Day 12 - Recife
I suppose it’s fitting that the last day off the tour should be the biggest balls up. We were all told to be ready for an 11 a.m. pick-up for the airport. Our flight was at 1.15 and we had a TV broadcast to do before the gig (actually they booked it […]

On tour - Day 10 and 11
Day 10 - Belo Horizonte (again)
I didn’t think there was enough traveling going on during this tour, so I decided to go home in between gigs! Actually, it was my wedding anniversary, so I popped home on the day off. It’s actually between Rio and Aracaju, so it kind of made sense. I needed an […]

Apologies and updates
First of all, let me apologise for the lack of posts and newsletters. After my trip to New York I came down with pneumonia which knocked me out a bit - in fact I’m still getting over it almost 3 months later. Anyway, that’s no excuse. In fact, you might ask, if I wasn’t doing […]

Twitter not
Just a quickie. Back at home for day in the middle of the tour with Judy Carmichael. I was messing around with Twitter a while ago and finally signed up a few days before the tour started - the idea being to ‘Twitter’ away on the road and use them as small blogs. However, due […]
