Bryan said the following in October to the press while on tour in USA: "They've been really terrific audiences, great reaction. I'm very pleased. The American audience is really into music, they appreciate all the solos and the nuances of the show. We're talking about coming back in March and doing all the places we missed." I think though judging by the facebook comments that this won't happen now. J.O'B.
