I have today (Sunday) received an update from the tour courtesy of drummer Derrick McKenzie. He says the following...
Hi David and all you fans,
Just sitting in my room in Salzubrg today waiting to go to soundcheck. We played a gig last night in Bologna it was a good one and the Italian crowd loved it as always - they never let us down!!!!!! I am having a great time on the road this time round and playing a hell of a lot better than before thanks to Mr Paul Turner "Groove Master". The band is sounding great all round and we are all looking forward to tonight's show. We did an overnight to Salzburg which took the good part of eight to nine hours so was not in the best of shapes coming off a bus half asleep. Light years went down a storm last night considering we haven't played it in bloody years it still sounds as if we have been playing it throughout the whole tour!!!! We do look forward to the tour and hitting America, Japan and of course Australia and entertaining you all. I would like to say a big thank you to all the fans who have bought the new album and the old ones and supporting the band for the pass 13 years, Also I would like to thank all people that have turned up to our gigs and supported the tour so far - it means a lot to the boys and myself and I can't wait to start all over again in 2006. Take care for now and if I have a spare few minutes I will give you all another update. Take care for now Derrick
OK, it sounds like touring plans for 2006 are being prepared, which is excellent news to be hearing...
