2005

The worldwide release year of *Beyond Elysian Fields*, and of the *A Multitude of Sins* autobiography. A long UK "Electric" club tour ran February–April, ending with a three-night stand at Islington Academy (a different set each night), followed later in the year by a run of larger UK venues in November (Royal Albert Hall, Cardiff), then a full December run as support on Blondie's UK/Ireland arena tour, from Blackpool through to Belfast.
