It is understandable that there will be some questions concerning the intentions of the band and the reason to go out on the road again. Alison Wheeler, Dave Stead and myself thought it would be exciting to get together again with Damon Butcher and the brass lads Gary Birtles & Tony Robinson; to play some songs that we haven't had the chance to play live for quite awhile, and some other songs we have never played live at all.

There will be new songs as well... but the intent is to concentrate on a back catalogue of songs going back over several albums, and obviously we have a new guitarist and bassist to introduce to you too."
