“It’s the last night of the UK tour in Wolves tonight and then we’re off to Belgium for a festival tomorrow and back to the UK for a festival in Cornwall on Sunday. The gigs on this tour have been really good and it’s been great playing some of the old songs like Barrel of a Gun which we haven’t played for nearly 15 years! Thanks to everyone who has come to see us, we’ll see you soon...” Jez Leveller
There have been some great reviews and photos from the tour including these online from Virtual Festivals and egigs
