We are adding an extra touch to the festive season and without fully disclosing all of our plans let us just softly hint at what is coming with the following clues, hints and other clever ways to say that we are going on a tour without saying we are going on a tour even if we are going on a tour which we are.
The bags are packed. Mostly with equipment as is our custom, but also with clothes to protect the gear from damage. These clothes may be worn as well. A double whammy.
Passports are freshened up and looking fantastic!
Set lists have been written, memorised and discarded and that process has been repeated many times and yes, “Starling” might still be on the list.
Our colleagues and bosses have been notified and are done complaining about the loss of “the lights of the workplace”.
Tour bus is booked and they have again refused our demands for a fully stocked and staffed Mexican food buffet on the bus with an open flame grill. “Safety issues” they claim.
That is all we can disclose from HQ so far.
How should you prepare for the secret event coming up?
I suggest buying tickets for all the people you hold dear and treat them to a night of long songs filled with stories of absolute joy and wonder.
See you around Europe darlings. We shall finally meet again.
