Things are moving on after the accident at Grapevine. Apparently those who were injured have now left hospital. People at the festival report that Delirious? were around the next day, and had managed to put the memory behind them.

News of the accident received an incredible amount of attention in the media. Nearly every national newspaper in the UK, plus the BBC website, reported the accident. I've also seen news websites from as far away as America and Australia reporting the news. It is a shame that Christian events only get publicity when there is bad news to report. The publicity won't have done the Grapevine Festival's reputation any good, but if it results in other events double checking the safety of their seating and the prevention of a more serious incident taking place, then at least some good will have come from this.

So away from thoughts of the accident, Delirious? performed two excellent concerts at Greenbelt and Grapevine over the weekend, with people who attended the gigs saying that the Delirious? live show is back at it's very best. Good news for those of us looking forward to the World Service UK Tour in October.

September looks like being a month mainly concentrated on Germany, with one festival appearance in the country (SWR3 New Pop Festival) and a concert in nearby Switzerland, both coming up in a few weeks time. Also in Germany, J-Star Records are due to release the new Delirious? single 'Every Little Thing' on 13th Sept, so expect more news on that later this month.
