But despite the announcement, some fans were disappointed more dates weren't added, forcing Lister to respond on Facebook. He said: "We would love to play everywhere but the reality is it just isn't always possible. Whether it's because the venues don't have a workable slot or any other number of reasons, it isn't because we've made a conscious decision not to play somewhere.

"We appreciate you sticking by us and allowing us to continue being a band. Rest assured, we'll do our best to come back and visit any and all of the hamlets and settlements in the new year.
