It was great to get back to Canada for those long-awaited rescheduled Seconds Out & More shows.

As Craig wasn't free to be with us this time, drummer Nick D'Virgilio joined us in Montreal and we all rehearsed there. He caught on to every number fast and rehearsals went like a dream... Jo and I had the chance to get out briefly too. Our pal Ian showed us sights like the lovely Notre Dame Basilica and the intriguing Bio Dome, and with pals Cara, Greg and Pauline we saw the spectacular city view from the top of Mount Royale...

The reaction at the Montreal show was incredible! What an amazing crowd... We then went down to Oakville (near Toronto) where we played three nights at the fabulous Oakville Centre for Performing Arts. Fantastic reactions every night and band totally on fire. We connected again with friends and as December began, outside we loved those thousands of lights creating magical Christmas images...

Our last Canadian stop was Quebec City, a total Winter Wonderland with snow and lights, offset by the fairytale turrets of the beautiful old city walls. We had the chance here to see friends here as well as a brief foray into the fun Christmas market beside the outdoor ice skating rink.

The show that night was totally electrifying with an amazing atmosphere throughout the whole show...

How fantastic to be back! My thanks to Entourage Talent and all the promotors for making it all possible. Thank you Canada... We look forward to returning as soon as possible!

And so now on to the USA East Coast for the next shows...
