Thank you Helena,
I must say our tour of europe was a bit of a roller coaster ride.The turn out of the crowds are really down to how well imformed people are about the gigs.We had a different promoter for every town.We kind of knew it would be hit and miss but anyone who came to our shows showed the most enthusiasm.The main cities like berlin,amsterdam,and copenhagen were well advertised,so had the best turnouts.So was flensburg(I was suprised at how many punks and white rasta's i saw in a place so remote).Altogether we did 7 brilliant shows.Koln and Frankfurt were the poorest turnouts(different promoter next time)but we had to go out there eventually to test the waters(Considering we have already cancelled a couple of european tours already,if we did'nt go out this time,we may never have).The travelling from gig to gig seemed everlasting and took alot out of us,but was worth it when we got to see all those thankful,smiling faces in the audiences.Most of the promoters really looked after us well,and the ones that worked on it really got results.As a 1st european tour,i have to say that it was a success.There are still many hurdles to jump and we are clearing them.I look forward to going out there again next year.
