Living In This City

The Trick of the Light tour was simply the weirdest tour that ever happened. We would turn up in a city chosen at random, announce a venue and appear that evening in front of an unbelieving crowd. The entourage then moved on and repeated the process a few days later in another city. The organisation and logistics were challenging to say the least. Sometimes we stayed in fans homes because hotels couldn't be booked in time. Sometimes we slept in the trucks used to transport the equipment. Some nights we even camped out and slept under the stars.

But one thing for sure, it was exciting and a huge amount of fun. When venues couldn't be arranged,we put on free shows in abandoned commercial buildings or on derelict land and parking lots. A couple of times we were actually arrested for trespassing and contravening health and safety regulations. So at times it got a bit scary, but it was fantastic to be part of the experience - reminiscent of the hippie days of the 1960's and a real rock and roll road show.

Arlenderre

Arlenderre is the complete antithesis of everything that contemporary music culture stands for. He has no management or recording contract. He doesn't sell music or merchandise. He doesn't appear on TV, video or radio, but he tours extensively and has a massive cult following. He is absolutely passionate about his fans and won't have them exploited. He is a leading light in Britain's new underground movement where artistes and musicians have abandoned the charade of today's corporate music industry and refuse to take part in the mockery that it's become.
