It says a lot about this tour when 9am is considered to be a lie-in. There's a real 'work hard/play hard' ethic here...I missed breakfast and went straight onto the tour bus, dumping my luggage and we had lunch at midday. Had some fish which clearly disagreed with my stomach and regretted it later. Back on the road, checked in to the latest hotel, quick rest and back on the bus again. Just the one gig today.
Lovely, huge theatre tonight. Soundchecks were difficult and there was a sense that we never really got it right. Our Belgian chums also had the same problems.
Typically excessive, fancy dinner and then back to the venue. Show was fine in the end; sound wasn't great in the audience (so I'm told) but we were really, really tight tonight and the audience loved it. An audience member called me a "psychopath" at the end. Lovely stuff.
Got back, no bar in the hotel so us and the Belgians tried to find a quiet bar in town but after walking for ages all we found was a really a horrible club. So bad. Everyone went for it, apart from V, Catherine, Leo and myself - we're not clubbing types. We bought a load of beer and snacks from a nearby store and sat in V's room, chatting and drinking till 3am. It was honestly one of my favourite nights of the tour.
