Was at Freiburg show which was fantastic. Robert and Adele both confirmed that no shows will be played in Ireland this year. Nothing sinister - just wanted to do more shows in England this time having been to Dublin almost every year over the past 8 years. However they are planning to do more European dates in Aug/Sept after finishing in USA.
Yep, I asked Robert why no Irish gigs after the Zurich show - he basically said becasue they'd been last year and was afraid of over-doing it. No chance - think you'll always get a good turnout in Ireland (at least I saw them in 2000 pretty well fill the Olympia).
