Sitting backstage in the Manchester Apollo. What a beautiful venue.
We soundchecked Sailing Away and The Day To Day earlier. Sailing is the hidden track on The Boy With No Name and The Day To Day is a b side on Closer. Both sound good. We'll pull them into the set soon. Maybe a cover. We recently covered 3 Squeeze songs. Pulling Mussels (From A Shell) would be cool.
This room I am in resembles your grannys living room. Emmerdale Farm is on the telly in the corner, Andy is fast asleep on the sofa. Dougie, Neil and Cleas are playing computer games on the bus.
Brinkman are now on satge. This means we have 1 hour before we come on. Lately we have been coming on from the back of the room and walking through the crowd instead of from the traditional "side of stage". It is funny every night to see peoples faces as we walk past them in the crowd, making our way to the stage. If you go to a travis show, check it out. We'll be entering from behind.
Ok. I need to go and wake Andy up and summon the rhythm section from the grips of Tiger Woods Pro Golf.
