Once again, we are compelled to make the following additional announcement about the tour. Rick does not choose the venues or the towns - the tour is put together by a promoter who attempts to sell the idea to theatres the length and breadth of the UK. Please do not email us to complain.
I think the bottom sentence speaks volumes... Easy Livin' didn't shout loud enough....

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Nice to see a date in my area (Great Yarmouth) but I'd rather it was in Norwich.

Unfortunately, we've seen such poor excuses before from Rick, who let us down in Glasgow recently when he and Anderson cancelled their planned gig there.
It seems odd that so many other bands can play throughout the UK, but Rick has great difficulty in travelling beyond the Watford Gap. He promised about 6 years ago to tour the Celtic nations, we are still waiting.

In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire hurricanes hardly ever happen...
