We’re now over the double jetlag and the lack of Harveys and able to report that we had a great time in Toronto. The gig went well and the band saw some good and not so good acts throughout the NXNE festival. We were especially impressed with the limbless keyboard player outside the chinese laundry who was busking some top Ibiza choons and the lady who was signing a calypso version of “Killing me softly…” into a carrot along Kensington. Less impressive was the “Russianmafiabaronclassicalmetal” outfit we witnessed at the Tattoo Rock Parlour, no-one should be allowed a leather effect harp, ever.

Thanks to the PRS foundation for assisting us with this venture and a big hi to Nitin Sawhney’s crew who we drank under the plane seats on the way over….
