final leg

Wotcha

Well that's that done and dusted then. It seems to have gone quite quickly really and Brakes were only just getting into the swing of things, good job we've got another month of gigs booked, haha. Ulster hall is a lovely building with a big fucking pipe organ at one end. Some of us went bowling at the local bowlplex, not me though for i was walking around belfast in the rain trying to find an internet cafe so i could download some remixes of our smash hit "all night disco party". What is it with internet places? Somebody opens one, fills it with computers and then puts some computer illiterate drongo in charge. I got as far as downloading the songs before i realised i couldn't burn them as the cd drive wasn't being detected. All i got was confused grunts and an indifferent face from the drongo. I've had it with drongos. Only yesterday i waited 45 minutes in little chef for some breakfast before i had to remind the shitheads that id ordered it in the first place. Anyway.... We had a travel day after belfast and took a swaying ferry across to stranraer. Twas a beautiful day and the south west of scotland looked proper nice. It was late once we'd got to sheffield so we ordered in some indian food before hitting the hay. Sheffield octagon is more of a description than a name. I didn't count the walls but it is was definately multi-faced, and in sheffield. Eamon and i found a samuel smiths owned pub and drank some ale. We had a very good gig and we were all feeling lively so we popped next door to see the chalets play the fuzz club. They were better than i thought they'd be, good drummer and i liked the call and answer boy/girl singing technique. They had a few good tunes. Off to london it was the next morning and we had a spring in our step. We had the usual london guest list nightmare which resulted in most of us having to ring family members and tell them they couldn't come. The caterers made an extra special menu aptly named 'the last supper'. I had antipasta to start, complete with marinated anchovies and then smoked haddock on a bed of spinach, i like spinach. The gig was superb, eamon broke a string which put him off a bit but other than that it was grand. Playing fron of 4000 people wasn't as daunting as i though it'd be. We got thoroughly drunk afterwards and had many laughs before driving very quickly back to brighton. All in all a good time had by all.
