One of my most enjoyable sidelines is playing pedal steel, slide and noisy electric guitars with The Dylan Project, a spin-off from Fairport Convention led by Steve Gibbons.
The Proj is touring through November & December and here are the 2009 dates so far:

The Dylan Project has recorded two studio albums. The first has been re-released as a double package with their Live at Cropredy Festival 1999 and two bonus tracks recorded on their 2007 tour. It is on John Tobler's wonderful Road Goes on Forever label and is available at all good record shops or Fairport's online boutique! .
