Ah, thanks Peter, now I understand about the dogs. They may be retired, but judging from Sunday night, they still remember how to chase a lump of fur, so Banshee had better watch out. For those trying to picture it, a white fluffy 'hare' was pulled across the stage to get the dogs to run from one side to the other - but at least one of the hounds had other ideas!

And another huge thanks to PG for the soundcheck (you know why). It was Finngirl's fault, she's a bad good influence Just kidding FG, your company was truly a pleasure this weekend

Loved the soundcheck, four songs from Time on Earth - English Trees had me in tears, something about that song and the experience just hit the spot.... it'll probably be that memory which will stick with me, great as the show itself was.

Did I spot one of the Finn sisters in the front row? There was a woman with a striking resemblance.

The Visitor - I reckon the CH set was about 2.15 - and good luck with the stage door, I didn't manage it on Sunday. Just as well I took a plastic bag to keep my programme in, because the floor was awash with beer by the time CH came on! The programme is gorgeous btw, hopefully I'll have another chance to get it signed.
