Julianne On The Union Chapel
What a truly beautiful building. All stained
glass and sandstone and the highest of ceilings. Dark wood. Butterfly
stomachs. But these suckers were excited butterflies; butterflies
putting their make-up on and trying on different wings for a great
night out. My butterflies were out of their tiny insect minds.
But then they all seemed to relax and recline on small chaise
longues that I didn't even know my stomach housed.

No record company, no manager, no publisher, no press, no radio

. WE DID IT! (By the way, if any execs
of any large multi-national corporate beasts are reading this
and really really do want to give us lots of money to make an
album and buy matching yachts with, still feel free. Don't be
afraid to ask!).
So, the show itself
.. I could try to go
into a great long analytical thing about it, but I can't. All
I can say is that I was stood in the vortex of a twinkly, sparkly
spangled spiraling sonic smoky delicately thrashy twilight midnight
dreamworld. All I know is that, for me, and for my lovely fellow
Eves, that night was special. I personally felt that it made the
Royal Albert Hall look like a bingo hall. I have rarely been as
happy on stage as when we played Wishing The Hours Away and December
