Beware Of Darkness – Gig Addiction

Skunk Anansie , Beware Of Darkness, @ Manchester Academy , 22-3-13

Travelling to this one, there was quite a bit of snow around. I traveled on the train, so that was a great choice. Must confess, i didn’t fancy the idea of standing around outside in the cold, so i arranged to get in early on (Thanks Cass 😉 )

As i had a standard ticket & didn’t want to get kicked out, Stumpy gave me a pass. Oh i also had the offer of upgrading my accommodation from the Travelodge to the Malmaison hotel as someone wasn’t gonna use their room that night. As my Travelodge was much closer to the venue, i decided to stay there.

Once doors opened, the place soon filled up. Again, the opening act was “Beware Of Darkness” Of course, everyone was waiting for Skunk though 🙂 Manc academy can get a bit rough down the front & tonight was no exception. As ever, the Skunks were great. Sometimes i just love my life 🙂 Skin showed off her levitating skills 😉

When i came out of the gig, it was chucking it down with snow. So pleased i’d decided to use the trains on these last few gigs 😉

Skunk Anansie , Beware Of Darkness, O2 Academy, Leeds, 20-3-13

Typically, i was the first person at the venue 😉 Had a chat with “Beastie” whilst waiting. For ages no one joined the queue, then, a right bundle of energy turned up : ” Is the gig still on? Where is everyone?” . I said ” i’d imagine most peeps are in the pub” lol. I told her i’d seen the tour already & we’re in for a good show. We had a good laugh whilst waiting for others to arrive. After i’d told her i’m staying in Leeds, she asked if i fancied going for a drink afterwards…of course ! 🙂 The gig was another good one. During the show, skin said something to me & Lorah seemed impressed 🙂 My stand out memories of AFTER the gig was the last bar we were in, pretty much at closing time, Lorah brought pints over…then went back to the bar & got a couple more! So we both had 2 pints on the go. Then, we couldn’t find my hotel….once there, we had a few more beers 😉 A bloody good day/night for sure !
