I’m blown away by this response..22 sold out shows!!! It’s been a tough couple of years to be honest so it feels great to be able to look forward to doing this tour next autumn. I’m particularly keen to share some of the new music I’m working on right now as well as revisiting all those old tunes I haven’t played in ages. It’s gonna be a lot of fun so a big “thanks” to everyone who’s jumped in today!
