KID CREOLE & THE COCONUTS

’The Creolian Bye Bye Birdy’ Tour
 
A word from Kid Creole (August Darnell):
 
Hello Music Lovers of all ages and persuasions.
 
Welcome to the Lifeboat Party! 15 years ago, I said it was time for me to retire. I lied. It was not. 10 years ago, I said, "Now it is truly time for me to retire!" I lied. It was not. Now, it is 2025. I'm not going to say it again. I'm just going to do it.
 
It's been an amazing journey from my little neighborhood in the Bronx to every continent in the world. I could not have done it without one major companion - MUSIC.
 
It is very fitting that the first BYE BYE BIRDY TOUR should take place in Great Britain because I am told that is where the first 'foreign' Kid Creole and the Coconuts Tour took place in 1981. I say 'I am told' because I have no recollection of such details. I trust the OTHERS who have better memories. And I say 'foreign' because the band was born in New York City.
 
The music will live on. Of this I am certain. It is ageless.
 
May I introduce the cast? Of course. I am not alone on that stage. I am extremely fortunate to have by my side:
 
Coconut - Roos Van Roosum
Coconut - Charlotte De Graaf
Coconut - Kristina Hanford
M.D./ Keys - Mike Gorman
Keys - Tim Vine
Bass - Otto Williams
Guitar - Jamie McCredie
Guitar - Mark Anthony Jones
Drums - Dave Imbue
Trombone - Barnaby Dickinson
Saxophone - Edgar Jones
Trumpet - Nathan Bray
 
I can guarantee two things:  We're gonna have a funky good time. And you're gonna find out who Annie's Daddy really is. At last.
 
HaChaChaCha!
 
Tropical Gangsterly Yours,
 
The Kid
 
P.S.,
 
The BYE BYE BIRDY TOUR is dedicated to Bongo Eddie, Lee Robertson, Winston Grennan and Carol Colman.
