Back in the UK
I'm back in England now, after the triumphant finale of the (continental!) European leg of the tour at Antwerp. There are 6 more gigs, starting next Wednesday in London, so keep an eye on the blog for news of them.
I would just like to say a few quick thank-yous! First, to all the in-country coordinators who did a brilliant job, and welcomed me to their cities. Second, to the band and crew for their continuing support for the Make Trade Fair campaign. And finally, and most importantly, to the hundreds of wonderful wonderful volunteer campaigners all over Europe. I have some great memories, and hopefully will see you all soon.
And thanks to all of you for reading the blog and leaving your comments!

The diamond city
...and boy did they take that chance and run with it. And then run some more. At some points during the night it was difficult to know whether this was a Coldplay gig or a Make Trade Fair rally, such was the fervour created by the wonderful team in Antwerp.
Here's a few photos.

Groundhog Day
After the show in Paris, we hot-footed it to Antwerp...yep, the same place it all started 6 weeks ago. We were returning to Belgium for the final concert of this leg of the tour, and it was a bit wierd to be back there. The memories came flooding back - it was the first concert that I was at, and I remember standing around like a bit of a wally with my mouth wide open!
So you may have noticed that there has been a certain amount of competition between the volunteer campaigning teams in the different cities to collect the most sign-ups. And in Antwerp it was no different. Of course, the first Antwerp team were the inaguaral winners of the award (by default!), but slowly they were overtaken as the Coldplay Make Trade Fair bandwagon made its way around Europe. So returning to Antwerp gave the boys and girls at Oxfam in Belgium one final chance for glory...

Paris - city of style and fashion...
...and a suitably stylish campaigner to match.
