Playing Isle Of Wight festival with This Feeling was such a great experience; loads of great new bands and playing to a big crowd that were buzzing for something new.

Nambucca in London is always a great gig. Good vibes all round.

Watch it. The other night we got back from a gig late to our hotel and the film Goldeneye had just started, what a film!
