Post tour… pre 2010
Kicking back after the tour, we’re all getting back into the normal swing of things. What a wicked tour it’s been! Just thinking it over now and I can safely say we are darn pleased with the whole thing. Very happy indeed. All gigs were top- big and happy crowds, great venues and sweet, sweet music. All about you people at the gigs. Big love.
Being on the road this time around was improved immeasurably by the presence of two guys, a.k.a. ‘Team PQ’, who deserve a special mention- Jules McBride (tour manager and spiritual guru) and Harry Bishop (soundman and a very sound man). These two were indispensable and both have taught us a lot. If you’re reading Jules and Harry- all the love and bring on the next run!
So, many thanks again to all who came out to support us and made each show so great. Bristol, Basingstoke, London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Middlesborough, Birmingham, Brighton, Norwich, Colchester, Cambridge, Liverpool and Nottingham. Up and down the country… in concert halls and clubs… it’s been great to meet you all and collaborate in music. See you again on our Spring tour 2010…
So what next? A Martini and a foot spa sure, but what after? Well, we’re all keen to get tinkering on new material (Duncan has just discovered the weird and wonderful joys of contact micing his drum kit) and so we’ll be setting up camp in the studio at the bottom of our garden and getting busy. And 2010…. The year is shaping up proper tasty with the international release of Isla (WOOP WOOP) and at least 5 or 6 tours across Europe, USA and beyond. Bring it. First of all though is a run of gigs in Australia in early Feb. Yes and yes.
One Love. Merry Xmas Over and out.
