Amsterdam, Holland 

Oh dear! After a very late night on the bus ironing all of my 
underwear ;-) I thought I'd have a nice sleep in……not to be!! 
The air-con on the bus was up the creek, and I found myself sweating in 
my bunk from parts of my anatomy that I didn't know could sweat! 

It wasn't bad though, as, again, it was such a lovely day, that it would 
be a shame to waste it. After a mighty fine shower we were ready to 
explore. Amsterdam is a great city, and because it was Queens Day 
(That relates to the royal family might I add!) there was a fantastic 
party vibe in the air. It was quite different from anything I've ever 
experienced…….the streets were buzzing with people enjoying themselves, 
and there wasn't even a sniff of violence in the air. 

We we're playing at the Paradiso, which is a beautiful converted church, 
and an amazing venue. We were part of the ‘London Calling' feature, 
which is a showcase for new British talent. The room was full when we 
took the stage……a good 1200 people. We really enjoyed it , and the venue, 
the lights and the crowd helped make it a really great night. The gig was 
filmed so keep your eyes peeled for a sample of it on the website 
somewhere. 

After the show we enjoyed the delights of a city in celebration until the 
early hours of the morning!!
