I don't remember a gig that I would have enjoyed this much. I love being on stage, have done a good few shows in the past, but this simply felt quite alright. The band was truly amazing, Phil Davison has made a special dress for me to wear, David Cuesta did his magic with video projections...audience was great. So here also, I want to say thanks to Chris Redmond for inviting me and also to everyone else who has made it so special for me. Thank You!
