Hey Levellers! Haven't checked the digest too much lately, but I haven't noticed a report on the Bratislava gig. Here's mine. Mark & C played after three (yes, 3!) other bands in the closure evening of the Bratislava jazz festival. I only saw two of those, and E.S.T. from Sweden was a very pleasant surprise. The place was packed full, with a mixed seating-standing arrangement. Very young audience for a jazz festival. From the enthusiasm of the crowd you could see that Slovakians haven't experienced too many such events in history. Three cheers for the audience, as they were the best I've seen (equalling Groningen's). The band came in around 22.30 (that's 10.30 pm in the UK), and stayed until well over midnight. The sitting crowd disappeared at their coming, turning into a giant dancing and clapping mass. Really awesome, and you could see Mark enjoyed it. I was with another Italian friend (who asked me for a CD after the gig!)and we hooked up with a couple of Slovakian girls, who were literally trembling after the show. They especially liked Sean's and Gary's performance, which isn't hard to explain since both of them were astounding. Mark was in great shape too, and Nathan and Lyndon played their role well. The gig was perhaps the best I've seen after the 2001 Jazz Cafe one. The song list is below for your convenience (nothing new in there). My personal favourite was Running in the Family, closely followed by Follow Me and The Sunbed Song (that drums bit still makes me stand in awe). The gig was really energic, the acoustics good (though a bit too much echo from the back when you danced :o), the crowd fantastic (it was hard to send them away after the encore) and the setting good (though the giant screen failed for a half hour while L42 were playing). All in all, a very well spent 300 euros - yeah, that's what the trip cost, including transport (long live SkyEurope!), gig tickets, accommodation, food, beers and a bit of shopping. Cheers, mac Song list: Heaven in my hands To be with you again Micro Kid Follow me Leaving me now World Machine A Physical Presence Living it up - Starchild combo Running in the family Lessons in Love Something about you --- (encore) Bass solo (very good by the way) The Sunbed Song Hot Water
