Wayne is showing Gord at The Town Hall in NYC on October 29th; it's not yet on their website. Bruce Hornsby is listed - maybe he cancelled and Barry grabbed the opening?

The October dates on the Town Hall site are for 2004. They (Town Hall) are actually a customer of mine, but not for the web site.

As I have said before, there is often a long delay between the time the artist announces his dates (and they get forwarded to Pollstar and made available to others), and the time that the venue lists it. Both the venue and the promoter - which is often a different person - make the decision about when to "announce". In many cases, the box office people have no idea about concerts that have been "announced" elsewhere for months.

Last time Lightfoot performed at Town Hall, the concert was listed 3 or 4 months ahead of the concert date. Tickets were sold by the Town Hall box office and Ticketmaster, but not until much closer to the concert. I think it was 9 weeks.
