The Boat gig.

When it was first proposed to me I thought 'Oh God No!'.  I ain't playing on no boat.  Visions of a harbour cruise for singles came to mind.   Bad Karaoke.  Even worse lighting.  A dinner crowd perhaps.
 
But the choice to do 250 to 300 capacity clubs meant that our options were somewhat limited.   I really wanted to make sure I played in Bristol this time – and this was our only option.
 
But you know what?  It rocked (no pun intended.. see what I did there?)
It was a really cool venue and a great set and the audience were mad for it.
 
I came on stage and the second the gig started I knew it was going to be fun. Added in bits of 'Alphabet Street' tonight into Dirty and we included 'Dublin Sky' for good measure at the end.
 
All in all a great gig and I'm slowly started to realize that it's soon coming to an end!

Only 5 more shows now.   Brighton then two in Birmingham, the Amsterdam gig and our final show in London.
 
Yikes!
