Hi James, sounds like you made the most of your Europe trip with gigs
Model 500 was part of the TodaysArt Festival, on 21 September. Needless to say, absolutely fantastic. Magic Juan Atkins' band was joined by Mike UR Banks (who played in Galaxy2Galaxy just before the Model500 gig) on keys.
It was an evening of High Tech Jazz, Funk & Soul!!
