Cheers Andy.
Although it's extremely nice that people are/were concerned for me and my family, the long term rammifications of the earthquake in Christchurch is Meats possible tour here.
He's only ever been known to go to 3 places when here, Auckland, Wellington & Christchurch. Since Auckland & Wellington are on the North Island and Christchurch is on the South Island, if the Christchurch gig is cancelled due to the earthquake, I'm kinda stuffed at best. Also there is the possibility that if he can't play in Christchurch then he might scrap New Zealand tour altogether.
