I’m pleased to say my total hip replacement operation just before Xmas 2025 went very well. However, not being allowed to fly for 6 weeks, meant I had to miss the Dubai gig at the end of January with the Dire Straits Experience. So it was great to be back for our trip to Finland, Sweden and Norway 17th - 23rd March . Yes it was cold and snowy, but a lot of fun. Within a week of getting back, we were then off to my 2nd home, Ireland, for a 4 date tour covering Cork , Killarney, Castlebar and finishing in Dublin at the famous Olympia venue. As always, great audiences and so appreciative.
