Panensky Tynec…near Prague… Czech!
A nice early start in Budapest saw a bleary eyed Faithless fall out of the mini vans and stumble onto a little Czech airlines propeller plane…
…Where 1 hour and ten minutes later, and 277 miles, they found themselves in Prague!
Whilst waiting for the luggage Maxi thought he’d pass the time by doing his core exercises…
…Sudha gave him a hand…
…
It was a very rainy day in Prague and the general consensus was to catch up on a few hours sleep…
…after unloading all the luggage…
…whilst Sudha blended seamlessly into the background…
…
The band reconvened downstairs at 7 for some dinner and then it was time to head off to the Open Air Festival at Panensky Tynec airfield…
…
As soon as they arrived, Maxi and Blissy were whisked straight off to the press tent for an open audience questions and answers session…!!
…and a couple of pictures…
…
…
Then Blissy had to rush back to the dressing rooms so she could chat live, via Skype, to the BBC’s Newsnight programme back in London!
Who laboured the point that they were talking to her from “they’re exclusive backstage luxurious dressing rooms”…!!
…the corner of a cold tent, in the middle of a wet and windy airfield is not by any means luxurious…
…
…
…
…
The gig was windy and rainy but fantastic…
Never have such a wet crowd of people been seen expressing themselves like at the Open Air Festival…
A beautiful sea of different brightly coloured raincoats/kagools…!

Afterwards, a fine rendition of Happy Birthday was sung to Dave Randall… …for obvious reasons…
…
A mixture of exhaustion and excitement filled the air the following morning, as it dawned on the entire 24 person Faithless contingent that there were a full 5 days off to look forward to…!
…
Then it was back to the ‘who can stay sane while waiting for a plane’ game…
“I reckon he might crack soon…”
…

…
Jo lost.
