My guess is he's 'not culturally unique enough' to do gigs in the US these days... like so many other Brits who cannot get a Visa - Les Barker and Grant Baynham to name but two. Stinks, dunnit?!

He played at the Railway, Lymm, a few weeks ago - to a full house. I was the sound man as well as the support artiste, and it was a great night!
