I got to Grantham to pick Cat up along the way & typically, she’d had a slight problem with work & she wasn’t ready. So i had the options of either going on my own (& she would drive herself there) OR wait whilst she gets ready. As i owed her a lift,after she recently picked me up after the Garbage tour, i decided to wait. By the time we got to Nottingham it was 6.27ish. We were both expecting a reasonable size queue, but, there was only one person in front of us ! Talk about luck being on our side ! Once in the venue, we even more realized the gig wasn’t gonna be busy as the balcony was closed. During ” AllUsOnDrugs”, i’d guess there was a maximum of 60 people in there. The audience did get a bit bigger by the time We Are The Ocean came on though. They kicked off with “Do It Together”. A couple of songs in & Liam said his voice was in bad shape & that the crowd would have to sing up! Personally, i thought he sounded just fine ! They played their cover version of  ” Hey Now” (London Grammar) & played a nice mixed set with songs from all through their career. They finished with the classic ” Good For You”. A decent night out.

Well i did it again ! Two nights in a row, i was first person there! But i knew this one was sold out,so more important to get there early to take my fave spot on the balcony. The night started with Richards/Crane doing an acoustic set. It was ok. Hail Mary i found to be very boring/repetitive. Sorry guys. I knew UKJ would be great & they sure delivered. A great start with “Neighbor” (Just a shame the played the whole N.W.A. track as an intro lol) The crowd were great as pointed out by Whit. It was a real party atmosphere in there tonight. There were the obvious classics plus a great new song “Shes Already Gone” from the latest album “Uglier Than They Used Ta Be”. There was also a moment where Whit read a note out which was basically some dude asking his girlfriend to marry him. She said yes !

The lighting was pretty rubbish tonight tbh. Way too dark. But i still enjoyed the night & what better way to finish than showing their love of Motorhead covering Ace of Spades. Another early curfew so home early again tonight. P.S. Chris didn’t drink as much as usual, so we coulda stopped off at Cats on the way home. But i’ll save that for another time 🙂

We traveled via Newark so we could pick up Kristina from the train station. The plan for the day was beers/gig/beers & maybe up Rock city afterwards. Once checked into our hotel in Nottingham, we took a taxi to the city to do some “sight seeing” 🙂 DSC03488 Robin Hood had a smelly armpit 😉 We also went to the oldest pub which is set in the caves.DSC03501

Gimmie some attitude…2015-03-21 16.30.35

We were lucky my mate Steve turned up at The Sal. Seems they’d changed the doors time to what was on our tickets. So we hot footed it to venue. Quite a few there,but we still got a nice spot on raised area. Decent gig. Afterwards there was indecision about where to go : The Doghouse to see the Smash guys (Amaranthe were going) or just straight up the pubs. We went Pit & Pendulum 🙂 Oh yeah, there was some lass who took a shine to my t-shirt ,or was it me ? lol
