Merry Christmas!

The magic of Christmas is once again upon us and what a great year we've had in FM-land. We've now done Download Festival two years running, Graspop in Belgium, Sweden Rock and the very picturesque Rock The Nation Loreley Festival in Germany. We revisited Holland, Portugal, the Republic Of and Northern Ireland. We even managed to finally play our first show in Spain (25 years of planning finally pays off). We had the honour at some of the afore-mentioned shows of playing with the legends that are Thin Lizzy, Journey and Foreigner to name just a few.

The follow-up to METROPOLIS is well under way and we will be busy finishing it off in the early months of 2012. Live-wise, in the first part of next year we have the Great British Rock & Blues Festival in Skegness in January to look forward to plus of course our Indiscreet 25 Live shows in March.  Just the thought of it all has us buzzing with anticipation!

There are many, many people who have helped us in making 2011 such a successful year. You know who you are and we really appreciate all your hard work above and beyond the call of duty. Respect to one and all.

Once again though, extra-special thanks goes out for all the support, encouragement, affection and love shown to us by you, our loyal fans. We're truly blessed. We do this for you and we love doing it, thanks doesn't really begin to express our gratitude.

We hope you share the warmth of home, the love of family and the company of good friends. May your 2012 be filled with light, love, laughter, health and peace.

Merry Christmas to you one and all!

Pete's Euro Tour Blog - Loreley Saturday June 25th 2011

My eyes open, I see daylight peeking through the curtains. I check the time. It's 7.30am. I try to get back to sleep and doze fitfully until Adrian calls to inform me it's 10am at 9.50am. We meet in a coffee shop and leave Koblenz for Loreley. My satnav has never even heard of the place so we'll have to keep up with the others and go in convoy. After going back and forth over the same bridge a few times we're on our way. Wow, it's so...  Read more...

Pete's Euro Tour Blog - Travel day Monday June 13th 2011

It's all Wasser off a duck's back...

Woke about about 8.30am and decided I'd go down and have some breakfast.  Two poached eggs (cooked to perfection) on toast and bacon, a couple of cups of coffee - €10. I wonder what JK would think...  We're meeting at midday in the lobby, dropping off the hire cars and straight to the airport to check in.  We check in using those self-service machines and I swear it takes twice as long.  We're finally good to go and it's off to get something to eat.  I've found some free wi-fi, so a quick post on Twitter so you know we're safe and sound, and check email.  It's a lovely sunny day now in Dublin.  I'm hoping it stays this good here all the rest of the week (find out why later)...   Read more...

Pete's Euro Tour Blog - Belfast Sunday June 12th 2011

Sunday June 12th 2011
Woke up not exactly full of the joys of spring, probably due to being full of Budweiser the night before.  We set off about midday, it's just Richard and me travelling together.  The hire car has seen better days, that's for sure, and has an annoying tendency for a "fasten seatbelts" warning to flash on a screen and beep continually even with all the seatbelts fastened.  We arrive at the venue about 2pm, it's another huge arena.  We head into catering and time for some more soup.  I'm not sure what it is but it's another winner, lots of coriander, yummy.  Journey and Foreigner's soundchecks are...  Read more...

FM Tour Diary: Pete's Europe Tour Blog - Dublin O2 Arena - 11 June 2011

Saturday June 11th 2011
Woke up about 8.30am, didn't sleep that well, kept waking up during the night, but feel refreshed.  As we're flying Ryanair again luggage is kept to a minimum to avoid surcharges.  I thought I wasn't bringing any hand luggage until, on leaving the minibus last night Steve asked "Whose is this?" holding up my carry-on case.  Marvellous!  I'm flying with a case containing a toothbrush, toothpaste and a roll-on deodorant.  Now that's what I call travelling light.  I get a call from Adrian, breakfast's included.  Rich and I head down, it's a decent buffet-style affair, splendid.  We walk across the road to the airport terminal.  If you're ever looking for a hotel close to Liverpool Airport, then Hampton by Hilton is the one.  We go straight to security.  Mr Overland goes through and then forgets to pick up his bag containing...  Read more...

More live dates announced for the summer in Dublin, Belfast and Lisbon

We've added three more dates to our summer touring schedule for this year and are very excited to confirm 2 more shows with Journey and Foreigner in June (Dublin and Belfast) plus in July we'll be appearing in Portugal with D-A-D.

It's 25 years since we played in Dublin with Foreigner at the RDS Arena - it'll be great to be back there with them and Journey, and the Belfast concert will be a welcome return for us following a great gig at the Spring & Airbrake last summer.

The Lisbon show will be our first there since our 'Aphrodisiac' tour in 1993!  We're really looking forward to catching up with everyone.

More info on these dates available on our Live page.
