Bristol holds lots of lovely memories, for instance when Elton got up to sing with us when Paul Carrack was in the band on the Some Fantastic tour, and times plying here solo in various venues. Tonight we played well but i was dogged by ear issues, my in ears kept cutting out, i was all over the place in my head and messed up along the way, I’m so sorry. Having said that a nice night with a lovely audience who eventually came to their feet for a small dance. It was another long day and my eyes are stinging from the tiredness that covers me like a face mask. Its not going to get easier so its more of the same until it stops. Luckily we have a great crew and team around us. The Strypes were playing in town and they came by for some food and a chat about the ay things are for them, its tough. I love them all very much and hear their pain, and i know their pain, i have been there too. That never helps, but its where we are. All will come good for them in the end, they will get great things all they had to do is learn to absorb the body punches. I took them into to meet John Cooper, who was hanging out of the window having a fag! it was like being at school, a funny moment in a very tense hour or two. Was Banksy there, we will never know! I saw Morrisey today climb into a postbox, see above.
