Due to a failed attempt to carry rather a lot of a certain "liquid' onto a plane, Shamus didn't quite make it to Hong Kong for the soft launch of the album. However several hundred thirsty punters made up for his absence, by drinking a huge amount of the alcohol laid by gracious hosts, Yumla, and abused Shamus in London by instant messages. Thanks to Dan and Pat at Yumla for making it all happen.
