"I can't believe I just said that; why did I say that?", Fyfe sniggers after wryly introducing the two rather elegant violinists at his side as "my bitches." Wearing a haggard suit and sporting the audacious combination of socks and sandals (he later admits he forgot to pack another pair of shoes before he left home earlier that morning), he casually tussles with his golden hair, looking more like a bohemian businessman than anything else.
