Glasgow town man!!




Man I need to get a wee note pad!  So much happens each night and I think to myself "that'll be great for the blog" .... and then I forget.  

I have decided that Glasgow is the best town in the world though.  The QMU last night was packed.  I think there was nearly 600 in and I'm fairly sure at least one girl crying in the front row.  Glasgow being Glasgow though a couple of idiots ruined it for themselves by fighting in the crowd and one guy got himself kicked out by running on stage.  If you ever come to a show and you're expecting an acoustic gig you have bought the wrong ticket.  The energy is more like a full on rock show and the fans are just as mental.  And do you know what amazes me most?  How loud the crowd can sing!  It's deafening!

But I'm not on long enough yet!!!!!  It's so frustrating!!!! It's like I sit down, get that buzz, get all pumped up and then it's over... it's a bit like being in a strip club.

For me, though, last night was the first time I really felt I'd arrived.  The crowd went mental when I went on and I think the size of venue meant that the drums really added something to the gig for the first time to so I felt more comfortable.  

I really want to be able to show what it is like sitting where I sit during the gig.  So, as you can see, I have taken a few snaps.  This is my office man it's funny.  I'm such a lucky sod man.   

After the show we went to the Research Club for the after show party and I got to see some old friends which was wicked.  My favourite Techno heavy DJ Andy Blip was playing and Ross Clark did a few tunes.  All in all it's not a bad way to make a living!

I wanna say a quick hello to my cousin Pete who I'm told has been reading this wee blog.... Hey Pete, tell your mum I love her!
