Hi there folks. All good here at camp-John B. Just got back from a great gig up in Durham on Thursday night, it was the first time I'd been back there since graduating from the Uni, back in 97-98. I went up for 2 days and checked out my old college, Van Mildert, and re-visited all my old haunts. Was great - but a really wierd feeling to be back there after so long! The gig was mental, one of the biggest I've done in the UK for ages actually - so big up everyone that came.
Last night I just went out in Reading with my mate Linus and DAN! to the subfactory night at the Purple Turtle. Had a mighty good sleep, much needed. Steve's driving us up to Leicester tonight, I'm on at the Formfinesse party in the Students' Union there, with heaps of other DnB ppl - should be a great night. Then on Tuesday ANOTHER student do - this one at Kent Uni in Canterbury. Always meant to try to hit up a few Uni gigs around this time of year when all the freshers are in, so its cool to have finally happened, and nice not to have to get on planes and stay in hotels to do the gigs for a change!
Am hoping to plant my tulips tomorrow, I bought a whole bunch when I was in Amsterdam for my Birthday, in a classic bout of middle-aged-ness. Had my garden all landscaped over the summer, long overdue, so this is my little personal contribution so I can feel like I actually did something... ;-)
Oh, and I did an interview for the Metro Newspaper which I think they used for my Swansea gig and this Leicester one too - so here it is for those of you that haven't seen it...
