[kj] 2012 Tour dates

[Chris Williamson]

The very same.  The South Hams is quite a beautiful part of the country.
 
Salcombe has become a bit of a 2nd home owners town and is therefore deserted during the winter months which is a real shame, but during the summer there's quite a lot going on.
 
Modbury is just plain nuts!
