Our first tour (sort of)! 2 cars and a stylish roofbox crammed with gear and sweaty bodies. The croft was a cool little back room type venue, the sort of place i like. I got lost parking my car when we were meant to be sound checking and had to rush in. The show was ok, it was a charity gig for Barnado's with acoustic acts in the front room inbetween full bands in the backroom. It wasn't packed by any means, but we started playing to about 10 people and ended up playing to more like 30 so that can't be too bad. There was also some nice cake on sale, I had a tasty bit of fruit cake. It was also nice to be able to go out and have a few shandies after the show with our friends in Bristol, even if Ben managed to take half the group on an hour long walk around Bristol in the freezing cold. What else? A man touched my bum in Start the Bus. Thanks to Bill and Joe for putting us up.
