0:00 Map of Wales

Right folks, Jonathan here, another gig log for you. Today I'm off to Wrexham near, well it's near Wrexham, and I've got to go through into Aberystwyth, then Llangurig, Newtown, Welshpool, Oswest Street, then Wrexham. On the way to Llangurig, selling a blinking tin can while we're being shaken. Here we are, we're coming into Newtown now, which is still in Wales. And if you look at a map of Wales, it's dead centre. So this place is called Newtown and as far as I know this is where Nicole lives. Well we're here. It took me quite a while to get here because we're back end of beyond and I went through some dodgy road knackered. But here's the venue and sort of got the speakers over there. I mean the speakers are nearly the same size as the building so they should be quite interesting.

3:11 Tonight, and that is that last

A few other bits and pieces. Balloons! And there's a bar through there. And the floor is bouncy, and that should be fun. So let's set the gear up, hold tight. There's a few people but early days. What I find as well sometimes, if you put a light behind you it looks quite good. So another bit of a tip for you. Put the lights back on in there. And the smoke machine decided to buff out too much smoke, that was funny. All right, well, might as well just, you know, if you can't beat them, join them. One thing I'd like to talk about tonight, and that is that last night, we went to the gig, I got stopped by the police, and it was right outside the actual venue. Now, I got breathalyzed, and I had to take my documents, or I've got to take my documents in, etc. People would think, oh God, you know, police, waste of time, bloody hell, they're a pain in the arse, and, you know...

They should just let you get on with it, but at the end of the day, they've got a job to do and I'm pissed and I could have run someone over. Well, not that I would do that, but at the end of the day, that's what they're there for. They're there to get the idiots off the road, aren't they? Plus the fact, you see, a long time ago, a policeman told me, he said, listen here, one day we could stop your van and it might not be you driving it. Now, I might have mentioned this before, but someone could have nicked it, so there you go. So that goes without saying. Anyway, another good night. Practice and enjoy.
