Another good one! We went on last, quite late, so the room had been slightly drained of people, but there were still a good number left. These people included "Crazy Dancing Girl", plus my sister, aunt and cousin. FAMILY GIG. I received a lunch box from my cousin which I ate when I got home. Hooray!

We didn't expect too much from this one, but it was actually quite fun. The venue was MASSIVE, and there was a dog running around in it. There was a bowl of black pudding on the bar available as snack. Beer was £1.85 - will this be "cheapest on tour"? There were no food shops open in the entire of the town centre, but they had a Primark.
We scarpered after the Scarlet Tuesday had played and went BOWLING in Sheffield. This was excellent. Nic Scarlet won the first game, Pod Pony won the second after starting the round with FOUR strikes in a row! We ate dodgy burgers and returned home where I fell into some kind of pub crawl. Today's gig will be painful as a result, but I am up to the challenge!

GIG RATING: 5/10. BOWLING RATING: 10/10.
