After the last show. The cast and crew in the hotel bar. We’re going to miss these guys. We had a great show and at the end played “Being boring” as a tribute to Dainton with film of him projected behind us.

Soundcheck at Brixton Academy this afternoon: Bic Hayes, Mark Refoy, Pete Gleadall and Dawne Adams. Nice to be back with the old “Release” tour posse.
