Interesting show at the V Festival in Sydney last night. Our computers crashed at the end of “Integral” and the power for the lighting and video went down twice! That kept us on our toes. The fantastic audience made up for it though and made us feel really welcome. Unfortunately the shiny Dior tailcoat I wear at the end of the show went missing backstage. Seems like someone took a fancy to it… Or maybe it’ll turn up. Off to Brisbane. Neil x
