No doubt we’ll be clocking up the miles on the road, as we always do with many hours spent on the tour bus, but American audiences are so much fun to play to and are so loud in their appreciation that it is one of the most rewarding countries to tour. We’ve toured the U.S. every year for the last three years, this being the fourth, and it gets better every time.”\
