He says: "The years have flown by - and it feels great to see that the tooth of time has not diminished the value of the album. Several songs are still part of almost every gig.

"Although we've played them hundreds of times it's still exciting to see the sheer emotion evoked by, for example, the piano into of Black Winter Day." He adds: "Most of us have feelings about the 1990s that are brought back to mind by the songs, so we're certainly talking about nostalgia here."
