Southampton II

Another beautiful sunny day and a shock to see the size of the place we are playing. The Guildhall is a massive high ceilinged place that looks much bigger than its 2000 capacity. We had been warned that ticket sales had been a slow here so were a little wary. The fact that two photographers turned up to photograph us with a guy from Queensland who had travelled half way around the was enough on its own to make the evening memorable but walking out on stage to find the place full and the audience well up for it was unexpected (although not as unexpected as the four brassieres that landed on stage during the encore. Thanks girls.).
