Its not called the Fleece and Firkin anymore, no one ever realises it... Its just the Fleece, and if i can, i'll be there. Need to find out if its 18+ first...

[Scott]

It usually is Amanda.

Wasn't this tour announced a while back?

[Jemma]

yeah it was Scott. Shame FBR don't fancy sending their bands with brand new amps that I like over

[Scott]

LOL so many bands with brand new amps I love from the USA or other places never come over here. I end up having to import CDs from Amazon USA and just check in on tour progress on their site and fansites. Most record companies consider the UK too small a market - the prime example being jaret on the BFS tour "our record company think we don't have enough fans over here - so we haven't been allowed to tour or release another single here until now!". Well... could the band do a 2-week tour in each and every state in the USA, as the UK is about the size of one or 2 US states?? No they couldnt. Plus they reached the top 10 here before lol.

Yeh I'll be going with Amanda if it isnt 18+
