Touching Stanley in Canada

Back in Canada again, only left the place three weeks ago! Toronto is a lot warmer than when I was here in January, when a huge snowstorm hit the city on the night of my show. Last night was a great start to this tour and I love playing Hugh’s Room, a great venue to come and listen to music. I put a new song in the set called ‘how did we end up here’, which went down great. I played for 2 hours and 25 minutes and slept well. Earlier in the day, trying to shrug off jet lag, Chris (tour manager) and I walked a few miles around the city. The highlight of this for me was visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame where I got to touch the Stanley Cup, which is kind of the FA cup of football only more important. Canada won the world championships in the city a few nights ago, whereas back in Cardiff the Devils beat Nottingham 3-2 in there opening game of the season!
