The forecast says...expect heavy sign-ups


It's a busy couple of days to end this section of the tour - we've got 3 concerts in 3 days. On Monday night, we were in Lyon at the Tony Garnier Hall - a huge warehouse of a venue. Apparently it's been many things in it's history beside a concert venue, most notably an abattoir! It was very cold on Monday night, inside and outside. But as usual, the campaigning team from Agir Ici rose to the challenge and managed to speak to just about everyone at the gig! By the end of the evening, nearly 1,300 people had joined the Make Trade Fair petition - great work!

Here's a photo of the stand at Lyon - evidence if ever I needed it that it's always a good idea to tell people when you plan to take a photo of them! We were in a prime location right opposite the front doors, so all 12,000 people at the gig saw us as they walked in.

Finally, thanks for the comments - it's great to hear your opinions, and ways to improve the blog. Keep them coming! But don't be shy. Perhaps next week we can set up a live webchat and really discuss properly the art of weather forecasting. Until then, a big smiley 'scorchio' to you all.
