Vienne, Metz, Paleo and St.Polten.

I travelled with the band from Monte Carlo to Antique, which is near Lyon in France. The traffic was terrible and I arrived at the gig late, it was incredibly hot, I had no signal on my phone, and the show had been moved forward by half and hour so that we didn't have to hear the death metal band playing on stage. On a more positive note, the place was gorgeous, apparently built by the Roman's, it was spectacular. IN THE ATTIC only lasted twenty minutes, the heat was to intense, but we all lived to play another day.
I travelled in the motorhome at the end of the night, heading to Metz Amneville arena in France. We were not doing an IN THE ATTIC show there, but The Who were still playing. Justin and I done some filming in a small wood beside the arena, where I played a yet unheard song. The Who's show went well, we packed up and left for the next venue, which was a day's drive away in Switzerland.
We arrived at the Paleo festival, Nyon in Switzerland quite early in the morning, we had travelled through the night, driving through a huge storm where lightning fork's rained down almost constantly, it was quite an experience. I didn't get much sleep and felt terrible, but I managed to get a couple of hour's sleep during the day, showered and had a great massage in the hospitality area, after which I felt re-vitalised and ready for an excellent show. IN THE ATTIC was brilliant, Rachel performed beautifully, so did Pete, all in all a great show again. I didn't watch the Who perform, but I'm sure they were great. We packed up the equipment and set off again toward's Austria.
It was another long drive, but in good time, we arrived at Lovely Days festival, St Polten in Austria. This was a great venue, and where I took the picture of the field of sunflower's. The site was very hot again, but I found a VIP area, with a small stream running through, looked a little harder, and found a very private location, where I had a skinny dip, it was lovely. Apparently, this place was under four inches of snow only a month previous, that seemed even more incredible because it was so hot. IN THE ATTIC went really well, everyone performing excellently. I also got to meet Tom, a photographer and old college friend of Pete. I watched The Who perform a brilliant show beside the Attic bus, where we had a screen showing the live feed going out over the internet. It took some time before everything was packed up, and we hit the road again, still travelling in the motorhome, it was another long drive to Munsterplatz, Ulm, in Germany...
To be continued...
