Hi Steve, haven't come across him before. I know that 'FBR' is a favourite of yours. Enjoyed both of these. Will keep an eye out for him in the future.

Hopefully catch up in Montreal. You too Janet!

Oops! a couple of tickets for this seem to have been purchased on my credit card. Just the small question of flights and accommodation now...
