Okay, we're paraphrasing Ned Ryerson (sp?) from Groundhog Day, but the sentiment is still kinda the same. It's Miguel's last night at the beautiful Zuri this Wednesday 25th February and to celebrate we thought we'd compile a list of things we've learned or just points of interest from our time there:
1. It is definitely, definitely a good idea to have a burlesque dancer and pin-up queen at your album launch. For many, many reasons
2. It's a good idea to carry a flashlight at all times.
3. Disabled toilets can be like the tardis from Doctor Who. The one at Zuri houses, in no particular order, the band, the staff in their black and red can-can outfits - and sometimes just the outfits, our gear, our guest dancer, our manager, our stuff, about seven million rolls of carpet, cleaning products, a huge antique mirror and oh, so much more.
4. Zuri know exactly how much to put on Miguel's bar tab to make sure that the band make it back on stage for the second set. We are grateful for this. And for the bar tab.
5. Gramophones and hat boxes make excellent merch kits.
6. There are far, far too many versions of the martini to make your way through in just one residency. But still really only one martini.
7. Our sound engineer, Mark Smith, is excellent at navigating his way around a huge heart made of balloons. This could come in handy when touring Germany.
8. People need at least three drinks in them to start dancing.
9. Michael's 'edit' hand gesture usually indicates he's not editing what he's saying at all.
10. It can be difficult to get a bar full of people to sing along, but they're very happy to act like pirates.
Come on down for our final night!
