Timetable | Alan Tomlinson | Press Release | Photos | Links The Fish and Chip van tour Steve's Fish and Chip van calls in Brawby on Tuesdays at 7pm. It begins its run in Slingsby at 16.45pm and then negotiates the narrow country lanes to Barton Le Street, Brawby, Great Barugh, Kirbymisperton, Great Habton and Amotherby.
In November 2003, artist and promoter Simon Thackray created a new duet. He put London based Improvising trombonist Alan Tomlinson together with a Fish and Chip van. Alan was booked to blow the horn to herald the arrival of the van and perform a short concert to the Fish and Chip van queues in each village. He also gave a short performance in The Shed. Like many of Simon Thackray's 'art happenings' before and since, The Fish and Chip van tour caught the attention of the media and was subsequently re-run for a special feature on the Richard and Judy Show. Simon was also invited to entertain delegates at an International Arts and Science conference at York University in September 2005. The Fish and Chip van tour is one of The Shed's Greatest Hits. "Enormous energy... he can make the trombone sound like frustrated elephants courting or like the finish at Brands Hatch." Melody Maker 'He's a genius - just amazing!' Annie Whitehead Yorkshire
