Homer Simpson Guides Steve Kaufman Around the UK

Steve Kaufman currently on tour in the UK says it was his choice so that he could get used to to the left hand driving. According to Steve, “It worked out well.”  In reality it was Homer Simpson’s voice on Steve’s Tom-Tom GPS unit, but that’s another story.

Steve says “I’m having a great time spreading plectrum dust across the UK. Two weeks in England, then one week in Ireland. Now in Scotland for the week".”

Fans can read all about it on Steve’s day-by-day UK 2011 blog at www.flatpik.com including photos.
