Ed Bicknell came round to look and play the new kit. It sounded better than I had expected. Our mutual friend Jenny Demetri sent me my favourite biscuits(Duchy Originals)and waved to me from her balcony as she lives opposite our hotel. Olivia was over for a few days promoting her new album, so we met up for coffee and a chat.

Shakin' Stevens came in to hear the band as he was rehearsing next door and Peter Lyster-Todd came to the hotel for a drink and we talked about future projects.

We did our final run through on Saturday the 9th and that was it.

Our equipment was packed and went on the ferry for the long journey to Finland. The weekend was spent packing and planning the travel arrangements. 38 days on the road, almost back to back with the odd day off for travelling.
