There was a fantastic buzz when we arrived at the fabulous London O2 yesterday, and great to catch up with pals Rick Wakeman and the Marillion guys backstage. Several interview followed with a Q&A session hosted by Jerry Ewing in front of a tightly packed crowd before the gig itself...

It was terrific to play to such a huge cosmopolitan crowd which raised the roof of the futuristic spaceship-like venue... The band including Roger King, Nad Sylvan, Gary O'Toole, Rob Townsend, Nick Beggs and Amanda Lehmann really caught the moment and played like a bunch of demons freshly unleashed from Hell... Ben Fenner's sound mixing and Tigger's lighting were equally stunning and the crew worked their socks off. I was hugely proud of the whole team!

A great night had by all...
