May I first apologise for being so late with this year's diary.
I have been out of the country working on other projects and have
only just completed my journals from our European tour. It is by
no means as comprehensive as last year's notes and you will understand
why as you read through. Nevertheless, although it's short, I hope
you enjoy some of the stories and photos. I always enjoy getting
your feedback through the various Shadows sites, so thank you for
that, it is appreciated.

Ivor Novello award.
Monday 28th March
The week of the 28th was spent preparing
for the tour. I was still working on the new kit and Warren
was programming some magnificent sounds for his new keyboard.
Also that week, I was asked to be on the panel of judges for
this year's Ivor Novello Awards and Hank was due in from Perth
at the weekend. Bruce came over on the Friday with Mark to
go over the set list with Warren. We only have five days to
rehearse next week so time was tight.
