Okay, so I'm a little late to the party, but in case you missed it you can now buy tickets for Bill Bailey's latest UK tour of Dandelion Mind, starting in November 2011. Tickets are available from Ticketmaster and Ticketzone.

The Tours been going on a while - Bill Bailey's site describes it in a rather large nutshell as:

"Featuring Bill’s trademark musical interludes, observations and stories of the road, Dandelion Mind is based loosely on the theme of doubt, plus barely contained rants about celebrity, TV, and Michael Winner. He demonstrates new instruments, both ancient and modern, he sings an internet love song, a lament about punk heroes, Iranian hip-hop and plays a mean folk-bouzouki.

"Thomas the Doubter gets a new look, the finer points of nuclear physics and the myth of intelligent design are all worked over in Bill’s own surreal style. He revisits the music of his youth with a French Disco re-working of Gary Numan’s hit ‘Cars’, played in his own inimitable way, and maybe some Wurzels-based remixes of classic German techno, just your normal Bill Bailey gig then…"

It features videos from previous tours like Part Troll, Tinselworm and Bewilderness. Here have a looksie at Bill's rather nice love song from the Part Troll tour:
