I don't think Dave Tregunna will be on board for any US tour if it ever 
happens even though he and Brian are great friends and obviously enjoy 
playing together.  From what I understand, there's some sort of long 
standing visa issues with Dave preventing him from entering the US. Last 
Summer, I brought up such a tour with Brian's manager and he indicated that 
they'd have to probably go with a couple different musicians (although he 
didn't say which musicians would be "replaced") for any North America tour. 
I do know that Dave's visa problem was one of the problems that scuttled the 
ill-advised Lords of the New Church US "reunion tour" in 2002.
