Faithless

After evil forces (i.e Air France), (and the horrible bus driver between terminals), (oh, and that really nasty customs woman at security), had tried their hardest to thwart Faithless’ journey to Lebanon, the somewhat victorious and extremely tired group of musicians landed safely in Beirut…

The crew had been set free yesterday after four and a half hours of captivity, which had (on the plus side) paved the way nicely for a warm welcome to the band, who were by now fully expected!

It was a matter of seconds before an adoring fan approached Maxi for a picture and an autograph …

…

With only a few hours until lobby call, it was straight to the hotel for a quick shower and a fleeting look at the panoramic views…

…

…

…before everyone met downstairs to go eat by the sea…

…

Harry was doing fine…

…and the rest of the band were reunited with the crew…

…

…

…

Following a fantastic feast of fine food, everyone boarded the mini-coach to head to the venue…

…along the way many Faithless billboards were spotted…

A game of ‘penny up’ kept the boys amused til showtime…

While Blissy had to make do with the limited space and the only available plug socket…

…(or was she just there giving Tommy some hair styling tips…!?)

…

(well done Sudha!)

…

…

…

…

…

…and it was off to the stage…

After an inspiring interaction with the beautiful Lebanese fans, LSK was getting creative on his i-phone…

…

…

Back to the hotel for a quick 5hrs sleep… and it was off to the airport again…

…

…a quick check-in and enough time to stop by Duty Free, where Stan acquired a couple of fez hats(turkish!?).

…

…

A quick cup of coffee and it was time to board the plane home for some well earned rest…

While exhausted by the hassle of the previous days travelling, everyone was sad to be leaving so soon, having spent such little time in such an amazing place.
