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.

Our performance of “West End girls” will be on the Channel 4 “Keane Curates For War Child” show tonight at 11.50 pm (in spite of sound recording problems which Channel 4’s engineer has tried to deal with). Neil x

Visited the new (and old) St Pancras Station today. This is now where we get trains to Paris and Europe from. The building is magnificent but who commissioned the kitsch sculpture which greets you when you arrive from abroad? It’s ghastly! Neil x

Chris took part in a Radio London tribute to Dainton the other night. So did Mandy, Dainton’s wife. Click on the link to hear it: “Denton: Tribute to Arsenal’s legendary fan”.

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.
