The aforementioned Albert Hall show also turned out to be a much – acclaimed and revelatory experience for us all.
Bravo, chaps and my heartfelt thanks, again. I have to congratulate the guys for pulling off five major US west coast concerts in my absence after I was hauled in for emergency eye surgery in Los Angeles and forbidden to move for weeks! By all accounts they were splendid, and it goes to show nobody’s indispensible, and everything’s possible when you have that caliber of stalwart musicians and highly trusted people in your ranks. Nonetheless, the year had its highs to compensate these giant lows, and some of our memories of 2019 are happy ones, and were mildly - to - heroically triumphant in several cases. That, and the theft of three of our main instruments on the eve of London’s Royal Albert Hall concert in July, all add up to pretty comprehensive roadblocks, the likes of which we hope not to see again.
Two major injury / illnesses and a couple of bereavements this past autumn rather derailed our cruise and caused the postponement of our UK /EU tour until May ’20. They say 2020 is a characteristic of hindsight, but we are looking for an onrush of foresight, as we say goodbye to what was for us possibly the most difficult year ever. I want to wish all our friends, fans, colleagues and co – conspirators a very happy New Year 2020, in but a few hours from now.
