians. Thank You so much for that!!

  • Mikemotonsils

    i grew up in yhe nineties. discovered the many treasures of this man's music. i am a musician in it for yhe joy of writing. and i have to say that this man's music has been the most inspirational touching experience for me. never has or will be an artist that combines so many genras and wrap them all into one. one cannot put a label on donovan's music. to my biggest inspiration in art in general. i truely love your contribution to the world of music

  • Stevekind03

    What would it take to get you to play in Eugene Oregon in the U.S. ? Would you come if you knew how many fans you have here that listen and play your music? How about if you knew that a lot of the London and San Francisco 60′s scene moved here? We could put together a fund raiser yo fly you out or a fundraiser for you to play at. Are you looking for a guarantee amount of cash? What will it take? Let us know because we really want you to play here.

  • http://www.JimSowder.com JIM

    To celebrate the legendary DONOVANs new album RITUAL GROOVE, this month I am doing another DONOVAN tribute. Check out my new LIVE rendition of the DONOVAN song FLAME (from the new album) at http://www.JimSowder.com or my myspace http://www.myspace.com/JimSowd… ! Since I can’t fade out live, I wrote an ending to the song. So my version is slightly longer than the original. Also, I added a harmony to the chorus. I hope you and DONOVAN like it, Jim

  • Betsy in Virginia Beach

    Thank you for your beautiful, gentle music, which still soothes and delights me today as much as it did in the '60's. It is my hope that life has dealt lovingly with you.

    Your music soothed many a soul back in the 60″s. Would be a wonderful thing if Shawn Phillips could tour with you. With or without sitar, he would be a neat compliment.

  • Josef Ferri

    I’m traveling from America – 4500 miles – to see this great poet of music. His lyrics from “Catch The Wind” are forever attached to the greatest love of my life and I am forever in Donovan’s debt for articulating those precious and defining words. Donovan has no other equal and I find I must finally see him in person. I urge everyone to seize every moment and opportunity to experience as much life and beauty as possible because Time moves swiftly. Too soon we find ourselves regretting missed opportunities. That’s why I chose to make this trip from America to see this very special concert performed by one of the most unique artists of our time. I urge anyone who can attend this event to please do. Don’t be one of those people who say, “I should’ve gone to that concert.” 

  • Michellewhittaker1982

    please come to Manchester!!  You cancelled the last gig and I really want to see you live as I have been a fan who has loved you all my life and has made other people love you as equal.  I am 28 and I have loved your music since a really small age. Your music has inspired me. I had a double tape of your music that I never found on cd but on my 21st birthday my dad found a CD similar that really made my birthday.Tin solders, universal solder, and all the colours are my favourites. Loved seeing you on the BBC. Your greatest fan

  • Evadzed

    donovan- let us know when you will be playing in california.  thanks,  david garnett

  • Julia

    Wow! I just found this website through youtube, and I must say I could not be more delighted to hear about upcoming concerts etc.  I’ve been entranced by Donovan’s music since the age of four.  I look forward to seeing the “Pied Piper” sometime in the states.

  • Born20years2late!

    didn’t know it was the whole of  the SS album w/ orchestra, I just got tickets regardless of what he was playing!!!!!!!!!!! it’s gonna be a cosmic happening baby!!!!!!!!!!!!! can’t wait til tomorrow night!! never heard 3 King Fisher live before!!!

  • Sdlga

    I will be there tomorrow

  • Rhythmspace

    I would like to say congratulations on inviting Shawn Phillips to participate in your upcoming concert. Kudos to you; I think Shawn Phillips certainly deserves wider recognition and exposure in the world of music (& the music business). Recognition is long overdue. Bless you both, and here’s wishing you a great “Collaboration”.
    With love & light;
    G.T.

  • Auntieba

    Thank you so much for inviting Shawn Phillips on stage with you; I didn’t know until yesterday that you had ever played together, despite loving your music since high school in the late 1960s. I was privileged to hear you in concert in 1970 – acoustic, which was the best way to appreciate your talent, skill, and incredible voice.  I’m a longtime fan of Shawn Phillips too, so I wish with all my heart I’d been able to hear you today.  Love and Light, Elizabeth

    I came in for the weekend from Dubai and loved it! I used to do a paper round when I was 12/13 in England and bought the singles/EPs and some bootlegs with my money, wish I still had them! Do still have the original Marble Arch albums though. What a wonderful night, Jimmy Page and Newton too, awesome! Thanks a million!

  • Marimorus

    What can I say about the Albert Hall! Maybe not the very best night vocally – so much emotion I guess. But what a night – the buzz, the family, the friends – John Cameron, Danny Thompson, Shawn Phillips, Jimmy Page – it was the only place in the universe to be.
    A really brilliant night – and I brought a signed copy of Ritual Grove. The whole night was being filmed – when and where will we be able to see this?
    It was a real privilege to be present as such a happy family event. Thank you Don for giving the world so much – if the world will only hear the poet……

  • Alain (France)

    I was there. Fabulous to see him in the VIP lounge !

  • girl of the 60s

    Donovan, thank you so much for such a fantastic evening at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday. I just hope that you and your family enjoyed it as much as my friend and myself did!
    I have waited years to see you again and it was so worth the wait! You justly deserved the standing ovation and I can’t imagine a better way than that for you and Linda to celebrate your Ruby Wedding, than to share it with all your fans.
    I am still on cloud nine and will remember that wonderful night for ever.

    Hello, Donovan.My dream was come true. I went your fantastic concert at Royal Albert Hall from Tokyo. It was especial opportunity for me. I felt the creative world of infinity of British Folk by my skin.In 2008. I visited the one of the private studio in “HatField ” to finish up our Ukulele Album of “PAITITI” with our member.We heard voice of many blackbird. Many flower was blooming on the ground. Hatfield was beautiful place.Please came to Japan again. I think that we need your voice now.Thanks a lot. Hidenori ishida (Paititi)
