MY "DOWN UNDER BLOG"

Great to have a run of shows like we have just had . . . . I love to get my teeth into a bit of hard touring!
Gigs in Ireland were especially good and i think recent TV appearances certainly help the profile of Smokie increase. I would also add, sold out shows in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Cookstown were welcomed and efforts of those TV shows felt worthwhile.

Anyone who got to any shows in Ireland would have noticed my use of my Dad's black Les Paul. I only use it when I feel I can keep it safe . . . It always goes back home with me, a very special instrument that means a lot to me.

At this moment in time, I'm packing for our tour of Australia. I'm looking forward to this trip as I always do. OZ, is without doubt, a special country and I love the diversity of the place. It's going to be a tough old travel with lots of flights, but that's part of the course and we just get on with it! Perth has become my favourite city . . . .  I look forward to many walks at the side of the Swan River!

Whilst on tour I shall have my "Down Under" Blog going on when I get the chance to write something so keep tuned and join me on a trip Down Under!
