The choir was a stroke of genius. Almost like a gospel choir in the way they lifted the songs into a whole new orbit. Sonap and me had to decompress afterwards because we came out of the gig high. Minds blown.

On tram. Butterflies. Is it possible to have stage fright when I'm only in the audience? Cherry vodka. Lots of it.

Mitre hotel (full of Frappers for MIF gig) aka GMB HQ
Mitre Hotel is in the Millennium Quarter next to Harvey Nicks and has a large open area out front which we can all sunbathe in (opposite the Wellington, 17th Century pub)

Sparky I like the way in your accident the sky and the path to the beach look dead icy I meant to say that before. Cheers - it's funny, it was actually quite hot and stormy. The filter is a bit wintery, but it makes the clouds pop so I kept i…
