Once again, no U.S. dates.
Come back Shane!
YAAAAGHHH!!! 
WAAH!!! Newcastle Arena 16/12-I’m there!!(Shite venue-an aircraft hanger-the strange thing is,the architect was a musician,Nigel Stanger,who played sax with John Mayall).
I saw the toothless one in Feb. of this year,and he was in fine form (well,as ‘fine’ as could be expected)-he got through tons of classic material.
Well,LORDY,LORDY!
