And you whinge about your commute.
Here follows a page ripped from what I'd call Nathan J. Hulse's Road Warrior Journal, chronicling Saturday's whoosh-there-and-back-with-no-sleep-ta-very-much jaunt to Moss, Ostfold and the Wild Bunch Rock 'n' Roll Club.
Get up at 8 a.m. (early for most musicians).
Drive to Heathrow. Traffic solid, takes just over 2 hours. Didn't think we were gonna make the plane. We did.
Just under 2 hours for flight.
Arrive in Norway, driven to hotel. Check in and quick freshen up.
Drive to venue, 1 hour 15 mins.
Soundcheck.
Off to hotel to drop off stage clothes.
Eat.
Back to hotel to change.
Walk to venue (with guitars).
Gig—success.
Chat to Pete Berry and Shake Set for 30 mins.
Drive back to hotel, 2 hours (diversion because a tunnel closed).
Arrive hotel about 2:30 a.m.
2 hours sleep, up at 4:30 a.m.Breakfast, shuttle bus to airport, catch plane.
Arrive Heathrow 9 a.m.
Drive home, arrive 11:30 a.m.
Quick nap, food, drive to Broxbourne for evening show.
Who said it was a glamourous lifestyle?
Well you did a great gig, and the crowd loved you. Plesure too have you over, hopefully it won't be the last time. Well deserved good night sleep there on sunday.
