Gene Watson UK Tour 1979
 Gene
Watson has been a consistent touring act within the world of country music since
the very early days of his career in the 1970s.
It is here that you will find information with regard to Gene Watson's first
full tour of the United Kingdom, a tour that he undertook in June/July 1979.
The tour also included one concert performance in Belfast, Co. Antrim, Northern
Ireland.
 At
the time of Gene Watson's first full tour of the United Kingdom, he was enjoying
one of the biggest USA country music hits of his career with the defining
'Farewell party', a track included on his then latest album 'Reflections'.
The 'Reflections' album had been released in the
USA in 1978, but it gained a British & Irish release in 1979 to coincide with
the tour.
During the duration of his first tour of the United Kingdom, Gene Watson also
recorded a special session of his (country) music for inclusion within BBC Radio
2's then highly influential 'Country Club' show.
