I'm Paul from Norwich and this post is primarily addressed to other UK fans.
For the reasons put forward by Bru, John and Char, Gord is unlikely to tour here. But don't let that be the end to it. Why not fly over to see him?
OK, it's not cheap. I went to Toronto in 2001, 2005 and 2006. The concerts at Massey were unbelievable and meeting my absolute hero was a dream come true. The band and Mr Fiedler have been really friendly. Last time, I even got to meet Red Shea. Toronto has become my favourite city to visit and Canadians are so hospitable.
But that is only part of it. I can't put into words how much I value the friendships I have made. Many post here or on the newsgroup, or both. It is a shame that Gord is unlikely to come to the UK, but in a way, that has been to my advantage. Before 2001, I wouldn't have imagined that I would have friends on this global scale.
I hope this encourages others to make the trip.
Paul
