The O2 Academy priority can be useful,but, they need to make everyone aware of it, or rather in this case which door its at! I’ve used it here a few times & we always queued at the side & then the queue gets split at the front. So you can imagine my annoyance after queuing for hours to find out they’d change the door they’re using now which is usually for guest passes etc. But luck was on my side as we still managed front row 😉 Already the best thing about tonight is i’ll get to meet some of my friends from  the old Skunk Board days. In the queue i met Audrey, Faizal, & Alex.Â
Tonight we also get the support act ” Bones”. I really enjoyed their set & had to video a song :
Skunks set was the same as in Manchester. Everything seemed to flow a LOT better tonight. The crowd was pretty damn loud.
After the gig we went to a local bar & got nice group photoÂ
Following that we went to somewhere else with the Dutch guys drinking late. Tonight was the first time i’ve known Rob to be “lost” in London. Google Maps is your friend though 😉
I always look forward to a Skunk gig more than any others and the come down from it goes on longer. They mixed new songs in with old and to me the gig came over very well, loved every minute of it. As always good to make some new friends and meet old ones.
As well as being Diana’s first Skunk gig, I got talking to a couple from Cornwall and a lass from Italy who shared the front row and it was their first Skunk gig, the band have only been going (on and off!) for nearly 22 years where have these lost souls been?
Now, when will they do a proper tour?
