Set up the main systems

PG was not here today, so the band ran through the songs from yesterday, then looked at a few songs from 'So' that have not been played for a long time.

We then finished at 7 with the band, then our sound crew arrived to set up the main systems that will now be with us all the way through the tour.

Ben Findlay our front of house engineer who also is a great producer and studio engineer, came in with our monitor engineer Dee Miller.

Jeff Alison has been working all day finishing off the list of sounds and songs, he is very tired but is still managing to smile and make a few of his unusal jokes.

We are half way set up and have so much to do for a 2 pm full band run through tommorow.

Sleep time.
