Hotel Tired But Well Located, Milan.
Very hot today, and this evening.
Soundcheck: a lot of time fine-tuning the drum monitoring. The Sidney Smith, of Toxic Tome notoriety, and John Kimber arrived from England for a Crim Weekend Break, at significantly less cost than had they caught a train to Wales.
Soundscapes: a flash before even the first note. The show was mixed, with a mainly generous audience who seemed to be wilting in the heat. There were flashes at the end, so I left the stage as the photocall got underway.
