Good productive morning of admin stuff - generally getting the shows in shape, making more progress on our big night of stand-up shows which launch in July and getting flustered that the Bristol tour date venue don't reply to emails.
Then off to Bedford for our big live DVD filming show; lovely venue that we've played in a few times before, really long soundcheck (4pm start), Keiran is a brilliant soundman who knows us well.
It's so weird that we've suddenly become the sort of band that warrants a £15 ticket and can still sell out a big venue. Long show tonight - 21 songs, thought we were a bit nervous to start with (all seated audience, lots of expectations and so, so many cameras, just everywhere) but by about 3 songs in we hit good form. I seem to have a new admirer; a girl who shouted "I love you, Paul," during the gig which was nice, but she's far too young (early twenties) and the daughter of our biggest fan so it's not something I can consider...still good for the ego, though. FH does seem to be, in the works of Vix, "a better option than Tinder" for me at the moment...
Really strong show though we're putting on at the moment, these do feel like 'shows' rather than gigs. We're getting quite big, you can feel it, and we're rising to the new challenges relatively comfortably. It's nice, isn't it, feeling like you're part of something successful? It really is a novelty.
