Dear Friends and Gatherers,

I am extremely disappointed to have to announce that I am unable to participate in the upcoming Australia/New Zealand Killing Joke tour.

I’ve been suffering from an increasingly acute tendonitis, no doubt brought on by hours on concentrated scalpel use whilst restoring ancient sculptures. Nothing to do with my using the wrong end of heavy drum sticks, nor twisting my arm drilling granite, swinging a hammer and chisel, nor my years of blacksmithing! Anyway, right now I can barely hold a cup of tea. Raising my arm or reaching causes pain and I have little grip; I’ve dropped more than just the beat recently. So per doctor’s orders, all such activities must cease until, with therapy, my arm recovers.

My sincere apologies to all.

I’m grateful to Jason Bowld for stepping in for me.
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying being back with Jaz, Geordie and Youth and Reza’s great to have around. The shows have been tremendous and I look forward, upon my recovery, to making a new album and another chance to visit you all in the Antipodes.

Thanks for your support and, I hope, your understanding.

Yes yes yes, the rumours are true. We’ll be playing a very special and wonderfully intimate 250 capacity warm-up show on March 14th at The Zombie Hut in Corby. Tickets won’t hang around long for this one, but here‘s where you’ll find them.

Looking forward to seeing the Gatherers a bit more up close and personal than we have in a while.

Regards.
