When I saw you a couple of weeks ago, what really struck me was the complete absence of a glockenspiel. You were also quite light in the tubular bells department. Apart from that, all you're missing is the string quartet ...

Sounds fantastic, Clarky! Are you glad or regretful that you couldn't do all the dates?

I am not sure my problem liver would thank me had I done all the dates! Je ne regrette rien, or whatever

[BigRedX]

Sounds like you had a great time. Always interesting to hear from people playing outside the UK.

Will you be going back for more?

We have been invited back to play a festival in Portugal in late August so looks likely

[BigRedX]

Excellent stuff!

[Linus27]

Great stuff Clarky, really happy you had a great time. Bet you are pleased you said stuff work and went now.

[ShergoldSnickers]

Any photos? There must be photos. Just a few? Any? Even One? Would love to see them if so.

Here's us on the Friday night at the Armazem do Cha in Porto with the promoter lady (guess which one she is? )
