  2. Thanks so much ! I was seeking this gigs for ages. The French guy at the end of "This can be Today" at the Hammersmith venue is me. We were late that night and I luckily met Steven Roback in the toilet stairs.(funny story I can tell) I told him we were french and broke without tickets. He checked my level of french for he believed I was some kind of an Italian. I proved my point and he generously made us through. I'll never thank him enough. This show was, as you can imagine, a great show.
