The tour kicks off tomorrow after over a week of rehearsals in Killarney... (where cheap wine costs £20 a bottle and Guiness in £4.50 a pint!)
We wish you the very best of luck as you start your long trek; come back to us safe and sound...
p.s. There's a lady in Japan and a few thousand more who want to see you there...
And I'll see you in Nottingham...
