Despite the chaos on the M5 due to an accident we managed to make it to Cheltenham via the back roads. Si did manage to get lost when we got to Cheltenham but that’s what happens when you let Phil do the navigating.
Fandangle weren’t so lucky and got stuck on the M5, but they made the most of it spraying a few extra stars on their van and having a traffic jam bear hunt (one of them dressed in a bear suit). The baseball bat used to chase the bear also came in handy when Adam had to scare off a few chavs that were taking a little bit to much of an interest in their van.
Was a fun night and made more so by the fact our estranged drummer Tom came along to see us. It was the first time he’s got to see us since he went on his sabbatical. Was a bit weird for him being on ‘other side’ but he did enjoy himself and him and Stu were deep in drummer talk later in the evening.
Fandangle were great fun. The next time we play with them is the 30th in Braunton which is my Birthday and they’ve promised it will be a good-un so looking forward to that.
