UUGGH! I finally woke up at about Midday, and went in search of something resembling breakfast. The crew are all in the hotel as well. I bumped into Tony Smith (Guy’s keyboard tech.) in the lobby, so we wandered across the road to the local mall, and found our way to the food court. On [...]

I awoke to the rain.. This wonderful weather we’re having has finally broken. I managed to dodge the storms, and walk out to collect my laundry. On the way back, I got my hair cut at a small barber’s shop. My hair (what there is LEFT of it), is very easy…. just a pair of [...]

Did 30 lengths, and a few weights this morning. You know, it is so seldom in North America that you can go out on foot, and do all your shopping. I have fallen in love with this town. This morning, I had breakfast across the road from the hotel, took my laundry for a service [...]

Day off: Charleston, SC. I had a couple of problems with the room last night. It appears I was right above the laundry, and the tumble dryers were going throughout the night. I finally got up at 7.30am and called down. They’ve now moved me to the other end of the hotel. I have to [...]

This seems easier than it, in fact is. First, it is a 1h45m drive to Richmond airport before you can even check in. Second, there is no direct flight. So we left the hotel at 10am sharp. The drive, I must say, was through some of the most beautiful countryside I have seen in the [...]

Virginia Beach

This is the only amphitheatre on the tour. The weather is, luckily for the crowd, still great. In fact, it couldn’t be better. Sunshine with fluffy clouds, and a cool breeze. The hotel here sucks, though, I’m afraid. The place is not very clean, the rooms are grimy, the staff are really not friendly or [...]

Flight from Atlanta at 1.15pm. Took off late, arrived late, our bus fetched us from the airport, and by the time we arrived at the gig, Elton was already there.The set looks amazing. It is a tribute to Gianni Versace, and I think he would be proud of it. The new kit looks fabulous on [...]

I let myself sleep as long as possible. After the gig last night, it took me a while to come down enough to go to bed (Adrenaline is an interesting thing). So it was about 2am before I really got off. Once I woke up sufficiently, I made it down to the pool and did [...]
