Hello..


I'm in London..
I saw some posts about touring and one particularly upset fan in Texas thinking that we aren't coming there.
Hey...chill!! Actually all the dates for the u.s haven't been released yet and I do believe we are coming to Texas.
Here's the deal.. I'd go EVERYWHERE if we could. A lot of dates etc are due to availability. Imagine the nighmare of working out an entire tour of the u.s playing in every city and venue that we would like..then factor in the fact that the venue you may need may not be available on the day we are in the town..or that there isn't one large enough to fit the production and in the case of texas...there isn't a promoter willing to offer a fee large enough to make it possible for us to bring the show there.


Very little I do is about money. I am a songwriter and I get paid everytime someone buys an album. Touring for us has never really been a profitable venture..but one I really adore. So usually...we break even on tours because we do everything in our power to come to your town. That's why at the moment there are some places (eg South Africa) that we haven't scheduled in..but are hoping to.


Rest assured..if we don't come to your city..it's because it's not possible...not because we don't want to. As I explained earlier...I don't care if I don't make money.. I'd still play the show in your town..but sometimes.. in the case of South America or South African dates..financially it is difficult to make it possible to pay to haul all the trucks..the staff..the stage..the lights etc and put on the show. But we're working on it. Believe me..the reason dates are not released is because they are not finalised. I would never want to get hopes up and then cancel.


So..in short...we are sorting out a Texas date...
If they haven't been already..The Californian ones are about to be announced.
The European tour is being set up at the moment.
We're looking into South America and South Africa and even working on the possibility of Russia.
More news as we know it.


Thanks for being so patient!!!
Love
