touring isn't all that it's cracked up to be...
especially if your manager has no sense of scale.
Once had to do three gigs on the trot. Dubai, Abu Dabi, and ... Manchester. We had to fly straight after the Abu Dabi gig to London, then drive to Manchester. The sound engineer and I took heroic amounts of amphetamines when we arrived in Manchester, and I nearly had a heart attack on stage. Spent the second half of the set with my skin a lovely grey colour.

I've goten rat arsed in Germany with Fish, at the festival free bar. He's a genuinely nice bloke. On the bus back to the hotel, our singer picked a fight with the lead singer from Shawaddywaddy. (who's not a nice bloke).

I was lucky enough to work with Page & Plant in 1998... It was my job to run on stage and give them bottles of water. (Best job I ever had). I met Robert Plant a few years ago, at a services near Kidderminster. And fair dues, he remembered me, when I met him again. (And signed a copy of led zep 4).

But best of all... my lead singer is the guitar tech for Smokie.

Sorry about the length (I bet Robert Plant has never said that).
