Steve:
I'm hoping for a new album in January as well. How amazing if you get to see the new material live for the first time! I was at the Apollo Theater show at the start of the last tour and it was fantastic to see those songs played live for the first time.
Fingers crossed for US dates in the Spring. I'm actually carrying over vacation that I had saved for this Fall when the tour here never materialized, so I'm ready to hit the road
Enjoy! What a thrill for you.
