Although the album led to one London date on 9 March 2001 followed by a short tour of Japan,[3] with Haslam, Dunford, Sullivan and Simmonds augmented by Rave Tesar (keyboards) and David J. Keyes (bass, vocals), Annie Haslam subsequently announced that the band was again disbanding.^{[citation needed]}
