With the tour now complete, read on for Gareth’s final entry. Ed
Monday 3rd November
Tour finished. I’m home on my island, tired and battered, but alive.
I’m sorry I didn’t have an opportunity to update my diary after Coventry.
It was all go go go with no chance to connect myself.
Sheffield is only a couple of hours drive away so we piled up and go down to ‘business’.
It wasn’t the greatest show to be fair, but given the amazing experiences that preceded it, I wasn’t too bothered.
It was a pub and they’re often the toughest crowds.
After all, they’re not there for music, they’re there for booze and flirting.
A few people in the audience dug what they heard and I guess that’s all you can hope for.
A four hour drive to Glasgow followed. I must admit, it was the only time I felt my eyes going while I was driving.
A very frightening experience I must admit. All that kept me going was the thought of tea and Jono’s floor.
Fridays show in Glasgow was a blast.
A halloween party in the Barfly. I was Bam Bam from the flintstones but what with me being a grown man… I looked more like a preditory gay. But hey! it was a booze fuelled Scotich evening and even my England football shorts slipping into sight beneath the loin cloth could ruin it.
Although, I did panic a ‘wee’ bit.
Tour over and back to reality.
I feel winded. Not only by that but by Derby’s last minute disallowed goal against Forest. If you can find a problem with the goal, I’ll give you a gift.
I keep staring into a pack of smarties, but no answer is forthcoming.
The Liberty Tour will be back in March.
Double the length and double the girth. My eyes are watering at the prospect.
