UPDATE! LEROY HUTSON & Don Blackman & Gregg Perry live in London I know there's some Hutson fans on here, so I thought I'd share the good news that he's going to return to Europe for some selected performances this August. It's his first time overseas in 20 years and especially Soul fans in England are really hyped about this ... for those of you don't know him, check out his bio and music. A ticket will be worth buying - maybe we'll see some of y'all at the shows!
Soul fans in Europe have been waiting for many years. This summer, it is finally going to happen - LeRoy Hutson's highly anticipated return to European stages.

Leroy is one of my favorite solo acts and I'm glad to see him tour Europe again. Unfortunately I probably won't have a chance to attend any of those three performances. You should convince him to come to Finland for the Pori Jazz festival next summer, so I'll get a chance to see him In any case, I wish him all the best On the Org since 2005.

I'm a huge Leroy Hutson fan and have all the albums. I'll be in London the week before the gig. I'm so sad to miss that one.Hope there are more dates coming up.
When was the last time he toured? /peace Manki | |

It's been a long time that he toured ... and more than 20 years since he was in Europe. LeRoy is more comfortable in the studio and doesn't tour for the sake of touring ... and he doesn't need to tour to make a living. The circumstances have to be right, and they are right this year.
But even after his last album "Paradise" he has been quite active in the background .. as a producer and arranger. He is working with his son a lot, JR Hutson, who works closely with Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild. Hutson wrote "So beautiful" for him.
These upcoming European shows are going to be major ... we've already worked on the arrangements and I have heard first band demos, it sounds exactly as on record, including the major orchestration. Shame you're gonna miss this one ... hopefully, we'll do some more after that. There's definitely a high demand. | |

I wonder what Leroy and Don look like now. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
Leroy looks exactly like he did in 1979. It's amazing how well this guy took care of himself. Don't know about Don ... I don't have anything to do with his show. | |

I'm thinking ole Leroy ain't got grey hair at all then by this statement.
Maybe some pictures can be posted soon.
Oh yeah Harley loves her some Don Blackman. | |

Does'nt the article confirm that though ? ...
"...Lovers of soul will also recognise Don from a number of rare groove classics: the funky 'Haboglabotribin', which he wrote for Bernard Wright..." | |

Oh ok, my mistake then. I missed that part after I read the Bernard Wright penned Haboglabotribin’. | |
