We ended the tour on a high note at The MacBeth in East London, and club photographer SHARP ROCK (aka Peter Fingleton) was there to capture it. In addition to tour regulars – Lady Miss Kier, Shane Shane, Colin Self and Gio Black Peter – the fun-filled evening included performances from Jonny Woo, A Man To Pet, Bryony Kimmings, Alexander and Ernesto the Naked Poet.

Some club names are bland, some are funny, some are obscure. Then there’s Pussy Faggot.

It was definitely a tour highlight.
