Nice to be back in Belgium. Here’s an aerial shot of us on stage last night at the Lokerse Festival. Impressive! Special thanks to our crew for putting together a great production after some technical problems during the day.

We had a fantastic show at Warwick Castle last night, the last of the summer tour. We’re so lucky to tour with these wonderful people! And we’ll be getting back together in Japan in January. Thanks to everyone who came to one (or more) of our concerts this year. And of course thanks to our crew. Neil & Chris xx
