It's playing a bit jumpy on our computers at the moment, how's it playing for you guys? I think I'm gonna get Timmy to replace it with a better version tomorrow. Thannks again Timmy.
While I'm at it, I want to hijack this note to give thanks to all our clowns and crew from the Glasto run:
Craig and Charlie, amazing stage managers with nerves of steel. YOU RULE!
Timmy and Nathan for all the live video feed and great footage.
To Tom for being beat perfect on every sound cue, even when it went wrong.
To our wonderful clowns who snarled, sneered, grimaced, yelled, clapped, swept up, humped gear and made the whole stage come alive:
Alex who hobbled on with a bad knee and chopped wood ferociously,
Alice who got stuck in the badlands for hours,
Amanda the most helpful 'sploded clown ever
Lydia and her sewing machine, dreams of rissotto, and her amazing sneer,
Olly and his incredible painting skills,
Toby tossing prone bodies around like a big clown butcher
Valerie for being so sweet and bendy.
To Siena for being a one-woman PR machine
To Lady Lucie for joining the circus by default
To Gemma for costuming the clowns so magnificently and her makeup skills
To Pete for the accordion playing, you were fantastic (sorry the song we wrote was so naff)
To Monkey for all the paint and paper mache
To Jake for helping write the naff song, you did just what i asked xx
To Nathan for tinkling those ivories.
To Leila for her painting and sweetness
To Jade Dunbar for inviting and looking after us, even if you were scarier than all the clowns
To James for the pretty lights and making us look good
To all our friends who managed to drag their arses to the Big Top to see the show (some of you EVERY NIGHT)
To everyone who bought a T-Shirt (yes, we have T-shirts and will be selling them online soon. will keep you posted here)
