After Brighton

Brighton was our last show of this UK tour and it was extra special, we had most of the amazing Brighton based choir from the Theatre Royal show join us again for Future Boy and State of things, Pete Lawrie and his band also joined us for Underdog and the whole evening felt like a massive release, it was one of those hot sweaty nights where the air is filled with electricity, to look out into the crowd and see couples kissing, people crying and others beaming and singing along with all their hearts was mind blowing! We never expect such passionate reactions but on this tour we've had more than our fair share.

There are way to many highlights to start listing but whats been very interesting is how different every show felt, in the old days when we had a MASSIVE crew and entourage around us it sometimes seemed like Groundhog day but every show now seems to have it's own distinct identity which adds so much life to the whole touring experience.

Making the transition from buzz band filling large venues with relative ease to finding a new smaller and essential way forward is the ultimate test but I really feel it suits us and the fans of the music, we hope to be able to continue like this for a long time to come....

Anyway now we have to get back to work, getting ready for Europe and then the USA,

Until we see you all again thank you, you know who you are ;)
