Greetings from the spiffy 2FM Roadcaster in Portlaoise where I’m faffing about and listening to Bowie while David does the actual work out in the office and I check my Facebook. Sweet.

The tour bus has just pulled up. It’s HUGE. Ham Sandwich and Dave Geraghty are decamping beside me as I type. No flunky roadies on this tour…

It all starts tonight here in Sky, we’re on the radio outside the purddy Heritage Hotel from 2 and then me and Cormac introing the bands tonight…
