THERE’S still a lot to get done before we hit the road for Darlington and the first of a three night run of shows down south.

I have one guitar still to be re-strung and the guitar patches on the Quad Cortex need organised for the tour set lists.

We’re on the road soon after midday and share the drive to the Travelodge in Darlington, drop off our bags then go to load in and soundcheck at The Forum.

It’s a great venue and engineers Matt and Phil have me sorted in no-time…and Phil’s specially devised system for hanging my backdrop on the lighting gantry makes stage set a breeze 🙂

I play two 45-minute sets to a great crowd and we hang out and chat for a while before loading out. A good start to the tour 🙂
