My Week on tour backing for Stevie Wonder, (Part 7).

So we are on the way to Glastonbury, I have had very little sleep over the past 72 hours, for obvious reasons, and I don't sleep well on coaches, let alone noisy ones, especially when England are playing Germany in the World Cup competition!


When I am tired I either go quiet, or really nutty. This time I went for the quiet mode, though I was at one point very actively engrossed in a conversation with Muyiwa from Riversongz, about Celebrity circles, business affairs and trying to maintain a level of integrity, with both of our backgrounds rooted in all three!


When we arrive, we get to briefly engage with some of the band, who I can recall watching a few times with Stefano in Italy last year, on the 'Live at last' DVD performance at the 02 arena. Once again the energy amongst the choral is electric, even despite England's dreadful exit of the World Cup.


Stevie goes on to perform and the show is even bigger this time. As we step on stage, the thing that blows me away is the sheer size of the audience. As far as I could possibly see, there were people, all crammed together might I add, and even still I am sure there were just as many there that I couldn't see!!
The performance was incredible and the high after the show was second to none! 
I am not sure which my favourite song of the set is, but it's a close call between 'Living in the City'and 'For once in my live'. I am convinced that Stevie's voice is even better live than on record!!
But even after the weight of the second night, the best night was yet come...


Find out why in part 8!!
