West End Live Leicester Square Sunday 21st June


Well I have just got home after finishing the bottle of Veuve Clicquot we ordered at All Bar One in Leicester Square after our gig. The show went off VERY well - have just posted up a load of pics on our flickr site-www.flickr.com/theredstripeband.com
but above is one pic of me with the compere for the day - Mr Christopher Biggins.
The square was packed and we did a great rendition of Caldonia to open up - we were the first band on for the day - previous presentations were by the West End Shows like Jersey Boys , Thriller etc
We had a half an hour slot. The most poignant memory for me was the homeless girl who I recognise from Soho standing in the front row. Every night she sleeps in a different doorway and is heavily into crack. She was waving like mad in the front row and looking straight at me. I couldn't ignore her.
All in all a great day and my meeting after the show with Omar from the biggest entertainment agency in India went well - so perhaps we will be on our way to India soon........
