    Hi Simon.
    Yes the BC tour went very well.
    We had 3 really good head liner and the spirit was amaizing!
    Man, you are lucky to play with an artist like Oli (but, don't say that to him...!)
    Please, give him my love and ask him if his "chatte" goes well...
    Thanks for your message and hope to meet you soon!
