Montreux

What a festival! Famous for 42 years, we plyed twice to excellent crowds. Last night, despite a thunderstorm threatening to disrupt the outside stage area, the clouds parted long enough for our 75 minute set - which went down fantastically. Our audience wanted an encore - and when we didn't return to the stage (they were cheering and clapping) and when the organiser informed them we had finished, they started booing!! Awesome!

The festival was full of stunning artists - Roberta Flack was playing at the same time with the David Sandborn band and Tower of Power. Tonight, is Lenny Kravitz and tomorrow night is Chaka Khan and Herbie Hancock.

The grounds are full of bars, music, food stalls - and the most drop dead gorgeous looking people....the band was all starry eyed. It was a great couple of days and we parked up at the home of our NZ Consul General in Switzerland, who with her husband, spoilt us rotten! Off to have a meal cooked for us by a top Swiss chef then onto Brienz for a gig - and a special massage. Gee, not too shabby, eh??
