I’d been looking forward to this gig for some time,yet,when the day arrived, i just couldn’t get motivated for it. Lots of crap going around my head & generally confused about situations. Eventually, i decided on the old adage of ” It’ll get better once there” so i zipped off to Nottingham. Upon arrival there were about 10+ peeps in the queue, so i decided to wait for next hour & half +. Had a nice laugh/chat with a Czech girl from Leeds who had followed a few shows (Hi Barbara). Took a while for queue to grow, but eventually it got as far as the car park. Once inside, again i was disappointed as they didn’t open the balcony. Oh well, back to position number 2 under the stairs 😉
After a while my mate Steve rolled in…with the 2pint of beer..Had a little chat & then they wandered off into the crowd.
The first band, “Santa Cruz”, i’d seen before. They’re quite a “trashy” band. Went down well with the crowd.DSC06217

As always, Reckless Love delivered. They’re such a fun live band & the quality of songs has always been consistent. Of course, to many of us, Rock City is paradise, so Reckless Love came back to paradise 😉

And then they set the night on fire…

After the gig, i met up with Ady & we had a natter about some stuff that had gone down & also considered the possibility of Download festival. Still nothing definite yet.

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

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
