Down Under Tour Update in Brief
Tue 11 Feb 2003

This is the first chance I've had to update you on our downunder tour so far. It's gone even better than we had dared hope. What a start - GILLES and myself completely 'smashed it' at AUCKLAND's Domain with over 20,000 Kiwis turning out on a beautiful Waitangi Day afternoon - absolutely 'off da hook'!!

Still dazed and jetlagged we made it to MELBOURNE's St Kilda Festival for our 2nd show two days later - again it was a similar story - a happy vibe throughout albeit with much less people. It was a slow start due to the excessive heat and the NO ALCOHOL restrictions imposed on our arena (can you believe that?) - Still by the end of the evening - the place was packed and jumping - Excellent!

We've just arrived in SYDNEY - It's really hot and there is a MASSIVE buzz surrounding our gig this coming saturday - It looks like another sellout in the park - can't wait! They are screening the Good Times movie here tonite to a specially invited audience and Gilles and myself have to attend a Q&A session with local dj's and music industry bods afterwards - should be fun. Don't worry though - there will be a FULL tour report plus some very interesting and EMBARRASSING pictures when I return.

Meanwhile, Mr Peterson has been completely out of control (musically) since we arrived here (can anybody help? - please?) and I'm at my wits end trying to keep him in check! Ha Ha (LOL) It's ALL good here - speak soon!
