January 2019
Russell and his team of musicians appear to have had a quick trip to Davos, in Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum takes place each year and is currently in full swing this week, but there’s been no hint of precisely why. the Team are there.
We can only imagine that they may have been performing at a ‘private function’ … but what a glorious place to start the year.
