END OF UK TOUR...ON TO EUROPE...

Wow, what a time I've had, Rene came with me to Hyde Park festival, we got the train and then a black cab to the gates. We made our way to the airstream, and soon began the show. We had the most amazing guest's on, Razorlight and Ed Hardcourt, Rose hill drive came on again, and the show was aired on the huge screen in the Hard Rock tent. Rene had to go home on her own as I was travelling to Beaulieu with the magic bus. We packed up and left, and drove through the night to Beaulieu, which is actually the area where I used to holiday as a child. White stripe's was written very close to where we were playing, whilst camping with Rene. It is a gorgeous area, although the road's very twisty and up and down, but horses and deer run wild. The gig went very well, it was good to see Mark T and his son, who gave me a gorgeous jar of honey from his hol's, thank's mate, Delbut, Kenny and Sarah, and Charlotte and Laura, to whom I owe a great debt of thank's, because Charlotte gave me a lift home, she is such a sweetie, so is Laura.
As I say, I had the next day off, and then travelled to Liverpool by train, I court a black and white cab to the gig, which was being held in a huge blue and yellow fairground tent. I can't remeber what I played, but we had a great band on called Shack, the Who were awesome as ever, and I escorted Charlotte and Laura her friend to the side of the stage, for a great view and thank's. I stayed in a great hotel that night, and walked to the gig the next day. We had another great show with the Casbah club playing, they were fantastic, but there's been so many that I'm forgetting some amazing people, I know I am, please help.... Anyway, from Liverpool, I flew with the band to Dublin, which is a beautiful city, and spent the next day sleeping in my lovely hotel room. The next day, accompanied with Rene, who travelled overnight to meet me in the morning, went to the gig, which seemed to be surrounded by a hurricane, strange, as in Dublin it was fine. It was touch and go, but when we finished the show, it felt good, against the odd's.
Packed up after a hard long great show, and drove with the bus's to T- in the Park, Scotland. I didn't manage an hour's sleep, and when we got to the site, the place was a mud bath. The show went on, although it was a tight one, all the crew deserved medal's. I was very tired and didn't feel I gave enough thank's to the guest's, E from the Eel's was amazing, he bewitched me... and Regina Speckter was incredible and unique, as well as beautiful, it was another amazing show, yet again there were other incredible guest's, it's just I'm going to run out of expleative's soon.
After the show, I was completely wiped out, Rachel sent me home for a rest, so we haven't done the Bonn show with the Who... But I've had some time to recouperate, next is Berlin tomorrow.... I know I'm a nightmare, but I left my camera in Scotland, what a nightmare, but at least I took some on my new phone, hope everyone is watching the show's, we're all working really hard... I'm also having difficulties blogging, or finding time with a computer, so I'm sorry, but it may be some time before you get the next installment, I hope I can get my act together soon, anywho, take care all, thank's for all the great shout's, I really appreaciate them, keep watching the show, and of course GMaS!!!
