Vessels

Tonight was the last show, and I’d like to say that it was a complete mega blowout to end the tour – but things never work out like that. Once again the venue, the promoter, the food, the sound rig etc etc etc were utterly immense, and there must have been nearly a hundred people there to watch us headline the show, but the fatigue of the week (or perhaps the beginnings of a sense of complacency) had set in and our performance, in my opinion, just wasn’t up to scratch. Nonetheless, the crowd seemed to enjoy it, called us back for an encore and gave us some fairly humbling feedback at the end of the night – after which we rolled wearily back to the apartments we were staying in, and tried to get as early a night as possible in advance of tomorrow’s 20 hour marathon drive.

And thus concludes the first ever tour of mainland Europe – 7 shows, 5 Jovis and two half Jovis, countless new friends, places experiences, and at times more laughter than I could physically cope with…. Roll on October, when we plan to do it all again……
