It’s just going to be a great run… Don’t miss it. See you there!”
“Thrilled to be doing this tour with Marco and Adrian,” Vinnie said. “Going to be a blast to play a couple UFO songs, as well as some of my tunes and some THIN LIZZY. This is going to be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to it. See you all soon”.
