Day Nineteen: Sinner’s Day Festival, Belgium
One of my favourite shows with the Furs! I also got to hang next to Mark E Smith and Mark Almond. Didn’t catch as much Echo as i’d have liked but these things are sometimes not meant to be. So now; home.
Day Eighteen: To Brussels
Thanks BA, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. One of those days spent in airports trying to sleep. Ended up at a hotel in Brussels airport with 6 little bottles of champagne. Not intentional. Zzzzzzzzz.
Day Seventeen: Glasgow
Glasgow, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor.

The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Smiths. All were here. I love the audience but that damn barrier is in place once again. Seems ...
Day Thirteen: Manchester (Off)
6am, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. A new song taking shape in the hotel room. A beautiful day. Cold as hell but clear and sharp and blue. A quick pint for Erika’s birthday and we’re on the bus to Manchester. Yogi gives me his ipod and i’m listening to the Beatles and getting ...
Day Eleven: Frome, England
Nice Amps, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Awake to bright blue sunshine morning in Frome. A hilariously English breakfast situation with Bob, Rob, Paul and Mars that i can’t go in to except to say there was fire and. A walk through the fields to the town to get some magazines and Maltesers. ...
