We’d love to say we’d had the usual Spiro mishaps at Real World (Jase falling in the lake and getting entangled with the swan, that kind of thing) but we’ve been so well looked after, we’ve all stayed dry, the best of friends, and out of trouble with the police. The wildest we got was getting a bit carried away with the wine during the Lightbox sessions, but (a slightly out of focus) Simon Emmerson pulled us through. Weirdest moment was shooting the video for The City and the Stars – a live composite, it was shot one by one, so we each spent the day in musical reverie on a totally empty stage – looked great when York had worked his magic though.
