Great second show at Hammersmith last night with many friends and guests including Kylie Minogue and Tim Rice-Oxley from Keane. Fantastic audience but, at 105 decibels, not as loud as Manchester or Wolverhampton! Tonight in Swindon is the last night of the UK tour (although there’s still the Eden Project and Newmarket later on in the summer). Neil x
