Tour again again

11. Bristol at the Louisiana. The sweatiest gig I have ever played. I dripped tears of the stuff throughout the performance, but it was still great. Both Miriam and her friend Kate came down to watch and that made it special. More noticeable to the fans, however, was the presence of Big Jeff. Known throughout Bristol (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2515831194 - for his facebook group), Jeff is a huge lion of a man with bigger hair. He goes to every gig in the area. He dances too much. He doesn't stop dancing. He'd dance at a funeral. He stands at the very front. During 'Sally', Jeff's efforts to conduct Johnny through the medium of arrhythmic mime caused him to forget the words entirely...Memorable...

12. After the hilarity of Bristol, it was all a bit more routine last night in Cardiff at the Club Ifor Bach (which apparently translates as 'little Ivor's club', but is dubbed 'the welsh club' by all the English local to the area). Cardiff is nice, we've been there before to a great reception and this was no different. The place was full to the brim and had a bigger capacity than most of the places we've played on this tour, meaning the reception to our stuff was amazing. Once again a lot of liquid poured from my brow. To be honest, the performance was not as tight as the night before, but we're all pretty tired and due our day off. Give us a break...
