Hi All - It was an amazing night! Sorry to all those who couldn't get in to the show - we sold out very early on & as music fans we've suffered through too many horrbly packed gigs to want to inflict that on anyone else. I had a great time playing with David Kilgour & we even did a number with Chris. There was lots of footage shot which I'll post on the site as soon as I get a copy. (The TV3 website has some footage and there are some clips on the Launch Party Page).

Chris had a fabulous night and stayed til the end - merrily swaying away with his friends to Shayne's set of past songs (& even a Gordons cover!). There was so much love for him there.

Big thanks to Trilby who was one of the major stars of the event. And thanks to Neil & Sharon, Don, David, Shayne, Graeme, Sean & all their bandmates - we hope you had a blast.

All the best

Rod Merkin

PS There's been some teething problems with digital downloads which I apologise for but it should all be fixed now - here's the soluition from the guys at Amplifier for those affected -

"It has been bought to our attention that due to a technical issue the
audio for the first 9 tracks of disc 2 of Stroke on the iTunes Store was
incorrect.  This problem has now been corrected.  For those of you who
purchased Stroke through iTunes you can re-download the correct audio by
following these instructions:

*    When you receive your invoice for the purchase, the album will
be listed on there.
*    Click the "Report a Problem" link that is associated with the
affected tracks / album.
*    This will take you through to a web page where you can initiate
the re-download. "

PS ...... Ahhh Barry - you should have come over!
