JOHN TOUR DIARY PT 1

We did the last of our shows supporting The Sounds last night at the Mean Fiddler in London. It felt a bit strange doing a London show so early in a tour, as we usually end the tour with them. It was fine though...decent turn out. I also bought a new effects pedal on the day, so i had fun during the set with that!

The shows on the whole have been really good. Manchester was great, and it was brilliant to see so many of our fans turn up so early to see us.

Birmingham was good to, although i think we were converting, rather than playing to the already converted. I also nearly tripped over the monitor lead and feel over, and for some reason kept hitting the same tooth on the hard metal microphone!

The main support act to The Sounds, Goodbooks, are nice lads.

Its our Manchester radio session on BBC6 today, which is quite nerve racking, as it goes out live!! Were having a sort of aftershow tonight at The Koffee Pot too, spinning some records and the like, then off to Newcastle the day after. The story continues...

Ive been listening to :
Liars
This Heat

Ive been reading :
Nowhere To Run : The Story Of Soul (Got it for £1.99 in a book shop, its really good)

See you at the shows...
xx

Hope you don't keep knocking the same tooth!
I don't think you would look quite as nice with a big black gap when you smiled!
