and recent retirees - Tanglefoot
It's with great regret - as both their agent and their friend - that I bid farewell to Tanglefoot. Steve, Al, Terry, Sandra and Robert have now completed their final tour in the UK and their last ever Canadian gig took place at the Roxy Theatre in Owen Sound Ontario in December 2009.
Tanglefoot (and I) would like to thank all the venue bookers, promoters and festival organisers who put them in front of UK audiences and all the members of those audiences who came back time and time again for more Tanglefoot music.
The final UK tour was amazing with staunch fans seeing them five or six times on the tour. Thanks, guys, you know who you are.
Tanglefoot's website continues to operate and direct you to the individual bandmembers' new projects.

Read a British review
I started bringing Tanglefoot to the UK in 1998 and introducing an unknown five piece band to a new audience was daunting, but I'd seen these guys play at the Lunenburg Festival in Canada and I knew British audiences would love them if only I could get them into the right venues. Oh, boy! Was I right! My everlasting thanks to those venues which took a flyer on them on that first tour... organisers immediately booked them back, fans - known affectionately as Footheads - started to follow them round to many gigs on the same tour and pushed venues in their own areas to book them for the next tour. It wasn't unusual to have a venue organiser in Birmingham call me up and tell me he has audience coming from as far away as Blackpool and Hull. Tanglefoot were a dream band for an agent to work with. Great musicians, friendly people, easy to get along with, totally professional and incredibly popular. What more could anyone ask for!
"Superior musicians who are able to play with utter abandon and still achieve an exceptionally high musical standard...a genuinely super band of vigorous, head-shaking, hair-tossing wildmen." - Stephen Pedersen Halifax Herald, Nova Scotia
“Simply one of the best live groups I have ever seen.” - Sheree Gillcrist, Music Bulletin
"Strong songwriting, a crowd-pleasing bundle of talent and energy... the kind that gives folk music a good name." - Nancy White, The Toronto Star
Special Guest on Tanglefoot's 2008 and 2009 UK Tour is pianist Robert Graham
