Cambridge / the UK live debut of EWITFRN
Firstly, I was wrong , there is no free wi-fi internet on National Express coaches, though we did get a good glimpse of a pensioners cock for entertainment (we sat right next to the toilet & somebody opened the door on the poor old guy as he was mid-leak!). And we now have our first UK gig under our belt. Cambridge city center is lovely (my first time there ever!) though of course we were playing at a run-down-pub-converted-to-gig in a less salubrious part of town! The opening band The Regency Array were great. Unfortunately we made the minor error of leaving "Drumphrey", the machine containing all our rhythm/backing tracks for the tour, in Camden, so we had to use the back-up plan of playing the entire gig along to Dyan's iPod. Thankfully, despite a few technical errors, it worked & a good time was had by all! Also the promoter was really generous with the rider (note to gig promoters: bands really like this touch, fyi !) ... we were chomping on hummus & salami sandwiches washed down with cheap vodka while listening to The Replacements into the small hours at the Travelodge! Birmingham here we come !
