Here’s Ben with a round-up on a great day in Florida… and some bad puns. “Since the first snowy stop in Boston the excitement had been growing about the potential for a bit of seaside fun in Florida, and when we finally arrived yesterday it didn’t disappoint. After landing in…

Deep South, Deep Fried

Correspondent Kate blogs from Jackson, MS “Our editor, in his wisdom, has attempted to ban any more references to food, since this blog seems to be turning into a culinary critique, but I’m afraid I will have to disobey straightaway and tell you all about our fantastic meal in Jackson, MS. The Mississippi Academy of…

One night in the home of Honky Tonk – an update from one car as the convoy hurtles down the freeway… After a civilised getting-up time this morning we picked up two hire cars from Cincinnati airport, in order to head to Nashville.

Sunny Cincinnati

Emma blogs on a successful return to Cincinnati! “Today started, well, yesterday. After a less-than-ideal travel day we eventually reached the Garfield suites hotel at 1.15am. After the most welcome night’s sleep of the tour so far, we were treated to a fabulous brunch of bacon, eggs, pastries and fruit salad in Kate and Becky’s…

Unexpected Pentagon Visit

Ben looks back on a long trip to Cincinnati “The day started well enough…. … but took a turn for the worse. No tour would be complete without at least one day where the travel plans cascade in front of us like a line of dominoes. It only takes one slight delay to a flight…

Noo Yoik

Katie’s foody foray “One thing that never disappoints when we tour to the USA is the food. From enormous pepperoni pizzas to racks of BBQ ribs, clam chowder in Boston to ‘grits’, the savoury corn-based porridge popular in the mid-Western and Southern states, there is always something to surprise even the most well-travelled of tastebuds….

Celebrating a Fabulous 50th

Becky blogs in Boston “Our first full day of the tour saw us celebrate our fiftieth concert in the US! We awoke to brilliant sunshine and blue skies – well, most of us woke first in the very early hours of the morning, as the day was beginning back at home, but managed to doze off…

Cinema in the Sky

London to Boston: a round-up from Ben, and a few words from Stile Antico’s in-flight film critics “As big travel days go, yesterday was pretty good. We breezed through Terminal 5, British Airways delivered us on time and no one was interrogated by a border officer on arrival. For most of us, the one redeeming…

At Home with Thomas Ashby Vann

Florida is nothing compared to Helen’s little ray of sunshine! “While the others are jetting off stateside I’m sadly going to be left at home holding the baby. Literally. Thomas was born on the 6th of February so he’s exactly a month old today, and we thought that might be a little early to inflict…

The Phoenix flies again!

Kate shares some thoughts on the programme we’ll be performing. “On this tour, for the first time ever on a States trip, we will be taking just one programme – The Phoenix Rising. It is always a real pleasure to repeat the same programme in different venues, especially when it is packed full of some…

Two Days and Counting…
