Do hope it all goes well, Terrence. Also hoping that one day you'll gather up your passports (whatever colour they happen to be at that point) and make it up to Yorkshire!
We've been up as far as Grimsby, but we've never had a gig in Yorkshire. Not completely impossible, but we usually try to keep within a two hour drive
