Saturday, 26th January 2008, Coliseu dos Recreios - Lisbon.

What a great night! The No Smoking Orchestra play music-to-make-you-happy, which the people who name these sort of things decided to call “Gypsy techno-rock”.

As expected, the show was as much a rock concert as it was a circus act, with a big ensemble of quirky characters, part musicians part jugglers and clowns, who mesmerise us with their theatrics while spellbinding us with their crazy tunes.

I’m still shouting “Pitbull… Terrier!”
