Live/Wire - Diary - A Hull Of A Place To Be...

That’s how it turned out at the Springhead this weekend………..
 

I wish I had a quid for every time Tink said either,  ‘HULL Ain’t A Bad Place To Be’, or Highway To HULL’………..I’d have fourteen nicker now!! It was his first time in the Tigers lair, so the boys let him get away with it for a while…..well, for at least thirty minutes.
 

Usually when you do double headers, the Saturday’s are fuller than the Friday, generally. But because of the Rugby World Cup Final on Saturday, Friday was the jam packed evening. Not that the Saturday was quiet…….not by a long chalk. I don’t know what they put in their alcohol up there, but long may it continue!
 

So, what juicy tit bits has this newshound got from the weekend? Well, it was great to see our resident Hull roadie, Kev, who surely has the highest squeaking, speaking voice known to man….as well as the nattiest push bike in christendom! Cheers for all your hard work and towel throwing! Lorne surprised everyone, by waking up at 8am…..then not actually getting out of bed until 10am……I’ll be honest, my memory is nowhere near as good as it used to be, so much so, that I’ve got a real block going on here! So, don’t be surprised if there’s an update when the rest of the boys give me a gentle nudge, as to what went on. (What?....... Absolut?........But your honour, I give you my word, not a single drop passed my lips!)
 

We did manage to get some rehearsing done on Saturday early evening, before the doors opened. Watch out for some new tunes in the next month or so……If anyone has another spare cymbal for Daz, please post it a.s.a.p., ‘cos he’s smashed another one to smithereens. It’s only good for a part in a Chinese play now…..We laughed a lot this weekend…..but then we’ve laughed a shit load in the last month……happy days! It was good to see Di, Donna & Jane all four sheets to the wind on Saturday night……Jane gets an honourable mention for wearing a rubber handkerchief, disguised as a skirt! Friday saw two dancing girls join us on stage. Tink nearly lost the plot, Jon had a grin as wide as a Cheshire cat & I couldn’t turn around to face the audience for a while……….
 

Talking of rock n roll…..I saw one of the best tattoos up at the Springhead. One of our fans had the words ‘50% Rock’ on one wrist and ‘50% Roll’ on the other…….100% class methinks. Sums up the Springhead fans too……..Live/Wire thanks you all……as well as Kim (Merch it bird!), Kev (Lift it mate!), Mick & Joy (Turn it up!) and Terry.
 

Next up – a week off, where Tink wonders what to do, Jon ponders going to foreign climes to top up his tan, Daz looks for dustbin lids to replace his knackered cymbal, Ed renovates a shell of a house in one week flat,  Beano reminisces with a Spitfire fighter ace and Lorne continues to gloat over getting his ‘Plug Me In’ DVD before anyone else.

Just for that act of smugness Lorne, I’m gonna end with this classic line. Jon turned to Lorne on the Saturday morning in the Travelodge, after rummaging through his washbag and asks him the classic question………………….

‘Have you got any shampoo mate?’

 ROCK ON!
