AFTER getting packed up and out the hotel we head for a nearby all-day breakfast place – JJ’s Kitchen in Gateshead. Turns out to be a great find.

Then it’s onward to Hull. We sp[lit the driving and check into our hotel on the edge of town where we chill for an hour or so before making our way to tonight’s venue – Wrecking Ball.

What a great place. Spacious record and book shop and cafe downstairs…and a fantastic music room upstairs.

Engineer Matt is greta and we soundcheck quickly then set up merch before relaxing in the green room until doors open.

I’m amazed at the turnout – was expecting just a handful of folks – and I have a grand time.

We’re back at the hotel at a reasonable time and enjoy some snacks and a nightcap…
