Poland - Wroclaw - Club WZ
Day off: There was an incident! During our long drive from Budapest to Wroclaw, Chop pulled the bus over for a minute or two, just to check his way. During these precious moments Paul, our sound engineer, stepped off for a "call of nature". When he emerged he discovered that the bus had gone! In a panic he asked various other people for a mobile phone. Eventually a kind Polish guy gave him a lift in a van and the chase began. We were innocently sitting on the bus, completely unaware of the problem, until Clive received a call from England on his mobile (the only number Paul could remember that would in turn know Clive's number!), telling us that Paul wasn't on the bus. Chop managed to find a place to stop and within a few minutes and thanks to the guy in the white van, Paul was reunited with his team.

Things were running late this day and the gig was an early one, so there was very little time to set up. It was decided to miss out the video screens. There was a small, but incredibly enthusiastic audience. Definitely a fine example of quality not quantity. The guys on stage obviously had a great time.
