All these people worship BEER!Max drew this during the show and made sure we all signed it as soon as we came off stage tonight.   The audience tonight were what we have come to call ‘a listening audience’. After the noise and excitement of Italy and Spain, it has taken a while for us to [...]

Crocks is backOK, I’m back. After a welcome break of seven whole days off, we’re back on the road, literally. This morning in London we met the tour bus which will whisk us round the UK in luxury this week. There was quite a pleasant surprise awaiting us. The ‘splendid’ chap who drove us around [...]

buskingTHIS JUST IN…….Tim Hook has been exposed. He’s actually a Hillbilly from east Tennessee who is masquerading as a tour manager in Europe. Local authorities take note.

TimBilbao, I’m writing this one before the show tonight as I know I won’t be inclined to do it after we fly back to Madrid and arrive in the hotel at 2:00am. I shall be filling my bag with beers from the dressing room, in preparation for the frosty welcome at the hotel bar. Last [...]

Outside the Las VentasThis is the wonderful Las Ventas bullring in Madrid with the mobile recording trucks sitting outside. Thinking about it this morning it’s quite remarkable that we did the show at all. The trucks with our equipment only arrived from Lisbon at the venue at midday, ususally they arrive very early in the [...]

We all know for sure that wherever he is now, he’ll be happily pickin’ his guitar. Rest in peace Chet. This picture [...]
