Next I'm hoping to bring out an EP with such tracks as Kid Gloves, The King of Zydeco , and a tribute to the late Alexis Korner called Alexis. There is an old film of Rory playing in Belfast, made by Tony Palmer at the height of the Troubles in the early Seventies. We were probably the only band to have played there for months at the time. It was great and its kind of spooky to look back at it now Rory today doesn't want to spend all his time looking back. He's got extensive tour plans, a great new album and a new generation of fans cheering him on.
Life is pretty hectic.
The new album has brass and keyboards on a few tracks so when we go out on the road, we might have to expand the band, but I still like the sound of the trio. Rory will be playing festivals throughout the summer and a full British tour in the Autumn. He has been offered dates in America, Japan and Australia, but has had a problem with flying for the past couple of years. I could do it for years, two or three times in a day, but then I had a couple of bumpy ones in Norway with five helicopter trips in one day which put me off.
