We’re now in Auckland, New Zealand (where it’s raining). Anyway, looking forward to our first-ever show here tomorrow. We flew in from Chile across the International Date Line. As we left on Monday and arrived on Wednesday, we didn’t have a Tuesday. Strange feeling…

Tracey Thorn’s new album “Out of the Woods” is now available on iTunes where it includes a bonus track, her lovely version of “King’s Cross”, a song we wrote 20 years ago. Well worth 79 pence!
Production rehearsals have started for the next leg of the tour with a different stage design.
