Tomorrow we’ll be signing 500 copies of the limited edition… And also tomorrow we’ll have some more tickets to be won here and on our Facebook page for the launch event in Berlin next week. It’s all happening! Neil x

Polly and Sophie Duniam acting glum this morning in Stavanger because the Pandemonium tour had its final performance last night at the Rått og Råde festival and they’ve been in it since the beginning. It was meant to finish two years ago but other dates kept being requested. We’re planning a new tour production which will begin (probably) in South America next February. Neil x
