This is the first of the repeat gigs from last tour. Tony Beastie did such a great job last time and we had such a great time, that we are all looking forward to tonight. The drive was a leisurely affair, up the M1, and then East, through the flat expanses of Lincolnshire countryside. We found the Campanile hotel where we left it last year (!!). Funnily enough the same French guy was managing it, although this was, in fact, his last day at the job, and he was departing for his beloved France the next day! But he remembered us. I had a steak lunch in the restaurant, before settling down for a short rest before leaving for the gig, while Tony
Beastie took JJ (Jeff and Alan tagged along, too) to the local radio station for an interview.
This really is like being back amongst friends, which, of course, we were! And we’ve sold out, apparently. It was like 10 months had never passed. Scott’s assistant, Anita (yes, a woman), was there already, setting stuff up.
