His latest tour will culminate with an appearance at the International Motorcycle Convention in Portugal. Harris says: "As fans know, I have strong ties with the Portuguese Moto Clube through our mutual friend Manu DaSilva, now sadly departed, who for many years ran Maiden's Eddie's Bar in Santa Barbara de Nexe near Faro.

"The first ever British Lion show we played was in the Clubhouse itself. When they invited us back this year, to play at the same festival Maiden headlined in 2011 in memory of Manu, it provided the perfect opportunity to schedule a few shows beforehand."
