Hey y’all

 

You might wonder why TBF decided to go back to play Wigan
for a second time. Good question. Was it because we have a massive northern
following there? Well, no. Was it because we were getting paid handsomely? Not
exactly.  But there must be a good
passing trade at the venue, right? Well, not particularly, no.  We couldn’t think of many good reasons. After
much discussion, Dan decided that the cheap Boddington’s was a good enough
reason to drive six hours north. Easily pleased, them Swiss.

 

 

The Tudor House is, to be frank, not the kind of place where
TBF’s brand of indie-pop good time party anthems (ya dig?) would usually be
appreciated by the black clad northern make-up sporting warriors of the night.
And so it proved, but thankfully there were enough regular folk who seemed to
enjoy our work. Throw in a cover of Ace of Bass’s All That She Wants and everyone’s happy…right? Maybe.

 

 

We had the pleasure of being introduced to something called
Life Metal by a Scouse band that were supporting us. Their name escapes me, but
the singer claimed to be the eighth wonder of the world, and they certainly
proved to be something else.

 

What was even more memorable, however, was the confirmation
of my outlook on life that stereotypes exist for good reason – It’s because
they tend to be true. All Scousers are car thieves? Yes and no. The video below
certainly does show a group of Liverpudlians breaking into a very nice looking
Audi, and it doesn’t matter that it was the guy’s own car he was breaking into
in order to get to the keys he had accidentally locked in his boot – which, of
course, rendered the smashing of the driver’s window totally and utterly
pointless, other than it being hilarious.

 

 

We’re about to head further north to Edinburgh now. Our poor
wee van’s been having a bit of trouble for the fy4huyw2….e3irst time (thanks
for that contribution, Gabby, our three year old groupie) so I hope we get
there eventually…
