Arrived in Berlin 5 hours ago. We’ve had a couple of great nights – starting to hit our stride with the new sound & show. Relaxing more & having fun with it. Stayed with Anja for a couple of wild days (left yesterday). Every waking moment one of us, including Simon our photographer, would either be in make-up or a photo-shoot. So many shots taken. Unbelievable. Anja was an amazing & generous host who also fed us & kept us loaded on coffee. She came to the show with a couple of friends in Suhl on Tuesday. It feels like weeks ago…

It’s a big one tonight at Hard Rock Cafe in Berlin. Big venue, huge sound. We finished sound-check at midday (10am start) – after a 4 hour drive from the last city early this morning, waking at some ungodly hour. We hit the hay at 3am after last night’s show. Tired & going to sleep before it all happens again tonight. The expected tour-groundhog-day syndrome in full swing.

Fires out.
