DAY OF show promo on my socials is becoming more and more involved and time consuming…between that and other stuff we need to get done we’re right on our midday checkout deadline at the hotel.

The GoPro isn’t working without a battery…even on USB powered…some kind of system glitch and, of course, I didn’t bring a battery!

We stop at a huge Curry’s/PC World in Darlington to pick one up – no joy. They’re advertised at Argos but when we get there you can only order them online! Seems like shopfronts are now just physical fronts for online ordering.

We hit the road to Sheffield and I call ahead to a Jessops. Success at last. We stop off, pick up the battery, an extra memory card and have some lunch.

There’s time to chill at the hotel for a while before loading at The Lescar – a really nice venue we’ve not been to before.

The gig – and merch – goes well and we have a blast.

A late stop at a Tesco for some supplies on the way back to the hotel then time to relax a bit…big gig jn Hull tomorrow (Friday)….
