F*** me Maisey, I think that's my hairy arms sticking out there in the middle. Thankfully hiding my face. Did notice you attempting a few towers here and there

Saturday night was absolutely fantastic. What a way to go out! So glad I was there!

What happened and why do I have a pointy footprint on my shoulder?!

All for nights were great fun, with only the Children night sagging slightly in the middle, what with the weight of slower numbers. But the last night was a great way to finish it all off. Plus Miles Hunt was his usual excellent self.
Hi to Maisey, Robertzombie, Eva, Eggi and various other people i met over the course of four afternoons sitting in O'Neils drinking vodka and coke. Still don't agree with you about that support band Robert.

Great video of a great band. The better half ended up right at the front for the last 2 songs... right infront of Mark GT (surprise surprise) A great last 4 nights....nothing the sisters will ever do in the future will match it.

Oh and did anybody film scardys little victory dance before the last 2 songs?? If you didn't catch it then you missed a treat.

Nice to see Andrew S and Weebs in the pub every night.

I may well have been next to your other ha;f Snowey, I was bang in front of MGT as well, although I dropped back to make a tower...

All four nights were great, as was the aftershow (where they played two extra songs then came into the pit to sign autographs, chat, snog groupies). A real "I was there" moment...well, several moments.

And I agree about the Sisters needing a bass player.

Who was in the band besides Wayne for these four nights?

Same lineup as last year and God Is A Bullet - Mark Gemini Thwaite on guitar, Steve Spring on drums and Ritchie Vernon on bass. Simon Hinkler was there (and at the German dates) as special guest, usually coming on for the last few songs of the main set plus most of the encores. Their manager, George Allen played keyboards on a couple of songs, and Miles Hunt and Erica Knockalls who were the support on the Saturday, joined them for the encores after the first set (they played two sets that night).

Ahem, they played three sets that night

I spotted at least 4 Heartlanders on this page of Photographs

Myself (with my friend and fellow Missionary, Luke), Rob & Drenchrom(with James of The Mumbles), and Weebs with an excellent bloke who I was next to on several of the nights

Two main sets and four sets of encores. The aftershow was only two songs.
